MSN music: and the winner is ... the Music Majors
MSN music has officially announced the end of its unique price of 0.99 Euros/track (identical to iTMA)
As requested by Music Majors, the most "wanted" tracks will be sold 1.19 Euros a,d 11.99 Euros for the popular album; while the other album will be available for 6.99 Euros.
Up to date, Apple via its CEO Steve Jobs has strongly refuse to adopt such a "variable" or "on-demand" price for the iTMS
But with this decision taken by MSN Music represented in France by OD2, it might be the beginning of a new battle; eventhough MSN or OD2 are far to have as much strength as Apple/iTMS for negotiating such deals with Music Majors.
In such battle to come, the winner is the one that will be able to financially resist to such agreement.
