iTunes Higher-Quality Albums Won’t Cost Extra

Filed under: voip - 03 Apr 2007 14:41

Something that Steve Jobs specifically stated in his speech that was broadcast on the latest MacBreak Weekly: when the higher-quality DRM-free music comes around, album prices won’t change. Sure, higher-quality DRM-free singles are going to cost $1.29, but album prices won’t change. So for Smarfy and Tedly who are a little concerned about raising prices: as long as you buy albums, your cost won’t increase.

    I did a CTRL+F on “album” in the transcript of Job’s talk. Couldn’t find that he said DRM-free albums will still be cheaper. Did I miss it?

    You are totally right. I listened to the press conference and according to Steve Jobs, singles will be $1.29 but the album prices will be whatever they would be today (for the EMI catalog and hopefully other labels in the future). Hmmm…maybe the format of the “album” won’t die after all…
