***Music industry insiders who view iTunes $0.99 per tune pricing
as an
annoying ceiling, might instead be wise to thank Steve Jobs for making
it a floor... the "single-price" model prevents the music industry
from
cutting its own throat via price competition.

Its worse than that for the music industry as there is unauthorized but apparently legal (at least for the moment) price competition. Take a look at http://www.allofmp3.com. Tracks from over 25,000 albums available in a wide variety of user-selectable encoding formats and data rates priced at $0.02/MB.
