Has anyone ever bought a CD-single? (when it wasn't in a bargain bin?) Why not stick with CDs, but create a file downloading service where devoted fans could grab singles or rarities (or CD tracks, if need be ). I mean it's the real music buffs that are creating this chaos for the industry (whereas those swapping radio fodder ... well... ) so why not stop trying to squeeze money out of those loyal and give them more value and convenience?
This may just lead to the songs being even more swappable, as the industry would be doing the ripping for you - probably a new format would be needed.. anyway, just a thought.
