There's talk about bringing that in, but it hasn't happened yet. The price is dictated somewhat by the publisher, they get a choice of low, medium or high price from the distributor. Some go low to encourage more sales, some go high to try to make as much as poss from low sales. That's why you see tracks of various prices, it also depends on the retailer, for instance the price band we choose, tracks are sold on amazon for 69p but the same track is 79p on itunes, that's the vendor choosing the price not us. If we chose the high band then our tracks could be over £1
