Oh, I totally agree with Erica!  I went to Media Play to buy the
reissue of Willie Nelson's "Red-headed Stranger" for my dad's birthday,
and it was $14.99--I ended up ordering it from Amazon for $8.38 which,
even adding shipping ($3.00), is STILL cheaper than the store!!!  AND
Amazon shipped it directly to my dad.

Given the fact that it costs less than a buck to actually MANUFACTURE a
CD (including packaging and jewel case), I find it difficult to believe
that $15-$20 apiece is "rock bottom".  The retail stores better wise up
here--like a lot of other businesses, their competition these days
ISN'T other stores, but the Internet.
