I know, I know, buying from the iTunes Music Store is easy, convenient and so on… But it can be quite a rip off at times too.
Take Bonobo’s Days to Come album for example. I was about to buy it on the Canadian iTMS when I saw the price: CDN $17.82. I thought to myself: betcha Ninja Tune will have this for sale. And wouldn’t you know, they sure do.
Not only was the album much cheaper (£4 ☛ CDN $6.50) but it also came as 320kbps MP3s instead of 128kbps AACs and included 7 instrumental tracks to boot.
There you have it. Sometimes, it pays to run a Google search before one-click-buying music off of iTunes.
