Are you volunteering to do the production if someone provides you a tape?
Do you have the bandwidth to

Space is not a problem, IMO. It just has to be planned for. Logistics do
need to be considered. The material would be a month old when posted. We
only sell about 20 CD's a month and have nothing in place to handle
increasing production or mailing CD's.

I'll leave the details to you.
