The UK price is not quite so generous - it comes out just above $15. Many of the CDs I buy are classical box sets that can work out at well under $5 per CD, brand new, normally buying from US sellers in Amazon.co.uk's marketplace. I do see this as a step in the right direction, but it is hardly a leap, and will not make me buy anything from iTunes. I still prefer the CD approach where I have a good back-up, lossless with no DRM and sleeve notes to read on the tube home. And it's cheaper. To take Tyler Durden's point further, in ten years someone will start marketing CDs, encouraging people to abandon the traditional download approach for all of those advantages - all for just 25% more than the download price. Bargain!
