This. Physical album prices should stay the same, though.

Physical + digital ones. The prices in the US are so cheap compared to here.

mess @ y'all wanting $5 digital albums, artists already get like zero money per sale as it is.

keep the prices like they are.

The digital prices should. I mean, I know you can download them again if you use iTunes or Amazon if you get another PC or whatever, but $15 is ridiculous for digital albums. $5.99 - $7.99 would be the ideal range, but digital retailers (usually Apple) charge twice that because they want a huge profit.

Prices on singles should go up and prices in albums should go down. This is a risk but if it were to pay off, it would encourage the average consumer to spend a few extra dollars on an album instead of buying just a single. It could bring album sales back.

I think it's worth a shot but then again I'm not some kind of expert.

honestly that's not a bad idea.

yes. because i only have 6$ and i have to buy 20/20.

I think 7.99 sounds like a great reduced price that can be feasible. 10 for deluxe

Physical albums should be:
$10 for standard
$13 for deluxe

Digital albums should be
$8 standard
$10 deluxe

In my Country they cost 35 Turkish Liras... Thats like 20 dollars..

Physical album should stay the same but digital should way lower than they are.

I feel as if they should stay the same
artists put YEARS of work into recording albums
and creating the vision, direction, & image that they want to go with
If albums were $5 24/7 it wouldn't be fair to them imo regardless of the quality of the songs

Yeah, I know about this. Maybe then wasn't the time yet. Smartphones exploded not very long ago. I think maybe if they pushed it harder and created probably wi-fi enabled USB albums or that used a universal socket fit for normal USB cables for PC, laptops, MP3 players, iPods, iPads, etc so they would be much more accessible and useful. Also, the variable data size of flash memory could allow them to be of much better audio quality within the same audio formats.

Probably work with Samsung, Sony, Apple or some other big tech or music company that made their new MP3/Music players friendly with these albums so an integration would be more easy to get from the public. Probably also to create a technology that made these albums last like forever, because the shelf-life of digital media is around 15+ years. At this point you don't know how much your CD is going to last even if you took well care of it.

Who carries around CDs nowadays anyway?
