What price point do you think CD's should be so they would be competive and people would download less?

I feel that I would buy a lot of music if the newest CD's were 9.99 for a brand new disc. 7.99 when they were a year old and 5.99 after 5 years.

Do you think people would start buying again instead of downloading?

I think .99 for a single song is fine if you don't want to take the whole album.
 
0. I think most people download to avoid paying for 12 crappy songs to hear 1 good one. Then there is the whole convenience factor of 3 minutes after you think of a song you can listen to it instead of waiting for delivery or jumping in the car and going to the store.
 
People download music regardless of price. CDs could sell for $0.99 and people would still download music instead.
 
Hell, if all old CDs were $10 I would be happy. The problem is that you have to pay an arm and a leg for a CD if you don't get it in the first week of release. I think a lot of the problem is that people see they can pick up a copy of the newest release for $10 or less and then if they want to go pick up some old Metallica album they have to pay $14-$18. In a lot of cases people are actually buying a CD for a second time because they've misplaced their original copy and just don't feel like paying that much for something they've already bought once.
 
$8-10...just like motherfvcking cassettes were.

Who the hell wants to pay $18-22 for a CD of 10 songs that are absolute pants, and one song that burrowed into your skull through overplaying on the radio.

I take that back, you have to pay me to take most of that garbage off your hands.
 
10 bucks is the highest I will pay for a cd. .99 Cents for a song encoded at 128kbps in AAC is imho not worth it. What if the CD was 14 tracks? I could get the whole cd for less and A LOT better quality.

Artists who release CDs with a bunch of filler like you people described deserve to get jacked. I would never ever buy a CD that was complete crap for only one song.
 
I'd start buying CDs again if they were < $10 each. What would really get me buying them again is if albums on CD were 1/2 price ($5) when you traded in the tape.
