Summary: 

The commodity you are paying for is not the plastic the
disks are composed of, it's the efforts of composer and
performer.  If you pay more money for more music, what
difference does it make how many disks it fills?

I heard that Grolier's Academic American encyclopedia
fits on one disk (uses ~40 Mb?).  They charge about $200
for that!
