MP3 prices going up

The recording industry sure knows how to ruin a good thing

Will consumers determine iTunes prices? | Digital Media - CNET News (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10214134-93.html)

Wow. I read this in an article a friend sent me but it's still weird.

I buy from Amazon and it seems they've followed suite. I only buy whole albums so I'm a happy camper if the price of albums stay under $10 which they are.

I like Amazon too

All the Applie groupies with iPods are still buying it seems. I'm not sure what it takes to piss these people off or if that's even possible.

Never bought an MP3 and never will. I hate the idea of not being able to physically hold it and the potential for losing a HD and all that money paid for the lost music.

I dont buy many MP3's, but cant you re-DL since the MP3 is bound to your account? Or am I totally off base here?

All you need is a backup drive. Externals are pretty cheap these days. Plus you can always just pull them back off your ipod.

True, but I don't feel like wasting money on it, like I said, if I pay for a CD, I want to hold it. I build PCs but with music, I'm a bit old-fashioned I guess.

I used to feel the same way but there's something pretty cool about being able to carry around my entire music collection in my pocket. Plus it's nice to have the extra space in my house that was previously cluttered up with hundreds of CD cases.
