I'll buy Apple tracks for 10 cents a piece or subscribe to a service like Spotify when it is available in Canada. The record labels can suck on it. |
Artists also want to sell us more tracks! Without the artists....

Yes .... It's the artists' tracks we buy. A service like Spotify will pay royalties to artists as will Apple. We don't need the record labels and neither do the artists.

Here's something I'm curious about: Are the royalties the same if you use the "Buy Album" option from iTunes? Or are royalties more of a single song-specific type thing?

Yes, but nobody knows the question - that's what's troubling.

CDs are done. They're joining their ancestors, the eight-tracks and cassettes. Didn't you get the memo? Seriously, don't waste your time and money on physical media. It will be unusable in less than 5 years. And don't tell me it's because they offer better quality sound. Beta was better than VHS! |
Apparently YOU didn't get the memo that even vinyl isn't dead - just relegated to the back of the bus.
With the millions upon millions of CD players out there and many people still desiring a physical backup for their musical libraries, I think it'll be a lot longer than 5 years before the CD dies. A CD is like a miniature record...a flash drive just can't capture the feeling of holding one in your hands, plus the liner notes on flash drives are really tiny.
