of course, that will not change anything, because record producers and sound engineers do know very well how to do things...
to make the max amount of money.

another thing: the first cd's i bought in 1984 sold for $25.;
a couple of years later, there were many more cd manufacturing plants around the world, and the prices went down to around $12-15.
now the producers say that sales have gone way down. maybe one of the reasons is the fact that prices have gone up since then.

i refuse to pay $25. for a cd or a dvd/blu-ray.
if they want to increase sales and make more profits, they could drop the prices...it's very easy.
