Meanwhile,  three-quarters of music fans say compact discs are too

The problem here for OKOM and ALL jazz groups, especially big bands, is  that 
the customer doesn't realize what the costs are to put out a CD.  They  only 
look at the price on the product and don't consider what went into  it.  Such 
as:
Recording/Studio
Musicians
Art work
CD pressing
CD cases
Etc.......................
Most of us (again especially big bands) never recoup all the costs of  
recording, even selling CD's at $15 each.
