If an entire CD minus one song is crap, then it's probably just all crap. For the few artists that do have only one gem, they shouldn't have to sell that for 99

If an entire CD minus one song is crap, then it's probably just all crap. For the few artists that do have only one gem, they shouldn't have to sell that for 99 cents. I'm all for what's going on here.
- stephenr 12y agoThey allow radio stations to play one track at a time individually, so I call bullshit on the "this needs to be heard together" line If the other songs on the album are good, letting someone buy individual tracks means more potential customers for that other track.
- slantyyz 12y agoBut the point is, the seller can sell in whatever way he likes. I'm sure most of them can do math and realize they'll lose sales by not selling singles. While I get that people are very attached to music, I don't really get why people care so much about being able to buy a single from an artist who doesn't want to sell it to them that way (which is distinct from a label not wanting to sell music that way against the wishes of the artists). Just to be clear, I buy mostly singles in the era of the ITMS, but if some artists don't want my money, then I don't give it to them. There are already plenty of other great songs out there by people who will gladly sell me their songs as singles. Missing out on a few songs in my daily playlist is far from being the end of the world.
