They don't need to compete with iTunes necessarily. All they have to do is have is a launch page to safely download the launched album (virus free etc).<br/><br/>No one is going to care about the state of the site if they can have speedy high quality download.<br/><br/>Competition between agencies isn't necessarily a bad thing, if it results in lowered prices.<br/><br/>But even still, apple aren't doing too badly at the moment, and their prices are agreeable for the most part. (At least for individual songs).<br/><br/>As long as Steve Jobs is around, but who knows what will happen to apple if he ever decides to retire.

Competition between agencies isn’t necessarily a bad thing, if it results in lowered prices.

But even still, apple aren’t doing too badly at the moment, and their prices are agreeable for the most part. (At least for individual songs).

I think itunes takes a percentage and then the rest goes to whoever, depending on how contracts are drawn up, so for those who put their heart and souls into it can rest easier, and a little bit more comfortably. <br/><br/>Although that brings up the point that Apple are going to be at the forefront of the digital revolution, and I don't really trust them all that much to do whats right by people.

Sounds fun but I still think the net and full digital releases are the way of the future.
