Tags: Equal Vision Records, Downloading price break
OCT 20 - As the music industry is adapting to new technologies, it seems as though everyone has forgotten why we're all here: the music. Equal Vision Records & This Time Next Year have introduced a new system to give music to anyone who is willing to listen. Fans can "choose your own price" - from $0 to $1,000,000 it is it up to the fan to decide what to pay for the music. Fans also have options in what types of files to download - mp3, AAC, FLAC, or Apple Lossless - for those who are concerned about the quality, unlike other music download options. Additionally, the file previews aren't limited to :30 like iTunes or Amazon. Listeners can hear the full album in a number of places, including the download website.
Fans still wanting to purchase a physical copy can do so through MerchNow, Amazon, FYE, or Best Buy.

Last year they gave a set price for a listener to pay, and sent them every release all year. I wonder if they'll continue that with actual CD subscriptions.

It's finally nice to hear a record company doing everything they can to ensure the quality and convenience of the listener for a change. This news has not fallen of deaf ears.
