NY Post: Apple Tunes Up. Under the terms of some of the deals, the prices for some of the most popular singles could rise to $1.25, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. Songs have previously been priced at 99 cents across the board.

And, apparently, album prices will rise even higher than the CDs cost in stores. Now there's a way to encourage buyers. Let's see. Charging more on a medium where the manufacturing costs are zero -- now that's a way to encourage sales. Brilliant.

Music Sales Up In The US

Music Sales Up In The US 04/09/2004 05:29 PM
This is a whole lot of nothing, but it turns out that mus ic sales in the US were noticeably up in the first quarter of this year. Of course, when it comes to reasons why, you get totally different interpretations from different people. Unfortunately, the RIAA believes that their "education campaign" (suing everyone) has been effective. A much more likely explanation is a combination of a few factors, mainly (a) the economy is starting to get better and (b) there were a couple of strong album releases that targeted a more diverse audience than the typical latest teeny bopper project. Having legitimate download stores probably didn't hurt matters, though, it's unclear how much it actually helped. Of course, since the RIAA is so focused on the downloading thing, this means they're going to keep on suing, despite increasing evidence that downloads don't harm industry sales.

Music Sales Haven't Really Dropped

Music Sales Haven't Really Dropped 05/13/2004 06:34 PM
New Media Musings points us to a week old article showing how the RIAA fudges CD sales figures to show they're dropping when they're actually increasing. It turns out that the RIAA used numbers that only show CD shipments to stores - and not how many CDs were actually purchased. In other words, they're using a number they have some control over. However, back in the real world, consumers are actually buying more CDs. Also, the article notes that stores are realizing they don't need to carry as much inventory, as they can go with more of a "just-in-time" supply chain model. In other words, these fewer shipments also mean that the industry is even more profitable than before. The fact that there are fewer shipments just means the industry has become more efficient. Unfortunately, this doesn't fit with the RIAA's view of the world, so they had to come up with a different method to maintain the fiction that they're selling.

A way to increase music sales

A way to increase music sales 05/29/2004 09:37 AM

I hear songs on the radio and usually cannot remember 5 minutes late who the artist was. When I was younger 20 years to be exact I was up to speed on all the latest releases etc. I had a DJ gig as a part time job at a very popular club. The only real reason I liked being a DJ was it got me into all of the popular clubs and was a very good outlet to meeting women. But today I rely on my kids to tell me who the artist is. But when I do go looking for music it is frustrating sorting through all of the cuts in a album to find the correct track. Techdirt is reporting that song analysis software helps listeners get to the good part in order to find tracks quickly. [Techdirt]

Music Industry Sales Slump as Artists
Look for New Web Distribution 06/24/2004 05:04 AM
The music industry is playing catch-up for a platform of legal downloads from the Internet. There is wide spread confusion in the industry today as many solo artists and record labels cash in on the value of the web. The Internet and web-technology are jointly recognised as the way forward however reluctance to embrace new digital mediums at an early stage has lead to a difficult starting point. Much of the industry has found, to their embarrassment, that they are struggling with a suitable online strategy and continued reduction in sales. [PRWEB Jun 24, 2004]
