p2pnet news view | Music:- Diogenese Music’s Eric Namour had a wonderful Christmas present — a “stunning box set by French Electro-acoustic composer Bernard Parmegiani, L’Oeuvre Musicale (INA GRM/Abeille Musique)”.

Eric says he looked it up on Amazon and came across an MP3 version going for a mere £15.99.

That’s about $27 Canadian.

Then, “out of curiosity”, he went over to Apple’s iTunes and Lo! —-

—- £109.99.

That’s a little under $185 Canadian.

eMusic “Places itself in the middle by selling it at 97 credits (but if you have a 30 songs a month limit, you must wait 3+ months to get it all without paying overage),” says Eric, adding:

“Clearly it is up to Abeille to look into its box sets pricing strategy …  at least it’s not on Spotify.”

No kidding.

(Cheers, Eric)
