Hi, In addition to the issues John mentioned below there would be a lot of wear and tear on the CD burner as well. CD and DVD burners are well known to give up the ghost after heavy use. They are alright for the occasional data, music, and video disc, but pumping out hundreds of discs would put a lot of wear and tear on the burner which means the cost of distributing audio discs would have to take in account maintenance of the person's equipment.
