Say it aint so. The last living major holdout for the iTunes store has given in according to the latest New Music Tuesday email I received from iTunes: \u201cRadiohead make their iTunes debut with In Rainbows, one of the most talked about and celebrated albums of the past year. A concise blend of technology and streamlined, unnerving guitar-driven songs, In Rainbows is now available with a digital booklet.\u201d <\/p>\n
Perhaps one of the most talked about, but certainly not celebrated. They refused to sell their album on iTunes, instead, trying to sell it themselves on their own website. And get this – for whatever price you wanted plus half a pound more for the download fee. Not even knowing who Radiohead was, I wasn\u2019t about to give them the traditional dollar per song that I\u2019m accustomed to paying for my music pleasure. So I gave them a pound for the album under the assumption that if I liked any of them, I\u2019d pay them a dollar per song that I liked.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t like a single song. I wasn\u2019t about to keep the songs, so I asked around to a few friends of mine, to see if they wanted any of the songs. I paid for them right? I was going to delete them anyways. Might as well give them to someone. Nobody wanted them. So into the trash they went, and then I emptied that trash. That\u2019s the end of my experimentation with Radiohead. Welcome to iTunes guys. At least at iTunes they\u2019ll be able to get more money than selling them on their own website.<\/p>\n
