Is 9.99 to much for an mp3 album?

Way too much. CD casing and disc used to be about $7-8 dollars of a CDs cost when CDs were 12-15 dollars. Take that away and what are you really paying for? What's the company charging you for? It looks like a deal for $10 for the whole album when each song would cost you 99 cents apiece.

10 dollars is too much

if an artists is seeing 1-2 dollars out of that 10, where is the rest going if theyre not physically distributing anything?

that's the problem, labels are trying harder than ever to fukk the artists out of even more money now when they don't even have to pay for distribution & all that shyt. like dude said, if i knew more money was going to the artist then i'd be down for it but other than that fukk the labels.

$10 is fine ... Buying albums in the late 90's for 16.99 was absurd back then while I was still in high school

Yea, its ridiculous. Same with these e-books.

These companies now have much lower overhead and are still charging the same price for content..........FOH.

Sh1t is a gaffle

Since they feel comfortable gyping their customers i got no issues with nikkas who choose to download that sh1t for free
