If you buy a CD through BMG or Columbia and wait for the 1.99 special each year, you end up paying $4.48 per CD with shipping ($2.49 per CD). So for the same 16 songs, you pay 28 cents per song. Hmmmm... Pay 99 cents and I don't get a backup of the media to replace a lost track, or pay 28 cents and get media. Apple's distribution channel shouldn't cost them 70+ cents more than BMG/Columbia.



Hmm. Don't you still have to buy the one or two CD's at full (high) price to satisfy the membership agreement? Take the sale prices and the required purchases, add them together and average them, and you end up with a reasonable store price. Might as well go to a real store where you might find what you want on sale.


This is where is starts to get subjective. What is a good track?



The good tracks are the tracks that you like. So simple it's complicated. 8^)
