The CD pricing model

The discussions continue on what most influences CD sales. One answer is piracy, so the music industry has invested heavily in anti-piracy enforcement and lobbying. Others have suggested price may play a role. Best Buy has a special where you can buy 3 DVD's for $20. These DVD's contain 2 hours or more of both audio and visual material. CD's are still at $15 to $20 each with 12 to 14 tracks of just audio; sometimes it's the soundtrack from the DVD that is selling for half the price. No question, say some, the CD pricing model is broken.

There's still little mention of the music itself.
