Ive read that the mp3 quality was sub-standard so perhaps I should have paid less. However, Radiohead is probably my favorite band, so I wanted to support their effort in this unusual release. That said, I was kind of disappointed with the new songs.. Can I get a partial refund for that reason alone? :D I paid $15 US..

I'm interested in this, not from the music point of view, but how do you price something (a)that doesn't exist in a physical form and (b) is going to be worth wildly different amounts for different people.

This is slightly more than what I recently paid for The Bends on Amazon's new MP3 service but I figured it's newer so should cost more. whatever. I really like the fact that it's in an unrestricted MP3 format and hope Radiohead is setting a trend. I paid £6, which was about $12.99 USD, the price I would typically pay for an album.

I reckon this is a shade more than they would take from a label on a per unit sale. More to the point I wanted to reward the highly creative approach, next time I'd pay less but ultimately would buy more music. N. £4.27.

You can always pay the lowest amount now and if you like it buy it again. If you don't like it then don't. But getting the files illegally the first time isn't great for anybody.

Zero, Zilch. I pondered a while. $8 for a cd in a shop? what percentage would they usually get? $1 is lucky? and after i thought about that i decided to just get it free as its mp3 so not the quality that you would get from physical media. I'll listen to it now and buy it later. Hrmm Zip. Zero, Zilch.

One, because I want to back Radiohead´s initiative. Two, because that would be the price as it was released as CD in my country. By the way, I live in Rio, Brazil, which is a third world country.

I'm not blown away - yet. I can still remember the shock and awe of OK Computer and The Bends was a wonderfully crafted album. I even liked a lot of what they've done since then. And now that they've gradually returned to recording things that can can be described as songs again, well, they need to be very very good to explain why they were 'away' all this time. That said, I think it will sink in deeper. There are some great moments, and I like Strange Fish/Arpeggi and Nude a lot. £10stg.
