Exchange Rates Play With Online Music Prices

EconolineCrush writes "Those looking to purchase songs online may find that the price of music downloads varies quite a bit from country to country. Most vendors seem to be favoring 0.99/track pricing schemes, but $0.99CDN is worth quite a bit less than 0.99 British Pounds. When indexed to the US dollar, Canadians using Puretracks are getting a bargain with tracks costing only $0.76US, while UK residents using Coke's new music store are getting ripped off at nearly $1.80US per song. iTunes and Wal Mart sit between the two, with tracks selling for $0.99 and $0.88, respectively."

What ever happened to that guy who tried to sell an iTunes song on eBay?

Slow Down Cowboy!

Slashdot editors could never type faster than 10 pecks a minute, so since you type godawfully fast, we're going to punish you by forcing you to wait an arbitrary amount of time. That will teach you to be uppity in the presence of your betters!

It's been around a minute since you, the user, aka "scum," last successfully, intentionally, deliberately, previously, redundantly posted a comment on the web service/system known as Slashdot or "/."

Chances are, you've been already moderated as a Troll or "off-topic" and had your account slapped with the $rtbl; so that your kind is kept where you belong. After a while, you'll get used to only posting a few times a day, because, hey, your opinion is crap anyway. Please try again. The posting, you dolt. If the problem persists, and all other options have been tried, the beach has lots of sand you can pound.
