Songs are variable and therefore variable pricing is good...has an Animal Farm type of meter...I like that.
I understand the concept of 'flexible' pricing...and also get that the labels/artists may gravitate toward a higher price for new and/or popular releases. I'm not saying it's bad per se, only that I would rather see a fixed price model as Apple has advocated and lobbied for from the labels over the years. It's primarily a consistency thing. My point is, if you can get a 256K unprotected file from Amazon for $.99 but have to pay $1.29 on iTunes, will that fly? Will some folks pay the extra money for ease of having iTunes manage their library? Probably so. That being said, the existing content that is being migrated, the stuff I have been looking at anyway is iTunes Plus, 256K AAC Purchased (DRM-Free) at $.99 per track. I'm not finding any $1.29 tracks on iTunes as I look through the library, so for now the point may be moot...and we will have to wait for upcoming releases to get a feel for how new content will be priced. -- talbotpat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ talbotpat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22750 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57768 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
