John Mayer's new As-Is exclusive deal with Apple is a bit scary. It's only available to download as an album. Not individual tracks.....any of em.



I thought Apple was completely against this. I hope this isnt the start of a pattern

    I won't be suprised to see this popping up more often. Apple will make certain "concessions" to get exclusive content.

    The policy was:

    At least one track in an album had to be downloadable. Exception: Songs over 7 minutes can be album only at any time.



    I think Apple realized how easy it was for record labels to get around this. A couple seconds of silence for 99 cents anybody? Pointless "commentary" clips? Unless Apple makes it a policy that all tracks have to be available as 99 cent downloads, the labels are going to start jumping on these weak policies anyway.
