I love everything Apple but when it comes to my music... just getting into the habit of paying for it was hard enough that I don't need them raising prices. I haven't heard of bands and artist approving of this but its good to know that some companies are still looking out for us.
"As promised, variable pricing has now been implemented at the iTunes music store. Already, we're seeing most of top 10 singles and 33 of the top 100 hitting the top price-point of $1.29 (encoded as DRM-free 256kbps AAC). Interesting as Amazon's uncomfortably similar top 10 list has all these tracks priced at $0.99 (encoded as DRM-free 256kbps VBR MP3)."
