Yesterday we reported that the Financial Times was claiming that there was talk of an unlimited subscription to the iTunes Store in the works and that the only catch would be a premium on the price of iPods and other mobile Apple products.
According to Business Week however, the claims are largely unfounded although there have been talks for an iTunes subscription model being floated ... [ read the full article ]

I guess if its too good to be true it probably is. However, as I stated earlier if I could get the music DRM-Free I would be more than happy to pay the premium.
I've never bought anything from iTunes/other online music shops, and you could probably count the number of tracks I've pirated on one hand, but an unlimited DRM free subscription would be a real temptation...
To highlight the whole subject here on iTunes and iPods, such a frustrating discuss. They should not put out a product that will take but, not give back. If they aren't doing enough research on the product to make sure it is compatable with a PC then don't put it out there without knowing the product itself. To get the updates to my iPod was a 2 hour job then download iTunes upgraded to the lastest verzion was any better cuz nothing worked anyways. And what really fried my buns after 4-5 hours of reading and searching Apple products, finally something looked like a go. Okay so, iTunes made a copy of all my 3,500 + songs. 2 copies of that space taking up, no problem I can deleate all the ones in my folder now that I put them into iTunes and save space on my computer...least to say I lost every song I had on my computer and now I can't get back my songs from iTunes. Let me please remind you that I am not stupid when it comes to computers. ("Apple" works with "Apple") and is NOT stable with PC, although they say it is. AppleiTunes has a compleate different song format that you can not get converted back. Rumors or not, despite my huge library that took many years to build not a temptation to ever have anything to do with unstable, mislead, products that sound so appealing to buy. If anyone knows something I don't please let me know...
All they had to say was "Fix the problem and buy an Apple computer." So, for all yense looking into updating your iPods and iTunes with a "PC" or buying "beware". And good luck to you!
