That's not really true...
cover art isn't important, and if i buy disks 10 each for my burner they're
only $1.70 a piece (this is of course, for the cheap verbatum disks)...now
you figure a commericial place could do it for half that...$.85 each...that
seems like a pretty good deal to me...and as for unsold cd's...make it like
a subscription thing...if you sign up, they bill it to a cc# and send you
the disk, plain and simple.
