Cds

["samba -" <sambacomet@hotmail.com>]

I've was told by a very prominent ethnomusicologist who I met at Lou 
Harrison's house that tape is still the prefered media for archival 
storage.
Cds are cool,but poorly designed,Putting the data on the bottom is just 
plain stupid.It seems someone believed they wouldn't scratch.I've seen cd 
condoms for sale-probably a good idea.And why don't they store data on 
both 
sides? couldn't sell as many units?
   I really like the idea of giving away music.I also like getting paid 
for 
my creative efforts.Don't see any reason I can't do a bit of each. In 
general the prices for mass distribution cds,compared to production costs 
are. obscene,esp for imports of ethnic stuff where the artists get 
practically nothing.So I like the idea of selling cds for low prices.Too 
low 
and people think they must not be any good,so optimal pricing would be 
less 
than commercial standard.
