Your options are still better on CD Amazon = £7.98 / Play.com £7.99.

Exercise your options and don't let companies like Apple feel they have you over a barrel...we all lose when you do that. ]]>Apr 7th 2009 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/itunes-store-now-infected-with-variable-pricing-amazon-still-0/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/itunes-store-now-infected-with-variable-pricing-amazon-still-0/http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/5271/picture1zhw.png)

- They tried making every other store DRM-free. No good, people still went for the DRM-ed iTunes. Apparently, none of the "real people" cared, it was all technology people.
- Now they're trying to force iTunes to be more expensive for the most popular songs. People may not understand DRM, but they understand money. If it doesn't work, at least the labels are still making more.]]>Apr 7th 2009 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/itunes-store-now-infected-with-variable-pricing-amazon-still-0/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/itunes-store-now-infected-with-variable-pricing-amazon-still-0/

You don't think that is true? That's been well known for the last few years and is why Amazon has been able to sell DRM-free tracks when Apple weren't, beyond EMI tracks. The recording industry is fed up with not having the power.

One wonders what would happen if Apple were to create their own record label and compete directly with the Big 4.]]>Apr 7th 2009 5:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/itunes-store-now-infected-with-variable-pricing-amazon-still-0/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/itunes-store-now-infected-with-variable-pricing-amazon-still-0/Apple Corps would ream them a new one.]]>Apr 7th 2009 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/itunes-store-now-infected-with-variable-pricing-amazon-still-0/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/itunes-store-now-infected-with-variable-pricing-amazon-still-0/
One wonders why Apple would want to be in such a shitty commoditized business model that shrinks every fucking year when they can sit back and make billions selling iPods and iPhones.

Holy shit, I'm a genius!

Makes you wonder if they are making money at 29p or if this is a lost leader so to speak.

Even though I am a blatent Apple fan boy (iMac / Mac Mini / Iphone / Airport Extreme / Airport Express / In Car ipod 30GB) this would make me switch. I would rather have music truely DRM / Device locking free/

They're both DRM free. iTunes no longer has DRM on it's AAC tracks, mp3 can't actually have DRM protection.
