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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

That was in fact the only great anouncement from this macworld expo, the rest was just to fill time.

Actually the Bible never specifies it, it simply says a fruit, the apple idea comes from popular culture

Zunes are amazing. There's so much you can do with them that you can't do on a regular IPod, excluding the new IPhones and Touches.
But even for those you must pay for most apps. You get updates on Zunes for free.
Plus, I got my 80 GB for less than $250. Not bad, if you ask me.
Oh, and it just so happens that I persuaded the majority of my friends to get Zunes. So, I do have people to share music with, thank you.
