Ebay to Apple Customers like to get deals.
I love the Wall Street Journal and one day I maybe to link to the articles I read in it. On 5/2/06 on page A12 bottom right is a little statement that says the Financial Times reported that Apple may a deal with Vivendi Universal, Warner Music Group, EMI Group, Sony and Bertelsmann on maintaining the price of 99 cents per download.
According to the Finacial Times the pressure was on for more flexible pricing. I am not sure if Apple was being market driven for its pricing model or not.
I do know that most of my preferences in music are so unpopular I pay the premium for the infrequent use of downloads.
It will be interesting to see if Napster and some of the others turn around and start a price war.
