Instruments, kitting out a studio, staffing it with talented 
professionals, paying their wages while they edit the music down, mix 
it, work with the artist(s) to make it sound right. The guys who send 
the mixdown to the fab where the CDs get pressed. The graphic artists 
who design the cover. The PR people who promote the thing once it's on 
the shelves.

The actual CD might cost peanuts to press, but getting to the point 
where you have a professional-grade recording to make a CD out of isn't 
cheap. (Have you *seen* how much money they want for high-quality 
microphones?!)
