A Question That Could Cost Me Money

Posted April 21, 2007 By Dave Thomer

Does anyone happen to know why so few soundtrack songs are available as single tracks from services like Rhapsody and iTunes? There are quite a few tracks that my favorite artists have contributed to various soundtracks over the years and I haven’t quite been willing to pay the full album price for one sing. (Matthew Sweet had a great track on the Can’t Hardly Wait track called “Farther Down” that I’ve been looking for for years, ever since I gave up Napster.) As it is I gotta hope that the artist puts together a greatest-hits or b-sides compilation to try and track it down.

Ah well. Probably not an awful thing that I’m saving a few bucks this way. iTunes is already a vacuum.
