I think some for some bands it makes sense for them to do this.  Though I think it might make sense for them to just release one song of the album, just to give people a taste.  It&#8217;s pretty interesting seeing how all this is playing out.  I know how much Apple wants to sell things by the song, but if they don&#8217;t bend on this they&#8217;re doing their customers a disservice.  I&#8217;m sure there are lots of folks who would be glad to buy a whole album by some of these bands.  Though it might be an interesting compromise to sell some individual tracks on older albums, and maybe only sell new albums by the album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that some bands don&#8217;t want to sell individual songs at Apple&#8217;s Music Store.
