Called it! iTunes LP is DOA

Gizmodo is announcing Time of Death for the iTunes LP.
Everything I said when it was announced still holds true as much as it did half a year ago.
iTunes LP (possibly Cocktail) fails
The final reason this won’t work is that it doesn’t solve the core reason that people online only buy music a track at a time. People are sick of 2-3 good tracks and 10 “filler tracks” that are unwanted.
For getting people to buy LP’s instead of individual tracks EVERY full album purchase on iTunes should come like this by default at the normal album price. This is what iTunes should have been doing from the get-go to entice us into putting up with those 10 filler tracks. As a more expensive version of an normal track only album it’s not worth it.
