Debbie Downer here,
I was over at sputnik and someone commented on the price. To clarify, $33 dollars for a ton of music seems reasonable. But does anyone know why it costs more and more to buy WAVs and FLAC when you purchase more music? I was looking around bleep and spotted an EP that costs 14% more from mp3 to wav, an album that costs 33% more, and finally this, which is 67% more. Seems kinda fucked up.
It's ok, there's no valid reason to buy anything other than the mp3, so just think of the markup as an idiot-tax and everything's right with the world.
The FLAC tax. Yeah, despite all the hype among audiophiles there is virtually no discernible difference between 24 bit WAVs and mp3s. I mean, it's real. But it's only slightly realer than the parables of Jesus.
Just copped the MP3s, downloading now.
Archiving. Even if I could never tell the difference, I always save the very best quality I can find; doing otherwise just seems silly to me. Why explicitely pay for an inferior version?
For me the increased price is completely inconsequential in that regard, but then again I'm not familiar with the employment status of most people here.
1) costs less
2) sounds the same
seems impractical and shitty to pay 66% more for the other version. the only cogent argument that's been made is wanting to put more money in æ's pockets, in which case it's understandable. Other than that it's complete bullshit that it costs that much more.
well from their point of view it costs more in terms of bandwidth and storage, but from the listeners point of view it isn't worth any more in any real sense.
So how does band camp get by giving away a ton of albums, many of which are free, in any format you like without charging more cash? I'm not trying to be a dick, I just don't understand how this works (obviously). So there's some multiplicative factor involved when you scale up the file size of whatever you're selling? eps are approx 14% whereas a purchase consisting of 5 eps is marked up 66%?

^That's how I like to think of band camp. I'm sure they're planning a global corporate take over just like every other business out there but man, it's a pretty sweet time to be customer.
