Music companies are now releasing original MP3 versions of new album releases like 'Dhoom 2' and 'Vivah' alongside traditional CDs to combat piracy and boost sales. These MP3s offer more songs at half the price, including additional hits from the respective production houses.
Guess how are music companies working together to combat music piracy and decreasing sales of music albums? By coming up with original MP3s of the latest albums along with the regular music CDs.
The latest to add the list are the MP3s of 'Dhoom 2' and 'Vivah' that have really set the sales rolling for the two films. Marked at half the regular price of an original music CD and comprising of 40-50 songs at an average, they are a double delight for the listener since they come with numerous other hits from the production houses.
While 'Vivah' boasts of dozens of other Rajshri hits apart from the songs of 'Vivah', 'Dhoom 2' enhances the bouqet by including songs from YRF hits like 'Bunty Aur Babli', 'Salaam Namaste', 'Veer Zaara', 'Neal N Nikki' and many more.
A few weeks back 'Dance Masti Forever' too came in a MP3 version and has been a big hit since then. One just hopes that the trend continues with many more forthcoming albums too.
