This is bullshit.
Actually It isn't. You think that the money for advertising, promotion,
and everything just appears? No. you have to make that money back, jsut
as you have to make the money from production. The cost of a CD is the
cost of what it takes to produce, and sell it as a whole. Studio time,
air play, promo copies, postage...
I happen to run a small label, and I know.
Even these costs have nothing to do with the reason why a CD costs 15
dollars at the store.
Actually they do, he wasn't lying, and he has no reason to do so.

not really, you have been doing it on what, 5 dollars a unit or so all
this time.
The whole remainder of this message is just stupid. CDs are shitty
quality? Vinyl is better, are you aware that CDs are 44000, and Vinyl is
a bit more than half of that?
All I know is mr ninja speaks the truth. And if you'd done a little
research before sending your message you would have found that out.
But, I did a little for you.
cdman.com - a cd manufacturer.
500 CDs, jewel cases, 2 page booklet and a tray card. $889. That
doesn't include the films for the booklets, studio time, postage,
promotion or advertising. But I think you get the point. It's not
cheap. Most labels are justified in the prices they charge.
I go now.
