Yes, pressed CDs are cheap in case of high number pressing for magazines e.g.
(around thousands); I've pressed some photoCD in the past, 200 items for a
total cost of $1600I, the glass mastering is about half of it. Dealing with
audio CD concerning a few people (how many on this list?) it's better to use
CD-R.
Above that, Hotline sites are full of Mp3 files, but never seen HW yet.
