    1.49 Euro = 1.79 USD per track


    How do they keep their prices so low and still make a profit?

      You are not converting for the metric measurement properly.

      What you got to realize is that there are 10 bits per byte in the EU now, and so the costs are higher.

  2. An album is not 1 pound! by L.+VeGas · · Score: 3, Funny

    This article is just full of errors. I have lots of albums, and NONE of them weigh more than a pound.
