The New York Time reviews a few ways the labels are adapting to declining CD sales.
SMALLER DEALS. Instead of a six figure contract to create an album, artists are getting paid much less to create ringtones or a few songs for digital downloads. If those catch on, only then do they get a larger deal for the full CD.
BUY ONCE. PERIOD. A top consumer complaint is being forced to buy the same song twice (or more) when acquired in a new format. The labels are showing signs of flexibility. They are consenting to an Apple plan that would give a credit to iTunes buyers credit for downloads if they buy the album
ARTIST SUBSCRIPTIONS. A few labels are considering plans for artist subscription services. Subscribe to your favorite artists and you'll receive songs, videos, and other products and discounts over time.
