This also means that albums (alba?) cost 1,299 cents, rather than the traditional 999 cents. This is totally fucked, and it makes me mad, because the reason I buy shit on iTunes is that I don't have to pay 13 dollars, like I would at the record store.
Here is a photographic example of the wacksauce new policy, using Paper Trail as exhibit Aaayyyyy:
Needless to say, this makes me mad, because I used to think the iTunes store was like the most perfect entity on earth, but now it's just another cash-hungry corksoaking money-sucker. Now I'm going to have to pay 3 dollars more, and if I do that 10 times, that's an extra 30 dollars, which is like 3 Bennett's subs. Christ jesus, iTunes is taking away our Bennett's!!!!!iTunes "Plus" - Really shitty
PS, Why is "On Top of the World" the only song that doesn't cost 129 cents? What is so bad about that song? I would argue that it's one of the top 4 on the album, and yet iTunes thinks that it's the worst. Poor B.o.B.

essentially the record companies raised their costs and either apple could take on the costs themselves or raise their prices, the first option would literally make itunes nonprofit-able for apple. Here a useless website that doesnt really say that:
