They're pretty catchy. Too bad Naruto's best opening isn't on iTunes. YouTubeQuote from: Ender on September 21, 2016, 04:43:00 PMwhy
Why would you ever get anything on iTunes.

They're a tertiary middleman that robs artists and encourages buying only one song from an album, which is detrimental to art, and cuts even further into the earnings of musicians.If you're going to pay for music, buy CDs.

I still buy CD's depending on what it is. I bought the physical copy of every FFXIV OST from Square Enix but when it comes to an individual song, it doesn't make sense to buy an entire CD for a single track when I can just get the one song I want for literally a dollar. Also if I'm buying a disc chances are I'm going to just go get from Amazon so I of course also have to pay for shipping and wait for it to come to me whereas I get the song instantly and save significantly more money. Also I'm pretty sure iTunes strikes a deal with the artist when they put their songs up for sale on their store. Meaning the artist doesn't lose anything from people purchasing their tracks on iTunes.
I literally just said iTunes is evil because it allows people to buy individual songs, how can your counterargument be "it lets me buy individual songs"It's iTunes' fault that Tower Records and Hastings are out of business, If you ever buy just one song instead of the whole album, you're a terrible person.
I don't think Apple should be blamed when those companies refused to adapt to a changing market. iTunes is not the only distributor of single tracks. I would still like my question answered: What sense does it make for me to spend more than eight-ten bucks for an album of an artist that I don't know about when I only want one track?

It's about making sure that artists are properly compensated, and that the art form isn't destroyed.That's why Prince released CDs as a single track, so people couldn't skip around and only listen to a specific part.You don't deserve to listen to a song if you didn't get the album.

iTunes has to get the rights to sell the song though, so its not like the artists are being robbed by Apple. Fans of the artist will continue buying the album while people who only find one song catchy no longer have to spend money on an entire album only to enjoy 1/10 of it. And what about foreign music? Should I really have to import an entire CD because my niche music isn't licensed in the US? I still do depending on what it is (Such as the Eva tracks) but I run into the same problem I run with artists here in the US, I'm paying more for less only now it's compounded with import fees. I'd also argue the music that's being made is the art form, not its distribution.

You shouldn't have the option to only buy a fraction of it, it's a practice in degeneracy.
tfw you think you don't have any guilty pleasure music but then
