I suppose, but how keen are you on paying extortionate prices? My
point is with significantly lower overheads, downloads should cost
less. At $1.30 per track, majors are laughing all the way to the bank.


I smoke cigars that cost $10. $1.30 for a really good song is a
bargain, IMO.

The increased quality plus the lack of DRM makes me MUCH more likely
to download music. I was kind of ticked-off when I first tried
itunes, and quickly learned that I could not play the song that I just
payed-for on another PC (withoug jumping through hoops). Plus,
128kb/s is quite lame.

I think this is a great step foward.
