Are you assuming that people will buy all the tracks on the album? Because that obviously won't happen.

Most people will buy just 1 or 2 tracks from a band and be much more selective about their music. I see this as a pretty good thing because it means that the artists will have to work harder to get their money, no more releasing remixes of the same track on the album to pad it out.

It also wont be as much about the music, as it wil be about the live gigs. Bands will start to make more money from touring than they will from just selling albums, which I think is also a good thing.

I recently paid £1 for a download bundle from OHM, a new band I have recently come across (www.savioursofpop.net)
The bundle included 2 tracks, a couple of wallpapers and a video of their single. I didn't mind paying for that bundle at all and because the site is run by the band themsleves, I know they are getting 100% of all the cash, rather than giving 80% to a record label.

This is the future my friends, charge up your IPods.
