I thought this was kinda' interesting because you can put up to 12 books on one CD, but I'd like to also know what the drawbacks are (other than having to print out the songs). You can get 3 books on CD for the price of one hard copy book.

I thought it looked like a pretty good idea, myself. Most folks have no need for a majority of all the songs in there. For respect to bulky amounts of paper, the CD thing is the way to go I think!

I guess a downside is you really have to plan your group rehearsals and print everything in advance, or have a computer and printer available to print whatever charts you need.

Outside of these possible "browse" limitations, this seems like a good idea.
