A little question for all of you who live in USA, how much does a cd cost?
If you go to a music store, and buy an album like... Ten, how much does it cost? and what about singles, double albums, and box sets?
Thanks

    Cd's usually cost around $16 unless it's onsale- usually Best Buy has new CDs int he first week for about $10

    I haven't bought a single in awhile, but I'd say around $5

    if you go onto any stores website you can probably search for any cd and they will tell you how much their store is selling it for

    CD's usually go for between $10-15. Singles usually run between $3-5. Double albums can run between $15-25 depending on the artist and how long it's been out. Box sets are tricky. I bought the Nirvana box set brand new when it first came out and paid $40. a few years ago I bought the Led Zeppelin studio recordings box set and it set me back $120. So it is a broad range for box sets. hope this helped.

    I buy most of my CDs from amazon.com or eBay. Way cheaper!

    It really is, especially if you take advantage of the free shipping option. I try to buy at my local independent stores though. If it's just a matter of a few bucks, it's worth it to me. :)

    You pay that much prolly because your dollar is worth a hell of a lot more then ours right now!

    No, actually it's the opposite. The aussie dollar has dropped considerably in the last 3 months against the US dollar. It was at 92c to the dollar when i went home in August, and i heard it's in the 60's now?

    I believe I bought Ten for (ironically) around $10, although most of mine are $12 or $13. I shop mainly at Best Buy, since there aren't many record stores close to me.
