Calling all ITunes users- jami mcClain
A buck twenty-nine that’s right. ITunes has decided to raise the prices of their songs in March of ’09. They will raise the prices of their newer songs, and their high definition songs. Also, get this if you want your old songs that you already spent a dollar on (.99) you could pay ten more cents to make it a higher definition what a “bargain.” They did manage to do some good things though. They will lower the prices on their older songs. Some of their old songs will be priced .69 cents. Not all the songs will drop or go up in price some will stay the regular .99. People with mp3 player will now be able to use ITunes to. You won’t have to have an IPod.
This is ridiculous because it’s already enough to pay a dollar just to buy a song. Now people might have to spend as high as a dollar twenty-nine. ITunes already makes a lot of money off their products. The money people will spend on these things will start to add up. Next ITunes could decide to raise the prices on their videos, movies, games, or rentals. People won’t want to spend 387 dollars when if it was .99 cents they could spend 297 dollars. You can buy almost 90 more songs with the difference. The change in ITunes could make buying songs illegally go up some ITunes users won’t want to spend the extra money. If a CD comes out that you like. You Are not going to pay a dollar twenty-nine for the seven songs you like on the album. You might as well go bu7 the whole CD.
ITunes will either suffer from this or just make more money. It probably won’t hurt them. At least you can go, and buy older songs that you never listen to anymore. On the other hand, you now can get your favorite songs from the artists you enjoyed when you were little like the old Brittney spears, backstreet boys. So ITunes music buyers you better hurry up, and buy your songs now!
