Sony, the single owner of the CD writing copyright, made a deal early on in the history of compact discs, to establish a price fixing method. the price of CD players would get steadily lower and the price of the actual CD's would never drop, and it has not dropped. however, you can get a portable CD player (shoddy as hell but it plays ) for under $20.00 at a walgreens or a supermarket.
CD's cost almost nothing to make and they ahve kept the price fixed at around $16.00
go to best buy and the "sale" CD's are running at $12-$14
SHIT
I say SHIT!
