Jobs to Labels- Lose the DRM & We'll Talk Price

eldavojohn writes "Apple CEO Steve Jobs has been talking smack about DRM and has recently issued a verbal offer to major music lables stating that if they are willing to lose the DRM, he'd be willing to raise his 99 cent price for those iTunes songs. These tracks (such as the recent EMI deal) would also have better sound quality & cost about 30 cents more."

A whole album of 10-14 songs costs only $10-15 from someplace like Amazon.com.

No, you can't buy just a single song that way, but why would you want to? If a band's music is so bad that only one song is listenable, then maybe their music isn't worth paying for. Stop listening to the Britney or Justin schlock and get some decent taste in music.

Where are all these CDs that have good songs and crap songs together? When I listen to an album by a talented artist, I find myself either liking or disliking the album as a whole. Stop listening to one hit wonders and you won't have this problem anymore.
