Not so. You can buy the whole album at the iTunes store for $9.99 - 22 tracks and a 'digital booklet', whatever that is. That's the same price as the discounted album at Amazon.
The digital form is still more expensive than it should be. The music labels twisted Apple's arm over price because Apple wanted the tracks DRM free. Really the digital prices should be less than the physical form, for the same reason ebooks should be less than the physical form - you can't resell iTunes music or ebooks.

To purchase the same number of tracks in digital format from iTunes, in compressed, lower quality format, at $0.99, would cost you about double. |
