I don't know about you, but purchasing an actual CD in stores is a rarity for me. I only consider picking up an album if it's by one of my favorite artists/bands and even then I listen to 30 second samples beforehand. Music industries acknowledge their sales are depreciating but don't take any measures to prevent it. In a world that's about to face some form of a depression you'd think they'd try a different approach.

My idea is this: If CDs were to drop in price, perhaps to about $7-$9, people would be much more inclined to purchase them. I feel a Deluxe CD/DVD shouldn't run for more than $14.Companies would make less of a profit in a single purchase, but lower prices would almost guarantee better sales. People would feel more tempted to buy full-length CDs, instead of pirating them off the internet.

What are your thoughts? Do you feel prices for music albums are too high these days? (Because I sure do)
