The Big 5 Are Slow, But Trying To Catch Up This summer, Universal plan to sell tens of thousands of high-quality digital singles for 99 cents or less and albums for $9.99 through online retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy and Sam Goody. Sony will start a similar service priced at $1.49 a song. The new services suggest that Universal and Sony no longer will handicap their online music business for fear of eating into CD sales, which have been the industry's lifeblood. Neither service will have secure file formats. The revolution will be burned!!!
