CDR aside, CD printing currently runs at about 700UK for 500 CDs. I imagine
it's probably cheaper in the US (maybe $750/500 CDs?)  That way, 10
contributors could contribute $75 and get 50 copies.  This assumes 7
minutes per contributor, on average.

Buy this recording, people.  Trust me.
I may buy one myself - I've nearly worn my tape copy out!
BTW Matthias, wouldn't pensar-se and viajar both fit on one CD?

Well, it's better selling at $25 to someone who's happy to pay it than at
$30 to someone who finds it too expensive.

Woah!  Put me on the list for a copy NOW!!!!

I imagine it would be strange for everybody with EDPs, thinking "this is
the music my Plex was made to make"...
