iTunes: Watch out for new pricing

Who said the record labels are winning – by introducing a more flexible pricing structure on their request, iTunes music store sometimes shows different prices for the same song. It is worth noting that a songs’ price depends on the album which they were released on. The example from the Australian iTunes store above shows two prices for the same song – they’re both iTunes ‘Plus’ format meaning there’s no difference in the license, yet there is a higher cost of 50cts if you select the wrong one for purchase… be careful!

To me, this proofs how complicating matters can often lead to unpredictable results. Keep it simple, …!
