Wow, this is so amazing, for her new album, Jane Siberry lets you decide how much to pay for a song.
She has five different categories:
- A gift from artist: $0
- Standard price: $0.99
- Self-determined, pay now
- Self-determined, pay later
- MEDIA/PROMO
For the Self-determined, she shows the average price paid by other people, and you can choose your own price.
So cool, quite often she actually makes more money than she would on iTunes:
The current pricing statistics listed at the site:
18% Gift from Artist
18% Standard
05% Pay Now
58% Pay Later
Avg Price/Song $1.17
07% Paid Below Suggested
80% Paid At Suggested
14% Paid Above Suggested
This is so cool, the record companies are going down, and we are going to have more music than ever. For those musicians out there, like me, it will be easier to actually make money being a musician, without selling your soul to the music companies.
