I agree with Steve Jobs. The record companies see a good thing and would like to (greedily) push the price as far as it can go. As to some songs being worth more than others, isn't popularity what would make a song "worth more" by record company standards? Wouldn't this issue work itself out by the number of downloads? The more worthy songs get downloaded more, thereby generating more revenue for all concerned. Perhaps the record company execs should think back to a few years ago when they were having trouble selling music.
