But record companies will not have to lower their prices as long as people are downloading music illegally. Right now they can point at downloaded songs and say "that is money that we SHOULD have had". If people only downloaded the free and legal songs and did not purchase CDs they did not think were worth whatever the price, THEN companies would be forced to lower their prices.
It may not be fair to charge $30 for an album (you could always buy them used, though), but it IS legal. Copyright infringement is not.
