BT, I think your fear is founded, in that labels won't at first even think of considering the "context" of the retailer in providing pricing. The default is of course to have prices equal at all retailers - that's just FAIR, right? Subscription vs…

There's no pricing angle to be played - for that, use 'em up. But if you're interested in grabbing new catalog entries from Universal, wait.

I just noticed this: (Quote) This indicates to me that 'Deals' are going down in value - album prices will be higher than 12* track prices, for the cheapest tier. …

@BT: (Quote)
Well, look at it this way - there's no "normal" level - prices have gone up. So the "bonus" keeps us at the same lower price, but only for the cheapest t… -
My 35-cr prepaid annual goes to $17.67/month credit (incl. a $5/mo bonus). That's 3ish (non-popular) albums, which seems ok for now, but we'll see how the selections I'm interested in cost. (If anyone has insight on how that's worse than it seems,…

I still maintain a particular connection to the emu boards, because the people there are all connected to the same music source. I like that advocacy there is just a click away for any reader.

Including final Amiestreet grabs (and some napster, and cd rips, and blessedly, unashamedly free of Guvera grabs):

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (2010)
Calla - Calla (1999)
CallaI don't see any "reasonable" customizations within the Fantasy pricing schedules: note there's "Fantasy Records" and "Fantasy/Prestige" - the former is album-priced as normal, and the latter is not at all yet. Am I missing something where "reason" …I hope I didn't give anyone the impression I am sloughing off ownership - not only do I acknowledge the endowment effect (another cognitive bias, one that induces higher valu…I'd be interested to know the specific explanation for the 'reggae' mistag. elwood may be right that it's some id3v1 confusion, but I don't know exactly how it would happen. I don't think that it's limited to just one aggregator, but I'm not sure.…Katrina, I was going off your mention of the cheap emusic prices - those can't help but affect your (and everyone else's here) perception of value. Anchoring is a cognitive bias, not a willful or conscious effect. I just used your statement as an …I think of napster as "on-demand streaming", rather than the odd "renting music" angle I see some people mention. It's purely a supplement to my own library - I use it primarily for full-length sampling and single listens to unowned-albums - nothin…Since I mentioned napster above, I just wanted to note two new discoveries - that much of ECM's catalog is available for streaming, and, definitely new and welcome, you can finally browse/click on labels.(Quote) Just an academic note about this issue, lots of people's feelings on it (Katrina's just one example) are almost certainly heavily influenced by the cognitive bias of anchorin…My take is that AK's price estimate has no meaning except in a sense if they decided how much they'd want to profit on an average project, looked at their average sales numbers, and calculated an average price to achieve their goals.

Only $5 a month to mostly replicate the lala sampling experience (pros: unlimited streaming, some mp3 credits, inexpensive -- cons: more catalog holes than lala (ime), slightly worse interface, no…Quite a few due to recent listings from others, thanks!

Calla - Stren…Re: Capitol - Nancy Wilson's early Capitol records are pretty awesome, if you like jazz vocals.Yeah, I'm on elwood's side here - i browse this thread, and feel absolutely no regret for not participating. Opportunity costs makes plenty of free music way too expensive for me!Thanks for the pointers, useful in these last days!38520+ tracks, 238GB. ~3500? cds, maybe half or so ripped.
Posters so far only show a factor of 2 or so variance, not much. frogkopf won't upset that, since he's already a known outlier.in How Big Is Your... Comment by kargatron September 2010
It's shocking they released it, really. It's flabbergastingly useless."We believe we've found a great home for AmieStreet.com"
Which home is that? Oblivion?Ratatat - "Alps" (LP4, 2010)
Sunno))) - "Sin-Nanna" (Black One, 2005)
Akron/Family - "Untitled" (Akron/Family, 2005)
Pangea - "A massive hit" (No-R-mal, 2009)
Dennis Gonz…I actually regret grabbing the Legacy edition for 12. Not because of the music itself, but because of all the repeats, and that I have no other Cash. I probably should have ignored it and started with the Sun sides.All or partials, using subscription bonus:
Jazz:
Chris Cheek - Vine (2000)
The Claudia Quintet with Gary Versace - Royal Toast (2010)
Scott Colley - Empire (2010)
