Years late, Universal cuts CD prices to combat poor sales
Found on Ars Technica on Wednesday, 17 March 2010
Universal Music Group plans to soften the fall of CD sales by dropping prices across the board, to a maximum of $10.
Furthermore, it will be hard to justify spending $10 on a compressed digital download over $6 for an actual physical disc that can be ripped into iTunes or any other media software in a matter of minutes, and can be done using lossless encoding (if so desired).
Better late than never they say. But in the online world, being late can also be the same as being dead.
