| I only like that one song. Another aspect to look at is record labels pushing artists' single songs that are popular, and sometimes even (*gasp*) GOOD. Then the consumer goes and purchases the artist's album and every other song on it are utter pieces of garbage. That is why you have some classic albums put out with a song on it that just doesn't belong. The songs that the label forced the artist to make to sell the cd.
Anyway, my point is: Is it fair to "fool" the consumer into buying a worthless album for $20 for one song that gave a false image of the album?
That's where downloading comes into play. Take iTunes, just for example. I can preview an album and download only those songs that I like for .99. Then, if I do like the whole album, I can get it cheaper than buying the CD at a store.
These are all the right steps in the direction of freeing all of us from bad music and high prices. That's just my opinion though... |
