Here’s one I found. All Nirvana songs are 99 cents, except for Smells Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are which are $1.29. And this means every version of those two songs, so if you wanted the unplugged or a live version, you have to pay an extra 30 cents.

The only song the Beastie Boys have for 1.29 is ‘No Sleep Til Brooklyn’. I thought it would have been Sabotage.

Haha, flock of seagulls-I Ran (so Far Away) is the only 69cent song I could find.

this can only hurt itunes and increase illegal downloads. FAIL.

The foo fighters catalog is priced at $.99 except for Everlong, which is priced at 1.29.

This is why I won’t pay $1.29 for anything. 99 cents was a perfectly reasonable ceiling since an album with, say, 12 tracks would maintain its retail price you’d find at a store. $1.29 is highway robbery, and I’ll either deal with Amazon or go back to…the usual methods. It would also be nice if there were about 20-30% more 69-cent downloads—the theory was the 69-cent ones would go for lesser artists and tracks, but apparently Apple wants a one-size-fits-all pricing scheme that frankly doesn’t do me or most other consumers any good.

i really hate this. i use to like itunes, and i thought the price change would mean most songs would be $.69. but when i went to get some the killers songs, all the songs i wanted are $1.29 and the crappy ones are $.69. You fail itunes for robbing us.

This is ridiculous. I loved iTunes and using it to buy new music, but with this change in effect, I’m going to be way pickier with the what I choose to buy. 99 cents for a song is totally reasonable, but $1.29, I’m not sure I want it that bad.

Oh, grow up. Anyone using iTunes is going to be able to pay 30 cents more for the big hits, and plus, you can forget DRM hassles and crap like that that has been a pain in the ass since it began. Come on, this is hardly a huge change and you aren’t going to die because of it.

Yea, back to piracy.

Am I still in the minority about understanding the appeal of buying MP3 files? If I like the song or album, I’m going to buy the CD. Give me that hard copy that can use anywhere and anyhow I want to. I have a MP3 player. I use it consistently. It’s a great portable player to listen to my favorite songs off the CD’s that I bought.

Oh, yeah Alex, a thirty percent increase on the price of songs isn’t a big deal AT ALL.
Maybe you should grow up and realize that while that may not make a difference for people who probably only buy a few songs at a time off iTunes and pirate the rest, it will make a huge differenc for people who buy the majority of their songs and who buy many at a time and often. A $25 giftcard will no longer buy 23 songs, it will buy 18. Or to turn it around, the price of 12 songs is no longer $13, or the average low-end price of a 12 song cd, but $17, or more than the average 12 song cd. 30 cents is a lot when you multiply it by the number of songs you want to purchase.
And don’t tell me I should just buy the album for $9.99 then, because that misses the whole point. I could go to the store and do that, and even if aI had to pay a couple bucks more, at least I’d have a hard copy. The whole point of iTunes is for people to buy individual songs that they like, and this price increase is an insult to those of us who have been using this store as our primary purchase place. It is also an insult to the artists, because now their record label is telling them that some people’s songs are worth more than other people’s songs, even though they put an equal amount of work into them.
I propose a boycott to all music in the iTunes store priced at $1.29. We can get it all on Amazon.com or somewhere else instead. Eventually they will be forced to drop prices back.

in the long run, the vast majority of music will remain at the same price. save for the “huge hits” which are being priced up, which really only serves as proof of record companies’ greed. perhaps with this price increase, more people will look further down the charts, and lesser known bands will get more exposure.

thus becoming polar, but hey, i’d rather have Minus the Bear or what have you topping the charts instead of Madonna Jr. oh wait… Lady Gaga.

i wont buy music now from iTunes…and this will ABSOLUTELY increase illegal downloads.so here you go record companies for every extra 30 cents you make say goodbye to it when some other kid decides its not worth it and get from limewire.

This raise in prices is absurd!!! I am not childish when I say that, because of the economy a ton of people are on a low money budget. I don’t not get why a company like apple would have any problem with money right now. And if they had wanted even more buisness for money they wouldn’t raise the prices, they should lower them because who doesn’t like a good sale. And I agree with many that I boycotting the insane price range. I mean it may only be 30 cents more but it sure adds up. A lot of people are ashamed of apple making this choice and those people include me. This is just going to make millions of people angery not want more. And for those who don’t see a problem with the new prices then go ahead and spend all your money on the new price. Then while the rest of us are boycotting it and they finally change the prices, then you will be the one regreting spending all that money on nothing.

Bad move. I went to itunes today for the first time since the price change and I can not get myself to buy anything for $1.29. I guess I will use up the rest of my gift card on the $0.99 songs and find other ways to get the overpriced songs.

BOYCOTT!!!! RALLY THE TROOPS!
How dare they in this economy raise the prices 30 cents on each song. It really adds up. The thing that upsets me too is, with the price change the “hit” (1.29) songs will go down the charts and the outdated songs will climb up the charts and then there will be a reversal of “hit” songs and the prices will constantly change…. I might pay 1.29 one week and the next I could have gotten it for .99 cents

Where the hell are these .69 cent songs…..
This is BS

i tought i was the only one that was mad about itunes raising the price ahahaha!!

I will not buy any $1.29 songs. My on question is if when the top 100 songs go down in popularity will the prices go down too?

itunes is the one going to end up losing money, dumbass move apple

I hate this, I mean, I actually buy songs instead of downloading them illegally. And now having to pay 30 extra is complete bs. Never going to buy a $1.29 song

I can’t believe iTunes is raising thier price by 30 cents, i find that it’s rediculous to pay like $1.29 for a song that last like 3 minutes. WAY TO RIP US OFF ITUNES!!!

Yeah im going back to downloading…
that’s bs and itunes knows it

dumb move itunes!

bbb

all of seether’s stuff is still $0.99.

ITUNES is a joke… this price raise is such a clown move… ive purchased about 300 songs off there and they can consider my business officially gone. I will deal with another vendor because this is price descrimination. Several bands have just their top songs as more expensive… this is just a prime example of greedy jerks

WOW!!!! Real smart, itunes. evryoone should use RHAPSODY now if they don’t want to be ripped off.

this price change wouldn’t be so bad…if the $.69 songs even existed. i’ve been browsing around itunes like normal and have yet to find a single $.69 song. (and i’ve looked at some very non-mainstream stuff!) Meanwhile i’ve seen many $1.29. And it wouldn’t be half as bad if all the other music downloading stores (walmart, amazon, lala) didn’t follow suit like a bunch of posers.

London Calling by Clash is 69 cents

I finally found a 69 cent song – Marvin Gaye’s version of “Can I Get a Witness”. Woot!

The new price range make me angry because is used to buy 5 song of five dollars dut new I for $5.16 for four song and it sucks. Im going to RHAPSODY

good bye itunes.

Every one of Linkin Park’s songs is $1.29.

You guys are all idiots for paying for music in the first place. Sure, the band deserves money for making music, but you need to realize that the artist gets about four cents out of the 99 you pay for the song. The online music industry disgusts me.

Why are honest being cheated? Instead of downloading we pay and now you want to gouge us. The rich get richer indeed. Maybe I should just get a zoom. At least I can get as many songs as I want for $14.99 a month.

whatever. most of the songs anyway on the top 10 are going to be MTV specials specials anyway. No thanks. That music can go up in price, I’ll never buy it. Gouge that market, fine by me. I’m all for whole album sales anyway. Think about it. Pay $1.30 for one song, or $10 for the album. It’s still a pretty good deal and the choice is yours. Also, DRM free. Stop bitching.

Everybody is greedy.
More people are just going to do it illegally.
It’s stupid to pay $1.29 for a three minute song.
Seriously? I could just turn on the radio and get a tape recorder and record it and transfer it over to my computer.
Rip. Off.

I have Officially at this time Gone to Downloading hello Utorrent Thanks I-tunes for steal my hard earned money I bid Thee Farewell

People are going to start buying the Zunes where they pay $12 a month for unlimitted downloads. If itunes really wanted to do something right, they’d make something like that, not increase the price of popular songs. This also means that movies and show prices are going to go up. LIMEWIRE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION!
