Rather than sell individual tracks over the Web like iTunes or Amazon, Sony BMG will be selling plastic cards at retail stores like Best Buy and Target that represent the ability to download an album at MusicPass.com. Called the “Platinum MusicPass,” downloads will also include the types of bonuses you might expect when buying a CD, such as hidden tracks and videos. The recommended price for most of these cards will be $12.99.
right premise, stupid idea. Sony’s attempt at going DRM free (from Mashable). god only know what kind of logging is on MusicPass.com.
Sony is on to something here, this internet thing. They know the way to get me to pay for music is to make me actually GO to a store, buy a worthless piece of paper THEN go home and use it to download something on my computer that I could’ve gotten without leaving my apartment in the first place.
