If I buy a CD at Wal-Mart – I'm paying $12 for the (max) 3 songs I like. So about $4 per song. Much better to spend $12 for 12 songs I like.

I think using 12 tracks per CD has more to do with the average cost of a CD being about $12.00. Not that the average CD has 12 tracks. Newer CDs' may run about $15 but most older ones are less than $10. And many wait for a newer CD to go on sale for $11.99 or less before they buy it. Thus someone spending $12 for 12 songs on iTunes is about the same as someone buying a CD at WalMart.

Interesting about that footnote. Digital Daily reports that "8 of Wal-Mart’s 10 top-selling CDs contain more than 12 tracks, including one that boasts 22."
