Think about it, bands X, Y and Z come out with new albums this month. The price to own those new discs would equate to $45 at Best Buy and $30 at iTunes. Through a site based upon the monthly fee methodology it would only cost you $10, plus you would have the opportunity to access anyone of there OTHER tracks in their library.
I would love to pay ONLY $10 a month for digital music. It would save me hundreds of dollars a year in music purchases.
Hmm, guess I just don't see that much new music worth listening to
To each his own I guess. I know for me, I have no intention of being beholden to the music companies for the rest of my life to pay for the privilege to listen to music :rolleyes:
As soon as you quit paying
you have nothing. The songs "expire" and you no longer have access to them. No thanks.
BTW - I haven't bought a CD at retail in years. I'll typically root through a pawn shop, a bargain bin or discount on line for a CD - I still prefer to have a CD to rip from. Like I said, I've bought a few things from iTunes, but other than extreme convenience, I don't find it too good of a deal. Napster even less - esp. looking at the songs they actually have in their catalog (iTunes and other music stores have this same issue as well).
