You don't mind paying .99 cents for an iTunes song. It seemed like a reasonable price. There is a new number to get used to. Try $1.29. That's a 30% increase!I am sure Apple spent a lot of money on market research to come up with the new number. Apple hasn't announced the April 7 date for the price hike, but it has been telling record labels about the change.
Let the outrage begin. One blog suggested you can find better deals on amazon.com. Like this 5 MP3 Albums for $5 each.

As I understand it, some songs will be available for $0.79 too, making three price points for songs: $0.79, $0.99, & $1.29. I'm not sure if a song will cycle through all the price points with, say, its popularity or age.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Perhaps as little as $.69. So maybe the 'iripoff' headline is unfair. Here is the link with 69 cents.

Let the newest songs go for $1.29 and I'll keep buying my favorites from the oldie but goodie rack for $.69... ALL of it with no DRM
