Beth-

I would add more songs and make it a full CD.  Then charge up to $15.00

  Subject: [HANASHIR:12731] question about CD


  I am preparing to produce my first CD. It contains nine songs on it, seven of 
which are original Jewish folk settings of liturgical texts. I am doing the 
artwork/layout myself and seeking to duplicate the CD for as little as possible 
to make my music affordable and accessible.
  Question is, how much should I charge for a CD? I see CDs with 20 or more 
songs on them going for a wide range of prices (10 to 25 dollars). I plan on 
selling my CDs through an online source as well as at live gigs. I want to find 
the right balance between my talent and sweat, and affordability for the 
listener.
  Those of you who've done it already: How did you figure out a selling price? 
What factors did you take into account? Helpful responses appreciated. 
  Thanks much --Beth
