Record Companies Starting to Shun iTunes

Markham, I'm not sure how you are getting to your conclusion, but I can tell you that it's about the survival of the fittest. If the music labels, cannot adapt, then they will surely be extinct.

There is absolutely no way, that people are going to buy more albums simply because iTunes if forced to sell only albums. That will only take us back to full piracy.

As FreeRange mentions, this article cannot be trusted as it is very obvious that the numbers are incorrect. There is no way that the cost of manufacturing a CD is lower than placing the song on Apples servers. I place the cost of a CD at no less than $.50 for the CD ONLY, no inserts, which ALL CDs have. The cost of a complete CD delivered to the store has to be in $1.50 each, and that leave other expenses that FreeRange mentions. Just look it up on line if you wish.

Can the author prove that even 7% of all albums that cannot be purchased as individual songs on iTunes will actually be purchased as an entire album sale on itunes or at a store?

Perhaps, the labels didn't learn their lesson the first time, I suggest they pull all the albums from iTunes and see where the cookie crumbles this time.

This guys is either a complete Fruitcake or he's intentionally instigating everyone to write about the most hilarious sense of reality I have ever read.

Is Apple TV a Viable Replacement?

The ATV is simply meant to do what it does for the price it commands. Anything else, would put it in the MacMini category, where you can do EVERYTHING you asked for. That's what I have connected to the 65" LCD and it rocks.
