Its interesting Apple would approve this as it could set an unwanted precedent as another outlet for music besides iTunes. Apple doesn't make the same money on $3 as they do from selling the entire discography on iTunes.

Would be nice to have a follow up one day if at this price there´s more in for the artist than popularity.

Or just listen for free with Spoitify? Either way, it's a PR story.

I think I speak for everyone when I say...
"The Presidents of the United States of America had four albums?"
All kidding aside, I'm interested to see how other artists try to engage new listeners in this economy. Most musicians want to get their music out there - if they can find a way to do it and keep the record companies marginally happy, everyone wins.
You know, except apple in this case.

its better to sell for 3$ the possibility of listening to 4 albums than never selling the 4 albums at all. and its not about the 4 cds its more like a band service
and itunes is not making the money, ipod/iphone does

Leave it to Mashable to forget important details. Tracks are randomized.

Just blogged this article. I love the fact that its cheap music in a new distrobution format. Two things wrong. Can't select what song you want, and you have to have wifi. But still worth the $3.
@yiah with iPhone apps apple get 30% and the programmers get 70%. So PUSA gets $2 of every app sold. iTunes is apples distro center, ipod/iphone is just the device, not a company.

@filsinger more or less we say the same thing margin 0=<song<0.1 0.3<app<3 10s<i-device<100s
so it makes sense to sell the app right here right now than wait to sell 40 catalog songs

iTunes is the biggest joke in the technology world. Apple = convincing untechnologically savvy people that they're are savvy by offering basic solutions at jacked up prices.
3 Things You Need for Music:
1. PirateBay.org (Download full discographies for free)
2. Pandora.com (Create a custom station, run a cable from your microphone jack to your to your headphone jack, Record the radio with 'Audacity' audacity.sourceforge.net/
3. Napster.com or Rhapsody.com (You can't beat all the music you want for $15. You can take it anywhere and if you really need to own the tracks forever just record them with Audacity.

LOL @ Chris... sounds like you're butt-hurt from something. iTunes us an EXCELLENT solution, and no one cares about the tech world. The REAL world is owned by iTunes.

Lethality,

"iTunes us an EXCELLENT solution" = No Evidence or Reason
