The industry will see more independent
labels releasing artists only electronically, because they do not have to
pay for the cd production which is a major cost in the process. Downloaded
songs will come down in price. Probably to the .20 to .30 cent range.

FYI, CD's don't cost that much to copy for retail sale.

Here is a website that shows the cost of CD's to be from $0.99 to $0.49
each, when ordered in bulk.
