The world's largest music store, Apple's iTunes, plans to boost
the price of many hit singles and selected classic tracks to
$1.29 on April 7, breaking the psychological barrier of 99 cents
in what could be the first big
test of how much consumers are
willing to pay to download individual songs. Although the date
for higher prices has not been publicly announced, Apple has been
notifying record labels it will go into effect on that date,
industry executives said. The move, part of a new "variable-
pricing" strategy that will also lower the price of selected
songs, is an attempt by the music industry to wring more revenue
from digital downloads in the battle to offset declining CD
sales. Label executives contend the new pricing will allow them
to offer packaged downloads of songs that might entice consumers
to spend more on music.
