A cent a listen seems reasonable to me too considering how many times I listen to my favourite albums throughout the day.
While it may not add up to much for small, independent bands, at least they're getting their albums out there to a much larger audience. I know I've discovered bands I wouldn't have bothered to download if it wasn't for these services.

The problem is particularly bad for independent artists as the major labels have worked out deals to get much higher rates per stream.
