STANDARD IEC...

I see a number of artists are starting to advertise their CD's on their own web pages. These are often sold in the 10-15 dollar range. What would it take to set up several burners on a PC? Is there another low capital cost alternative?

One has to buy and burn the CD, print the face and package it. I'm guessing it should be do-able at about a dollar a pop. How much is bulk mailing of such things? Add another dollar for amortising capital (reasonable?). If it all came to $3 and the CD sold for (say) $6, would the artist not get three times as much?

I read in sci.electronics.design that Lturco wrote (in ) about 'STANDARD IEC...', on Tue, 11 Oct 2005:

It's GBP106 in UK if you are not a Subscribing Member of BSI.

You can get English versions of some standards from the Netherlands Standards web site and some others, such as Denmark. You need a table of exchange rates and a good Google session. If a German text will do, the DIN version is often of lower cost than others. Fewer blank pages for artistic effect.

I was quoted a little over $1 per copy by the thousand to have them made in Nashville a couple years ago. That included the jewel case, artwork and label.
