I just finally saw the movie The Departed. My wife is Irish... so the opening song spoke to her (Irish/Punk... pretty cool)... I didnt' get turned on by the whole album, so I bought two singles.... If they only offered the whole album, I may have considered it.. but they offered singles, so I bought. Seriously people... $2 is too much? (i actually spent like 50 on music last month).
now as far as the single vs album business model. I don't know how I will react until they change. For now, I have the option of the single, so I do that when I don't want an entire album. Honestly, since they didn't have to press a CD and cover art for me, they probably made $1.50 off of me and iTunes the other .50 for processing it. Not a bad profit margin I assume when there is no major overhead for materials.
