DISQUS

Exclusivity will not be what saves the music industry. It will only drive their fans further underground where I assure you these albums are available. Instead of trying to ripoff fans by overcharging for proprietary content, they should be supporting the services that we already use and at a reasonable price. $16 an album worked when they controlled distribution and was able to fix prices, but with so much great undiscovered music and so many places to get it, there is no way I'm paying $16 to a studio, when I can buy my music directly from the artist and have them get the lionshare of the profits. LostTunes will turn out to be an appropriate name for their service, because fans will never end up finding this music.

Shops from individual record labels are a waste of time. Sure the pricing is crap BUT! This is the internet at it's best. Finding obscure stuff, finally having the chance to get it. I've been on this site for the last half hour! When was the last time you spent that long on a website. I'm older than I want to be and totally addicted :)

I'm wondering if these mp's are laced with DRM. If that is so this is doomed and unicversal is being ****ing stupid. down at the bottom on the left hand column it says download to up to 3 of your computers. Idiots! Next please.

@ dc crowley

I'm pretty sure there is no DRM since they play on iPods, and mp3s don't have DRM built-in. I think what they mean is the site allows for each track to be downloaded 3 times. Maybe. :-)
