iTunes unveils "Compete My Album" service

Apple today initiated a new service for its iTunes digital music platform. Under the new plan, if you buy an individual track and then decide to buy the full album, you can use that 99 cents you already paid towards the album. Previously, if you purchased an album but already owned some of the songs, the existing songs would not even be downloaded.

You'll have up to 180 days after you purchase a track to get the album discount.


Yeah, it sounds nice, but isn't the whole point of buying individual tracks the fact that you don't care anything about the other songs on the album? I'm not sure how many people will actually take advantage of this.
