Digital distribution costs probably one percent or less what it costs to distribute a physical item.

    Absence of Aussie iTMS a warning?
  • I completely agree. I think $0.99 is a very reasonable price for one song, especially when there's no real distribution costs involved (at least not anywhere near the millions required for recording, mastering, reproducing and distributing CDs). The record companies are still out to screw over the listening public because they just don't get it. They're going to eventually price themselves right out of the market, and musicians will bail and use other distro methods.

  • The feature I'd like to see is being able to tab between buttons (in dialog windows, in Safari, etc.). Keyboard shortcuts for these buttons would be nice, too.
