- I've read that LP's cost more to make than CD's, at least these days.

- >How much are new CDs these days?
-
- As much as $17.99+tax for those silly enough to buy them in stores. As
- low as $7 from Noteworthy.

- In the early 80's, a CD cost $11.99 or $12.99 in a chain store, and this
- price was expensive relative to LP's, but was supposed to go "way down"
- once production ramped up.
-
- Believe it or not, people are still buying cassettes in large quantities.
