It is pretty much a rip off because some songs that are $1.29 aren't even good. if make the prices go any higher, nobody will be able to buy any songs, then we all will go to another music store or... GET LIME WIRE!!!!!!!! That is what I am going to do, so it would be better cause I won't have to pay a "cent" That isn’t right that they are making the prices go up because they have billions of people paying $1.29 and $0.99 was good enough.

The 99 cents per song was perfect. Why would they want to ruin it? & Yes, I have not seen anything that is 69 cents either. I too, think that the hike will lead to many going to piracy.

Amazon is THE best service out there if you ask me for many reasons - many [popular] songs are .79 cents and albums, when first released, are commonly $5 or cheaper. It is totally web-based (access anywhere) total DRM free, and MOST SONGS ARE VARIABLE BIT RATE (better quality and smaller file size - the other songs are either 256 (itunes bit rate) or 320 (better than itunes, but of course higher file size)). This is the main reason that I am switching from Rhapsody (MP3 music store, not streaming service) to Amazon. The good thing about Rhapsody is that almost every album is under 9.99. Stores like the two just mentioned are going to become more popular simply because of the price hike at itunes. I know many people are going to stick with itunes and deal with the price hike, but if you ask me itunes' dominance is very slowly going down the drain. /rant I use two music stores, neither which is itunes.
