If I were to purchase a CD; which now days is very rare; I have to go
through
the trouble of getting dressed; fighting with traffic; search endlessly
amongst
the wrongly alphabetized CD section; stand in line; and purchase an
entire CD
for maybe just a few songs that I find decent.
With the download era we live in today; why are CD's still
so costly? At 99 cents a song as the about average cost for most downloading
sites; it's a mystery as to how and why CD companies still maintain high rates?

The beauty of downloading music is I can skip all the hassle and simply search
and purchase. Transaction complete; and much cheaper than if I were to waste
gas, time, and money all for one song.
With downloads more popular than ever; I still can't fathom why CD's aren't
sold at the low price of $5.00. I don't think it's logical to spend more than
that. It's simply too expensive and much too much of a hassle.
If you are stuck with purchasing a cd; easy solution.....used CD. Typically;
you can find a CD listed on Amazon for somewhere near $1.00. Yes; you have to
pay shipping so ultimately you come out at about $5.00 but still; that's more
reasonable than buying the same tracks new and getting ripped off.
If only CD companies thought a little bit more about the consumer and a little
less about their profits. As cassette tape goes; CD's will go as well.
