Further Annoyance…
It occurred to me today – if I buy a CD and the iTunes Music Store has a version with “Exclusive Tracks!” it only costs $0.99 apiece to get the tracks I’m missing. When I buy an iTunes album and I’m missing tracks, I have to pay the full price for the CD to get the tracks I’m missing.
Then I checked out some of the albums with exclusive tracks on the iTMS. Guess what?
You can only get the exclusive tracks if you buy the entire album from iTunes. They aren’t available as single-track downloads.
So if I buy an album on CD and the iTMS has exclusive tracks, I have to pay $9.99 to get them. If I buy an iTMS download and it’s missing tracks (see previous entry), I have to buy the CD at full price.
Hm.
You know what? I’d rather have the tracks I’m supposed to have than get an occasional exclusive track.
