Is 9.99 to much for an mp3 album?

[DaveyDave]

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

exactly!!!! these labels & companies have been fukking over the artist/author/etc for decades if not centuries int he case of books and they want to have a cry over sales in the digital age yet they also want to charge the exact same price for a digital copy of the physical medium while STILL raping the artist for money and in the case of music, trying to fukk them over EVEN MORE!

fukk these c*nts, once it gets to a 70% digital rate i wont understand why any artist would stay signed to any record label.

didnt cd's hit $20 at one point? i paid $12 for illmatic on casette in 94. so where are you guys buying physical shyt for 10?

Can you buy a physical cd, rip it and then sell it to get the overall cost down? I have no idea how the 3rd party cd market is these days...probably not good

Is it even worth all the trouble? I hate having collections tbh...organizing and all that shyt with shelves is not for me

 

[N*E*R*D]

Depends on your ideology of mp3s...I personally have never paid for them. I think buying music comes down to if you want to give credit to the artist for your purchase. If you just looking to support then 10 bucks isn't a lot to pay.

Who cares? we bootleg

You can play 24bit Audio encoded in Apple Lossless (ALAC).

No they dont I tried it before the massive megaupload take down.

I had downloaded Illmatic in 24-bit FLAC (Almost a full gigabit)converted it to Apple Lossless

Played it on itunes it worked.
Put it on my ipod and went to the car.
Didn't play only silence

Alright, cool I'm not crazy. Since I grew up in the digital age I never got into buying CDs like that so I didn't know they went up to 30$. It'd be cool if the money that use to go to distribution and manufacturing went to the artist. fukk the labels!!!

i think its perfect. in the 90s albums were 17 to 23 dollars. with it all being digital an album should be 10 or less for real
