This is a good idea, but I think that 2$ per track download is a little bit pricey. If you figure that the average cd has 10 tracks on it, you end up paying more for each song by downloading then by purchasing the cd. I realize that you might be offering hard to find tracksor singles, but you get the point. Since the purchaser isn't getting any packaging or tangible material, I think that the price needs to be low enough so that people will not think twice about paying for the track when they could alternatively download it for free off of a p2p service. I think something in the range of 50 cents to 1$ would generate more downloads then 2$ per track. Food for thought. Brandon
