I want a refund, or exchange for CD for all the tapes I purchased (and still have). They were charging me over $10 per cassette for a VERY temporary meduim. The industry loved that. I had to buy my favorite tape over and over. If I wanted to archive the original, I had to make a crappy tape to tape dub. Because "home taping" was going to ruin the music business, I had to pay a fee for every blank tape I purchased, even if I only wanted to record my own bodily noises. I am loving the slow, painfull, and ugly demise of the greedy whining giant. Please take all your "music" and go...at least all the music you generate now. Good ridance. I agree.

Ok, if you are going to set prices by age, where's the price reduction for 30 year old songs that are no longer in the limelight and have faded long ago? They aren't new, they haven't had a revivial in popularity, in many cases those groups will never come to play a concert as many are no longer in existance and some have members of the group that are dead. It seems the predominate releases are by the group "Greatest Hits" whose versitiality amazes me that they can sound just like the originals and yet churn out album after album, year after year. All of those remix albums charge just like the original for price. How long does it take to purchase those groups songs you are interested in? It seems that 30 years is far long enough for one to aquire those songs that have meaning in ones life. After that they are just fluff and come on. Funny that I haven't seen a price decrease across the board for the ancient stuff. Now a days in the "what have you done for me today" world where the premium is layed on the current hot stuff; the corrosponding part would be a lowering in price of old stuff. Can anyone say price fixing? Quote:
