LOL..funny, 20% off, and 40% specific titles from HDT a month after Pono launched. HMMmmmmmmmm.
we'll start seeing prices come down w/o having to use sales and coupons (especially 'cuz HDT quit sending me coupons/newsletters and never replied to my request to be added back into their system).
Hey Pono/HDT, what do you say to $8-10 for 16/44 and $10-12 for 24/88-96? I'd buy a lot more music at those prices (try new artists and re-purchase stuff I already have at 16/44).
I agree 100% with your pricing scheme.
However, yet AGAIN we go back to the rotten apple that is iTunes, where lossy albums are priced at 8-13 dollars.
but, as I understand it, the labels sold the files to Apple in full (CD) resolution and *Apple* threw out the "extra" bits. I see no reason whatsoever that Pono, HDT, et al. should charge *more* for 16/44 than Apple charges for mp3.
I do NOT know this for sure, but I was under the impression iTunes did not do any conversions, meaning they receive "mastered for iTunes" files already in AAC, and not the master files.
If somebody knows for sure that would interesting.
Say what you want about apple, but the fact hey convinced people to pay 10-12 bucks for lossy slop is skillful marketing.
In the end it is not who did what, not even who payed whom to do what. In the end it's what's in the contract, since this is all intellectual property rights, not material goods.
