ascdi Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Only drag about this is you can no longer right-click the discog entries to access supar-huge jpegs of the album art. That was crucial for iTunes organizational purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I like Rephlex prices better but yeah pretty cool. Wait no 8 pounds 24 for old WAV albums? fuck off. With the low cost of distribution on digital you gotta wonder right. If the prices were half that I would go nuts on there but maybe I am being a cheap prick. I am a bit poor atm.

You're not being cheap. I refuse to buy MP3s for this reason, way overpriced most places (considering the low cost of distribution and no physical product to produce).

I was just raised on physical media and don't believe in a digital file costing the same as a physical item when it's obvious it costs less to produce and distribute. If I pay that much I want something to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I pay that much I want something to show for it. Fair dues. Hell, 95% of my freelance gigs these days are CD covers and vinyl labels, so I feel you on that. I'm just grumpy about people complaining about the price of things because I feel artists and musicians aren't as well compensated for their work (overall) as they should be. I've also had to turn down several freelance jobs because people complained about my quotes (which are pretty low to begin with). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thomasplanetmu Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Alright you bunch of moaning lords (only joking) just out of curiosity then, what would you consider a fair price for say a 320 of an album and a wav of an album? Ta Thomas Planet Hu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 same for 320 as wave, offer lifetime license on the work so that one needn't be ripped on 'upgrades'. Yes, I know that this is currently unworkable. It does make you wonder what artist unions are for though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 id say 10 bucks an album is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thomasplanetmu Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 delet... Thing is a it does actually cost a different amount for a Wav and MP3. We have to pay storage and bandwidth costs, so the cost to us of sending a WAV is more than an MP3 hence most places have different price for the different size files. Fair play to Rephlex for letting you choose but it will be interesting to see if they keep it that way forever, as far as I am aware they are the only store that does not charge extra for a Wav. We have set up the store so that you can download the MP3 / WAV 3 times with no time limit on the download it once and keep the other 2 up there in case in a couple of years time your hard drive dies etc. I appreciate the feedback, we do listen.

Brandi_B Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Rephlex is using the amazon s3 service (i'm pretty sure). It has unlimited storage, and pretty decent bandwidth costs. It's made for high traffic sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta Thomas Planet Hu? Personally, I think something in the $5-8 range is fair for digital-only albums...$10 being the highest I'd consider reasonable. And mostly I feel this way because it otherwise is too close to the cost of a CD and often more expensive than a used CD...which makes no sense to me.

psn Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 At 3-4 EUR per album I'd be buying albums pretty liberally all around, if the process was more hassle free than searching Piratebay or Soulseek. At 5-6 I'd only buy stuff I already know is great, if it's from a label I feel like supporting. At 7-8 EUR I'd only buy albums that are not available to download illegally or buy physically. At prices over 8 EUR an album I think the label is being greedy and I'll just try to ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
