for a while now artists have been complaining about music being sold by songs on their own instead of in full albums online with most criticism pointed at iTunes. granted i am an open apple fanboy but this must not be construed as such. this is the artists/labels/etc taking out their frustrations with consumers and the change in the marketplace in the wrong way. napster was the first to show that if people are interested only in the hot jam single they are going to go out and procure that as such. the same went for 7″ singles back in the day, tho they did give you the option of flipping it over and hearing another cut to try and get you to go buy the LP. the music industry is in a werid spot. they have begun pressing vinyl again to give consumers a more substantial connection to the music, yet they are testing out making music available on SD cards? thats just stupid and a waste of time, and resources. at this point the industry really needs to examine how consumers want to consume music and begin to figure out ways to satisfy demand or other services will come along and further the consumer from the industry and artists.
