I wouldn't say that's a standard price for a song, especially when compared to prices of music on standard media. As I said, the quality of downloaded music is lower than on CD (even with really high MP3 bitrates), there's no booklet and other types of media the artist/record company decides to put on the CD (like a video or a photo gallery) is lost. That's why I don't think that's a good price for on-line music. iTunes sells music for $0.99 per song, WalMart for $0.88. Allofmp3.com sells songs for $0.09, but the legality of the service in countries other than Russia is questionable. All of these services are cheaper than Fonoteka. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I believe that these prices can (and should) be lower, when all the factors are taken in concern.

Realisticly, some songs there are worth even less, but 1 euro is probably a standard price for a single song. What did you expect? 20 cents for a song?

I hope that all the negative feedback will only make them do something about it. I'd love to see a similar, nicely implemented service on the Croatian web. Cheers!

Only way out is to lower the prices and get friendly with blogers:) Cheers! Nice review,
