Re: All My CDs Marked down to $5.00

Yes, but I'd bet the amount of CD's that are trashed everyday in this "throw away society" we live in is staggering and I'm on the side of anything that cuts waste.

It is a tough call, and pretty much based on one's personal values on the matter....BUT, for me, the gist is that I never want to generate a situation as an artist when someone can't own one of my CDs simply because they can't afford it, or because they have too many other CDs on their list and mine isn't the the highest priority. I'd rather give my CDs away or mark them down to CD Baby's cost, then not have folks listening to my music. And, believe it or not, I am of the generation who still enjoys owning and having a physical CD. When I produce a CD, the artwork on the sleeves is just as much a part of the production as the music. It all fits together into a theme. I like for people to have my physical CDs, not just the MP3s and digital art. If they don't they are missing a significant element of the production.
