so, i've settled on getting one of those epsons tomorrow.
i could have gotten a cheaper canon for $40, but it didn't have a scanner and if i'm going to get a device like this it really ought to have one. i literally have no use for a fax, but the scanner is worth a few dollars. there's also the new factor.
now that i have a better understanding of costs, i've revised prices and added a few new aleph-numbers.
not the work i had in mind when i promised, granted, but it took some time to do.
====================
format / digital / physical:
single / $1.25 / $5
ep / $2.50 / $7
record / $5 / $10
double / $10 / $20
7.5 hour dvd-audio compilations: $50
13.5 hour flac compilation discs: $100
30 hour mp3 compilation discs: $200
note that flac is higher quality than mp3.
therefore, mp3 discs contain more music.
be sure to purchase what you WANT.
shipping:
$2 - can
$5 - us
$10 - intl
shipping rates are flat to the max, meaning i may gain slightly but i won't lose on shipping. it's otherwise about $3 to make a package. 20% of the sale price goes to transaction fees. this is as cheap as it can be while still being worthwhile to produce.
