Before Purchasing an individual song, I would like to be able to view it's length. Putting the length right after the song title, might work, or maybe just as another column next to the song title. I see no options for this in the music store. |

This can especially be a problem for songs that have short lengths. For example, In "Illinois" by Sufjan Stevens, there are several sub-30 second songs, such as "One last 'Whoo-hoo' for the Pullman." A customer of this service could be very disappointed when downloading a $.77 song that only lasts for 6 seconds. This becomes a quality issue, especially since 7 digital's website lists the song lengths on it's download page. Another problem this would solve would be the otherwise inexplicable differences in prices of songs with long lengths, such as the song "The Island" in "The Crane Wife" by The Decemberists. It is $1.79 because it is a three-part longer song, and most of the other songs on the album are $.99 because they are shorter. Although this may seem like a minor issue from a technical standpoint, this issue needs to be resolved before the Karmic release in order to keep a good quality of service with the customer.
In order to make more room for the new song length column, it might be beneficial (and maybe even necessary) to move the Album cover art and corresponding information from a column left of the song titles, to a row above all of the song titles. This would make room for the song lengths, and increase the room for song titles. |
