Remember the CD single ? It’s old, the DVD single is hot!

13 Feb 03 17:59 by in category Uncategorized



Ali used our newssubmit to tell us that Launch.com reports that a new product will hit the shelves, the DVD single. Instead of the CD single, that is sold less and less, the DVD single contains video, photos and additional information about the artist.



Fans of Avril Lavigne, Pink, and Clipse will soon have a new way of getting close to the artists. Arista Records has announced that it will release DVD singles from these artists, each including two music videos, a photo gallery, and an electronic press kit.

Avril Lavigne’s DVD single will contain the videos for “I’m With You” and “Sk8er Boi.” Pink’s “Family Portrait” and “Don’t Let Me Get Me” appear on her DVD single, while Clipse’s DVD single features “Grindin’” and “When The Last Time.”

The discs will be sold starting March 11th, if you want to know at what price then read the entire story here.

All three DVD singles will be sold separately beginning March 11, each with a suggested retail price of $7.98.

$4.99? I think $1.99 would be pushing it. Once again, the industry will bring out a new item at a ridiculously high price (and if it's anything like CD singles, it will be very prone to shoplifting or chargeback due to opened items in store), then when sales of it tank, they will blame it on P2P and piracy. Not to mention no material worth buying in the first place.

$7.98 A dvd single! why not $3.00 for a downloadable audio single? That pricing of a dvd single is something the "RIAA" would be proud of and i wonder if this is the gimmick to stop people from using "those" p2p apps :4

I LIKE DVD singles, but this is nothing new... I have 3 of Sum41's. It's nice to get the video with the music, I hope they bring out some cheap back-catalogue ones.

quote: the DVD single contains video: some cd singles also contain videos, like one of the cartigans songs had the video clip on the cd, which could be played on pcs. but I guess the dvd will allow better video quality. although, such a video clip is just 3 min. long, so there should be enough space on the cd for that too, in best quality. anyway, I still wouldn't buy such a dvd. you can get everything you want from kazaa in best quality. downloaded a song by holly valance, but because I also liked the video (holly valance naked :9), I also got the videos from fasttrack, both live and the standard mtv video clips, in best mpeg and mpeg2 quality. there are many videos and wav files in best quality on fasttrack, e.g. Avril Lavigne's I'm With You video, so it's cheaper and easier to download them. it takes half an hour to go shopping to buy a dvd, while it takes only 15 min. to download a 80 mbs video file or a 40 mbs audio file
