But I think the bigger picture is that this iterative, and that Apple has been heading this way for a bit: The App Store, for instance, has always had different price points for iPhone/iTouch programs, and no one's ever said boo about it. Along the same lines, the movie/TV store has always offered different packages (episode vs. season, etc).

Might this record-company packaging have something to do with Apple's deal with the record companies (more obviously revealed in the tiered pricing)? And might Apple's lack of marketing clarity be reflective of them not being that enthusiastic about this offering; which is more of a concession than an Apple-backed product? Hmmm.
