There are services online where you can upload your finished product, then folks can go there and purchase copies of the cd when they want them. This would allow folks who want to distribute audio cds to purchase them (it's like a dollar per disk, and you don't need to worry about burning it yourself in that case) and the discs are then mailed out to whoever orders them. This would be a nice alternative for folks who don't want to spend 10 minutes making an audio cd themselves for the few cents a cd-r would cost.
