I'll definitely agree with you 200% there.
As for the subscription idea, a dollar per track might be a bit much for
regular releases - a 15-track release is then suddenly about the same
cost as the CD, so that kinda cancels out the instant gratification
value. But for rarer, out of print stuff, the convenience outweighs
the cost. And the cost would presumably be cheaper anyway since rare
stuff is so expensive if you do manage to get your hands on it.
If you were to offer regular releases for download, though, they should
at least be 2/3 the price of the CD - something like that.
Or maybe the convenience of being able to get only the tracks you want
would make up for the cost being nearly the same.
I don't know...
