the 256kbs bitrate is exciting too. I could never imagine paying $1 for a DRM'd 128kbps song. I would think if you want people to pay for something when the competition is "free" then you better at least make sure the product is just as good. This is good. |

It was already legal, but I'm sure you knew that. |

Hialeah, FL | I think the point is, before the options were reasonable OR legal, now we have something that is both reasonable AND legal.

Considering most of the music I like is old and unpopular, I expect to be paying less for more.
All I've got to say is if teenage girls start listening to Steely Dan and Oingo Boingo, I may have to get Medieval on someone quick....

What you consider unpopular more then likely is someone else's favorite music.
I listen to Classical & Symphonic music and have always paid dirt cheap prices only because others deem it unpopular.
IMO the price across the board should be a fixed rate of say .50¢ per song.

Question is now will they begin inching up the pricing. To me even $1.29 seems pretty high for an .mp3 |

Now that Apple has agreed to this pricing scheme expect it to become the norm in all of the online music stores in the near future. |

That's about $2.50 in today money. |

1 edit | As I said across the board as in one set price.
Not .39 here and a buck and change there.
I really do not care if it is a dime or a buck something per song just level the playing field IMO.

What they charge for a song is what I pay for an album... One song? 18¢... DRM free and high variable bitrate.

Interesting theory. I wonder how people justified buying records and cassette tapes. |
