If you put 15 of your favorit songs on 1 CD for $0.99 a song you are paying about $15.00 for a CD that you created (including media). But to get all 15 songs at your local Circuit City you might need to buy 15 complete CDs...at an average cost of $12.00. That is a total of $180.00 Using the new method by Apple you could save yourself $165.00. Not to mention $0.99 is pretty cheap compaired to the maximum fine per song downloaded which is $150,000.00 I think!
