If the problem is that their system is so built that you just have one price, then why not just split the mp3 into 2 parts and then sell them both, this would add up to Â£1.58 … I rekon that if someone’s going to spend Â£1.49 then they’re not gonna worry about an extra 10p!!

The music store is profitable you fuckin’ peon. Your loose usage of the term loss leader implies that they’re actually LOSING MONEY..

Learn to spell.

What!? What is this crap? Apple refuses to give special treatment and offer 1.49 song..

This is news?!.. iTunes is about simplicity, ease of use and consistency..

Ask the Band Aid guys to lower it to 99 cents.. see what magically happens.. they get on iTunes

hmmmmm. What does Apple have to say about this? Did they give a reason besides a flat out refusal? There has got to be some reason behind this. Once you start going into corporate politics, I think every company looses its luster, even my beloved Apple

Apple would be smart to keep the song at 99 cents, but still give the people who made it what they want, so apple takes a loss, but then they’ll have the cheepest price out there for it, and maybe somebody’ll download itunes to get that price…

I love Apple Products… lousy company. Obviously not in microsoft’s league. But their refusal to be flexible means that most likley their squander their lead in the digital market. As soon as the iPod looses it’s it factor much like the original mac, people are going to turn to cheaper, possibly less well designed products that give them the freedom to download from any music store. Considering that apple claim to make a loss on the music store and do it simply to bump up sales of the iPod, Surely it would make sense to allow other stores to use their Fairplay?

There is no defense for that. Not even the most outlandish Mac touter can justify that.

Different response from usual. Where are all the Apple-ites springing to its defense?
