or can go see yourself. counted, 14 of top 20 songs priced @ $0.99. sold @ $1.29 on itunes.


music retailers pay $0.903 wholesale song , can price accordingly (high mark-up, discount, loss etc...). itunes sell @ $1.29 30% mark-up.

 

well, prefer cds on both. people happy pay more less long marketing tells them it's "the future".
