I really like the movie A Mighty Wind, including the music, and I'd like to purchase the soundtrack, but I haven't seen it around here, and I never remember to add it to a mail order from Amazon or wherever.

For the longest time, the album wasn't available on the iTunes Music Store, but a month or so ago, it appeared as linked above - but I can't buy the album. I can only buy individual songs.

Now I'm an adult, so I'm not one to cry if I can't get a $17 album for $10 through the iTunes Music Store. However, there are 17 tracks on the album, and every place online that's selling it is doing so for less than $14. Here's Amazon's current price:

I'm just fine with purchasing music with the light restrictions Apple imposes, but I'm really not going to pay more to get restricted music than I'd pay to get the unrestricted CD, and so I do without. I live with the restrictions of digital music because it's cheaper and more convenient. When it's neither, I have no trouble passing.

Maybe I'll just get the songbook and play the damn stuff myself.
