Thank you all for the vast array of answers, ranging from perfectly
intelligent in content, to flame.  My question wasn't an attack.  It was
just a legitimate concern.  I know nobody's going to give away free CDs.  I
also know there are things such as advertising, etc. involved.  I had only
wondered why such a high price on a convenience item, and you all answered
my question rather thoroughly.  I don't think this warranted a response such
as:

<<you are stupid. its costs money to ship things
and they have to make money to survive.
also cds cost money too..>>

Thank you for the quick answer, and Merry Christmas.
