Universal Music Group (UMG) is making some much needed changes to their CD sales price point, but is it too little too late? UMG announced today they will be dropping the price of physical CD’s to $10 or less. The new price point will range from $6-$10 per album. Additionally, UMG plans to add “deluxe content” to actual CD’s – stuff you would not be able to get through a digital download.
I have been arguing that this change in price should happen for a few years now. I first pointed it out in an article I wrote a while back on illegal music downloading, you simply cannot have the same exact product in two distribution channels for different prices, especially since most people will choose the lower priced item. It’s also worth noting that digital downloads are so much more convenient for many people. Digital downloads are immediate, already on your computer for easy listening and transferring to your mobile device, and you don’t have to leave your home or wait for a CD to be delivered.
