According to a survey, made by Magex (online security and payment company), users are expecting that they have to pay for MP3s -- and they expect this change to come within next 18 months.
Users expect to pay an average of $0.83 per sample, $3.05 per single title and $12.89 for a monthly subscription. Numbers are slightly higher than industry has predicted to be the subscription price -- even Napster is speaking about 4.95 a month service.
Most interesting point in the survey is still the fact what users say is limiting their online music purchases -- a fear of credit card frauds.
