So why then is music still 7.99-9.99 to download for a lossy version when the cd is either the same price or cheaper if you shop around online?
Personally, I think a lossless download should be £7 and lossy £4. There's no packaging, no delivery costs, no storage costs, no printing costs..... Hardly any overheads at all really.
I'm still buying CDs.
