TED are probably going by the price of UK cds, which are always inflated 
because of the intrenched domestic price fixing scheme.  Double cds in the 
US generallly go around $29, but considering that the consumer has to 
provide the cd and the burner and the labor to edit it, I agree that the 
download seems overpriced.  Still, Pete gave away a free cd worth of songs 
last summer, so I don't know if anybody can complain too much on this one.

All the objection to the mp3s is curious.  A little while back mp3s were 
just the bees knees, and now they're totally passe.  All those mp3 players 
that everybody bought should be obsolete within hours.
