I think this here point is what stands out above everything else. The simple fact that there is NO REASON for a cd to cost $16.99 !! Especially since the amount of money from each transaction that trickles down to the artists is SO minimal it boggles the mind. I like what Emusic has going with selling MP3 albums for $8.99 but I'm really bummed not getting the cover art.
