I laud what they're trying to do, whether they're the first to do it to the 50th. Ultimately there's no reason why there shouldn't be a thriving marketplace in self-published music. The market can decide whether a band is worth 25 cents or $10 per track. However, Radiohead's experiment will surely fizzle if they can't get their shopping cart and security mechanisms to work. Maybe they're overloaded but three tries later I seem to have failed. I set my price at $4 or about three times their former royalty. For a band with their size following I think that's more than fair.
