If it was more profitable, EMI probably wouldn't have fought Pink Floyd's decision to sell their music as complete albums only. My guess is selling individual tracks is more profitable, because a) cost per track is usually higher when purchased separately and b) only allowing complete album downloads likely results in lost sales from those who are only willing to pay for a single track. Pink Floyd apparently has enough money and doesn't really have to worry about this, and is primarily concerned with the artistic aspect.
