Re: Same here
I know exactly where you're coming from. Remember early video tapes? Movies were $70 or more. That's crazy. People recorded them off cable. Now a DVD is $10-$25. We have a large collection. Because that is a fair price. $70 is not. Same for CD's. Rather than lower the price to spur more sales, they blame the technology.
You're right about the cd's contain usually just a couple of good songs. Why pay top dollar for 2 songs I'd listen to? How about a service to pay $1 per song, to have it burned to a CD and shipped to the consumer? Most CD's hold 12-17 songs, guess what, same price! Even better? Charge 50 cents per song and we download them and burn them ourselves? I'd probably pay that, to have a reliable, legitimate download with high quality. And what's the production costs to the record company? Next to nothing. Once it's in digital form, it can be downloaded thousands of times. Now there's a revenue stream I wouldn't mind having! Very low cost to produce, almost infinite income potential! |
