Midchuck: My statement that tapes were cheaper than CD's was based on the assumption that you were having the CD's mass-produced, with graphics and everything, by a company that does that kind of thing. I didn't consider making them yourself on your home PC. I don't know anyone who does that.

Also, when you order from a manufacturer, the cost per item varies considerably with the quantity. Last time I checked, tape cassettes were considerably cheaper than CD's in small quantities - up to a thousand or so - but in larger quantities, I think the cost per item falls off more rapidly for CD's than for tapes. I guess you'd have to get some current price quotes to know for sure.
