Jim James summed up my thoughts on this perfectly in the Rolling Stones article..

"Neil's premise is cool, and I think it's exciting as a traveling musician," My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James tells Rolling Stone. However, he adds a caveat: "I think that's somewhere that he has to be careful: I've already bought Aretha Franklin's 'Respect' a lot of times. Do I have to buy it again?"

If he could "wage a heavy peace" against the price of online music he will find more success. I don't argue albums are a great price these days digitally, but how many people will want to revamp their entire album line up?
Moving forward however with new releases, this is very exciting.
