To some, it was a bonus to having a CD.

Now, imagine that, only with all your songs contained in the same tool as well.

But that’s only one part of the potential problem.

and “Why don’t you just release a DVD?”

There’s a word missing in his or her statement.

Can you guess what it is?

It’s ‘physical’, and it should’ve come right before ‘album’.

“There’s a lot more to aphysicalalbum than that.”

It may seem superficial, but it’s what matters to the people who are paying for downloads.

Other paying customersdobuy a physical CD.

They’re an old business trying to stay afloat.

You’ll pay more, and they won’t work on aniPod.

The whole thing will fall flat on its face, because only hardcore fans will pay.

Just lowering the cost will do far more for sales than bundling these bonuses for the hardcore fans.
