If they let you pick and choose the songs you want the individual artist and the label that owns the albums would really be hurt. Of course people only want the two songs off the album, but how does the rest of the album get sold. Are you suggesting the Recording Industry reinvent there entire business model so that they can sell you the one song you like. For an entire album a band is likely to get 10 cents royalty, but how much royalty do thy get per song? Are we just blasting the big companies or are we trying to protect consumers and artists.
