In order to Give away those million copies.. a million must download the Music App... maybe there should be a music app chart.

Imagine I came up with a device that could copy & reformat every video game in the world. Then I say to the Game makers "Hey, people are using my device to steal so you might as well sell through me.. and BTW im taking 30%" Music saved Apple & Little Itunes money they make PALES in comparison to what they get for Hardware sales However If Itunes Connect works.. Its the Ultimate payback

I Bought the Audiobook .. Go get Yours http://amzn.to/m362u5

I see this as sort of a " Path to Citizenship " . You can keep all the stuff you bootlegged & we'll make you legal , for $24.99 a yr It's sort of payback to the labels and publishers for all they have " lost "

Lets say if you sell 100 ITunes Downloads in 2 years ITunes maybe 0.70 a song TuneCore $49.99*2 Yrs = $99.98 CDBaby $39.99 Flat = $39.99 TuneCore .70 * 100 = $70 CD Baby .70 - .07(9 Pct) = .63 * 100 = $63 TuneCore $70 - $99.98 = Lost $29.02 CDBaby $63 - $39.99 = Made $23.01 What if you sell 1000 songs? TuneCore .70 * 1,000 = $700 CD Baby .70 - .07(9 Pct) = .63 * 1,000 = $630 TuneCore $700 - $99.98 = Made $600.02 CDBaby $630 - $39.99 = Made $590.01 If you think that you're only gonna sell 100 songs then go to CDBaby. 1000 songs? go to Tunecore. I know its not THAT simple but, do what is better for your bottom line. Either way get back to work doing what you love

THIS is why we still need Suge Knight

I think the CLOUD thing is getting a bit " HYPISH " Its cool but not THAT cool. Anyone think the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act can be used to get Amazon to pay up?

Pardon me, but I dont do the Internet Gangsta thing & I Dont hide my name & Face in anonimity just to get away with comments I would never repeat in public. I also dont have to quantify my personal views to anyone or tell them to stfu. Its pedestrian and not welcome in a forum that fosters intelligent free expression. I also question your motives as I see other comments up here that really say horrible things about Rihanna and her artistry whereas I dont disparage her at all and compare her to other great singers that I enjoy.

Rihanna makes cute songs & Id go to a club to see her because she's Hot ....but she's not a Phenomenon like say BEYONCE .. who can do it All She's kind of like Fantasia, Keyshia Cole, Monica

Great . so now people can upload their bootlegged songs to the CLOUD. Lets call it the Royalty Hurt Locker

This is just the way the US Govt gets extra money out of the N.A.B lobby. pay no attention to this. NAB = National Association of Broadcasters When they want money from the RIAA Lobby .... they pull the " Lets Censor All Music " crap Happens every few years

I liked the Zune media player for pc but i guess thats dead also. I dont think ill be investing my time or money in anything microsoft. Hey richard, At least you're not the guy with the Zune Tattoo.. http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/21/zune-tattoo-guy-gets-microsofts-attention/

I think its a great idea & I hope it gets done. We're having a conversation about CD's .. THAT in itself is Old School

I dont know If 0.80 can fly here in the states. Im sure there are more upfront costs than just manufacturing to think about. so lets say $2.25 upfront which is still a big savings. Can you trust that your UNSOLD CD's will be destroyed by a retailer? of course Not Dont be Ridiculous! I can guarantee your CD's will end up in a Sri Lanka Walmart .. You think Cops DESTROY all the Weed & Coke & Guns they confiscate? Diggiti
