Yeah, but that's part of the cost of doing an online mp3 catalog of your
past releases, so it's not really extra money. Especially as it's
one-time -- once you have the mp3's and 2 backups, that's it. Bandwidth
costs are a constant accruance.

Yeah, but how cheap is that? my 400+ CDs only take up 25 gigs, which is
nothing in the half-terrabyte my girlfriend and I share between our
various computers. And it's on teeny harddrives, the size of 2, maybe 3
cds. Compared to the cd tower and the wood rack that the cds are on now?
Size and space is cheap now, in the scheme of things.
