However, Apple is revising is pricing structure. All songs will no longer be $0.99. Under the new pricing structure some will be $0.69, others $1.29. Ouch to whose ever songs are $0.69. That pretty much will mean you are lame.

itunes store sucks. Buy DRM free from amazon.
-
That was in fact the only great anouncement from this macworld expo, the rest was just to fill time.
-
Ooer, don't know how i feel about this staggered pricing ... I don't buy from iTunes but I think it's kind of cool that all music is sort of considered equal in the eyes of iTunes
-
Now if only iTunes would start selling music in South Africa.
-
What message is that projecting to the artists who were willing to jump on the Itunes bandwagon anyway? You are only worth 69 cents while Johnny's song is worth more.

The 69 cent songs are probably artists who require less in return. It will be nice getting older and less popular tunes for cheaper, I'm not complaining.

There are other services like amazon unbox that offer drm free music. What I want to see is drm free video downloads.

yay now i can finally use itunes

At first I was put off by the price discrepancy, but now I see it as a possible positive marketing tool for newer and upcoming musicians trying to get their name out there. Consumers may be less likely to buy a current no-name for the same price as that Beyonce hit or whatever. Now the lesser known folks will have tunes available for half the price of popular songs, therefore enticing people with the idea of buying twice as many songs.
-
This is awesome news! The restrictions are such a pain in the ass...
-
For years the music companies took anywhere from 94 to 91 cents of every dollar made on a record, and gave the rest to the artist, who thought of, wrote and performed the music...and now THEY claim ripoff?
payback's a bitch!
