Burn A Song For 99 Cents 433
tusixoh writes "CNN is running an article about an online music company, Listen.com, who has signed deals with Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group allowing users to burn songs from both companies' catalogs (more than 75,000 available tracks) on Listen's Rhapsody music subscription service for 99 cents per track. Until now, Rhapsody had primarily offered only streamed music to subscribers from all of the world's largest record labels as well as several independent labels." The upside of this, of course, is that it won't be necessary to pay for songs that are just "album filler".

Metallica S&M would run over $20 on this.
Metallica's S&M CD is a 2 CD set. It retails for $25.
$ .99 * 21 songs = $20.79
You save $4.21!

Read through this discussion; the reason should be obvious.
I'm sure the conversation in the Development Meeting went something like this:
Suit 1: "What about a version for Linux?"
Suit 2: "Linux? That's the er, free, thing, right?"
Suit 3: "Are you nuts? Those Linux guys wouldn't pay for music if you tied each note up in an individual bow and had Richard Stallman personally deliver it to their homes stark naked on Christmas morning!"
Suit 4: "He's right. I read SlashDot. They won't bite, no matter what. It's the Mac port we need to work on. Those guys'll buy anything; just be sure to make it more expensive than the Windows flavor, and get someone in a goatee to design a new interface in silver."
Suit 1: OK, next order of business...

I use this thing called a "turntable." It's really cool, if a little unweildy, and the music is recorded in the entirely noncontroversial LP3 format.
