In general, tiering probably won't be a good idea because price increases would drive people away even more, but it would be wise for them to apply some consideratios to their pricing. It doesn't make sense to have a cd such as The Tain (which consists of one 18 minute track) selling for $6, and then be able to buy it "individually" for the regular $.99. No one is going to buy it as an album, so they should have it as $.99 period (since it also wouldn't make sense to charge more than $.99 for one song, even if it is long)
I've seen some other similar discrepencies as well. I can imagine the pricing owuld be complex, as short albums often cost as much as if not more than long ones, but to sell songs alone for a set price, it should be based accoringly. But then, it's also aggrivating to have the only tracks for sale by album only, when you only want those couple of tracks and can't afford the rest. I understand the theory, but it's quite aggrivating. |
