ok, here's the Saundart story... i'm a poor student (blah blah you've heard it all before) with a bad old = CDR-writer. every record i burn is done at home at the slowest speed (at = 2x speed say 99% of all records get half-burned due to some error flush = thing - at 1x speed only like 25% gets fucked up). anyway, i try to get = as much music as possible onto every CDR (ie all albums) and for those i = charge 12 USD which is the pricing i was told was common for CDR labels = by an IDM listee(!) since i didn't have any clue what to charge. i think = it's sort of fair to pay an amount like that for a CDR release, 'cause = compared to the pricing of regular CDs at record stores this price is = almost 5/8 of those prices (here in Sweden that is). and getting the = stuff over to the US and the rest of the world does cost some amount of = money, and to include this in the 12 USD price would be like me putting = out 2$ for a CDR (swedish pricing again), 5$ for the p&p and what is = left is 5$ for me, and that is not thinking of all wrecked discs due to = this CDR-writer of mine. sorry but this equation doesn't really work for = me as i hardly have the cash to buy the CDRs to burn and sell in the = first place. i just hope this first batch of orders comes through... = then we'll see what happens. also, the Saundart stuff is limited just because i think that 100X is = enough (for me, my time and my sad old CDR-writer) and i can't even = imagine all copies ever being sold out. (enough ranting for a week) bauri
