Comment Not much bang for the buck. (Score 1) 478

I would DEFINATELY download TV episodes and movies for $1.99 ANYDAY over music tracks for $.99


And that's why?

I have a huge music collection, but it's a few beloved tracks - some from CDs, some from the net - that I keep playing over and over. WinAmp Statistics say that some of these tracks were played 40 - 50 times. So I get a lot of bang for my buck.

(And that's only on my desktop PC. Add a similar number for my MP3 player.)

The great thing about music is you can listen to it while doing something else. Try the same thing with video.

Honestly - how often would you watch an episode of "Friends" or another video? Two times? Maybe four? I don't think so.

(Admittedly, there are movies that I could watch over and over, like Blade Runner or Fight Club. But in that case, I'll gladly fork over the money for a real DVD.)
