Should Apple make songs 99 cents again?
With digital sales slipping thanks to the rise of streaming (
) is it time for Apple to consider lowering the price of an individual song to 99 cents again?

If people are going to buy your music an extra 30cents won't matter.

No. They should make it $1.69 so that our faves get more $$$.

I believe so. They boosted prices on April 7, 2009.

I don't think demand will rise enough to offset the loss in revenue due to the price decrease.

When you buy multiple songs at a time, it adds up.
