This is a logical next step for the music industry - give the customers even less at a greater cost. We have been paying $15 per cd (too much) now we'll be charged 99 cents per track for inferior quality recordings and the industry can run to the bank with the money they save on pressings, packaging and distribution. The only thing that is hard for me to understand out is why the industry is having trouble figuring out why sales are decreasing.

It's just 200,000 compressed songs now, and apparently only accessible to us Mac users (who deserve it, of course), but a Windows application, a bump in bandwidth that allows better quality downloads, and a steadily growing selection, and this could be the medium of the future. Once Microsoft steals the idea, of course.
