How is it degeneracy? If an artist chooses to let you buy individual tracks why is that a problem? Quote from: Sᴏʟᴏɴᴏɪᴅ on September 21, 2016, 05:51:02 PMYou shouldn't have the option to only buy a fraction of it, it's a practice in degeneracy.

If an artist wants you to buy a single track, they'll release it as a single.
And how did you get Singles before iTunes was a thing? Quote from: Sᴏʟᴏɴᴏɪᴅ on September 21, 2016, 06:19:14 PMIf an artist wants you to buy a single track, they'll release it as a single.
You really don't know what a single is?
Really, my 2 cents is that albums should be listened to as a whole piece, at least most of the time. If an artist release a single they want you to just hear that song. I like adhering to their original intentions.
It was a trick question. I understand the fact that before iTunes exploded in popularity, you still had to wait for an album in order to get a single on your personal player. Regardless, your answer of an artist releasing it as a single doesn't help your point. I'm not seeing artist after artist losing money in mass over being able to purchase individual tracks. Apple is a middleman, if artists are losing money via people being able to just buy individual tracks they should come up with other alternatives that aren't going to be a hassle for casual individuals such as myself where I don't want to buy a collection and only get my money's worth out of one song.

Singles almost always come out before the full album. Artists choose the song they want you to hear and start selling it early to get people excited about the rest of the album.
And once again, I can't stress this enough: Artist's willingly give Apple the rights to sell their tracks like this on iTunes.
Only because of people like you.
