Studio recorded popular music is usually made of several overlaid tracks. I propose that the tracks be made available for purchase separately. They would be inexpensive - maybe 25 cents. One could get a discount if he or she had already purchased the entire song.
This would produce added revenue
from old songs that mixmeisters / Garagebandits might want for parts. It would also be interesting for songsmiths who could learn how a musical piece was assembled.

I would pay real cash money fractions of a track cost to buy fractions of a track. Lovely. |

Much as I'd love this to happen, the record companies would not; much like big software companies not wanting to give away their source code. |

You don't think this would help squeeze some revenue out of the older items in their inventory? |

No, they clearly prefer to squeeze revenue
out of gullible customers. It's easier, and the
supply of idiots is for all practical purposes
limitless. |

Why not sell tracks on a second-by-second or
note-by-note basis? |
