music: digital download pricing
For my fellow music enthusiasts: Here's an interesting article about changes in digital music pricing, prompted by HJ Lim's new recording of Beethoven's piano sonatas, an 8-CD set currently available on iTunes for $9.99.
Given the article's hardcover/paperback analogy, it'd be interesting to compare publishers' ebook pricing strategies with labels' download pricing, but I confess I don't know enough about ebook pricing to do it; I have plenty of ebooks, but they're all classics from Project Gutenberg (♥) or fic downloaded from the AO3. Oh, and a couple of Cory Doctorow novels. Heh.
