Not much unlike the other services out there, such as Rhapsody.

Why? MP3's aren't nearly as good as AAC files, and at the advertised bitrate, AAC will not only sound better, but take up less disk space.
This may be exciting news. Hopefully they offer a trial. It may be my answer to getting Napster to work with my iPod!
pretty good deal, unlimited downloads for a year i like i guess people with like 500GB of downloads a month could download like nearly the whole catalogue in a year lol
bad thing is i dont have a credit card and its not going to take gift cards :(

I like the idea of a subscription service, I'm sure I will download a lot more music than I do now. However having read other articles on the matter, the subscription service doesn't seem as straight forward as it is made out to be in this piece. If you found this article interesting you will want to read what The Music Void's Jakomi Mathews has to say about itunes entering the music subscription market.
