I think 10 pesos per song would be great! For 5 pesos per song then it should really be a crime to download
music =)

or how about 100 pesos prepaid card for 25 songs?

not bad for the consumers but how about the profit margin of the artist? record producer and the website
operator?

Pero considering the present market price of albums i think 15 pesos per song is the right amount. Pero 10 pesos might be ideal price to shift the market habit.. but for 5 pesos per song then people might just download songs for the sake of it being cheap =)

what do you guys think?

i think pinoys would prefer music free.

People generally would prefer freebies. But it wouldn’t be really fair to those who worked hard to offer such without being “justly” compensated somehow.

price of song should depend on it’s popularity… Mas mahal siguro kung sikat at maganda yung song…

Sure they downloaded for free over the years. But of the gigs of songs the downloaded, how many of those songs do they actually like and listen to?

A 10-20 peso range with special bulk prices for albums should do it. IMHO. For providing a legal, high quality copy of a song complete with the proper ID3 tags, in a platform that should be easy for one to search a particular song/album he likes, paying for that service alone is already worth the price of a song.

First they should make it very convenient to download. Ten pesos is okay. If you can afford an MP3 player or an MP3 phone, you can afford ten pesos per song. A thousand songs is ten thousand pesos. Not bad.

I read from yahoo news the other day that former RadioHead vocalist allow fans to download his new album at a price to be determined by the them. It is said fans can even download it without putting a price at his official album website.

It seems that this new model is effective so far for the artist. Amazingly naka $1.2million sold na daw yung album in mp3 format.

20-25php/song would be great for music chart toppers then 10php/song for non-popular songs.But I don’t believe that this will stop piracy in the whole country.

*-DRM should be included and implemented incase the project will be launched.

5 peso per song is the most practical. We are talking about mass economics here.

10 to 25 pesos a song seems viable in the Philippine internet economy.
