This is going to be a subscription based service like Netscape and others trying in vain to compete with iTunes and CD's ripped to MP3s. The preloaded music is based on your subscription and will only be available if you pay the monthly subscription. So you won't own the music, you will only be licensing it on a monthly basis. Once you stop paying, you stop listening. I can't believe anyone would continue to pay each month for the priviledge to listen to music they would prefer to own and play when they choose. Go buy a CD or even purchase iTunes DRM music for a one time cost and play whenever you want. Even with iTunes at least you own it, you're just limited to where you can play it. CD's at least allow you to rip them to MP3 to put on an iPod or other MP3 player or shared throughout your homes musical network. In the article, Warner Music Chairman Edgar Bronfman Jr. said subscription services' "growth and popularity has been impacted by the lack of an outstanding device." No, it's not the device it's the fact that I don't own the music and can't fairly use it where I want at my own convenience. We are customers and usually customers want the convenience to use what they buy when, where and how it best fits into my world not according to how it fits into your little world. I mean if I buy a waffle maker, and I choose to use it in my car with the aid of a power inverter then so be it. If I want to try to make toast in it then it is mine and I can do that. If I want to let a friend borrow it, so they can try it out and see if they want to buy one I can do that. And get this, if I choose to take it apart (rip it) and use the parts to make something else I can it's mine. I can enjoy it at my convenience and in the way I choose to use it. And if I get tired of it, I can even choose to sell it or give it away to someone else. It's mine not yours!
