Six Giant Music Retailers Will Try Online Sales Together

Posted by timothy on from the smaller-warehouses dept.

PingXao writes "The New York Times is reporting that several music retailers are banding together to test online sales. Sad to see the article's author flat-out claim that '... a proliferation of free music-swapping services on the Internet has led to a decline in CD sales.' The retailers are starting to get a clue but still have a long way to go as evidenced by 'Recording companies make the music...' and 'We are in the customer relationship business.'"

    Is it just me, or did someone else find it surprising that the NYTimes' site did not display the registration page this time?

    Does this mean that NYTimes has realized that keeping tabs on customers makes customers angry?

    Or does this mean that they are using a more insidious method of data collection?
