We'll have to agree to differ here... it's NOT the medium, but the content.

Now then, if the standard of recording/mixing isn't professional, sell them cheap or give them away as a demo. But if the standard of the content is high, the rewards should reflect this.

I'm afraid that suggesting the cost of producing CD-Rs as opposed to CDs has any bearing on the price of the end result is like suggesting Les Barker's little pamphlets of poems are only worth 25p each...

Think carefully about the implications of this before you jump down my throat!!

Something is WORTH what people will pay for it. It's called 'market forces'.
