- gojomo 16y agoPeople like choosing their music -- or at least, the 'anchors' around which a service like Pandora build playlists. Here there's no evidence even of what artists/genres are possible. So the idea people would pay a premium over other rental services -- like Pandora or Napster -- seems farfetched. For your lowest yearly cost ($30*12=$360), someone could own an iPod touch and yearlong "Napster+mobile" subscription.
- zarcher 16y agoThanks for the feedback. Regarding choosing one's own music, the service is really geared towards those who would prefer someone else to do the work of finding and sending them new music within genres of their choice, when they want it. Quality of music is also important to the target audience. With Napster or other web based rental services, quality is "far less than pristine CD quality" (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/iphone-gems-napster-and-rhapsody/ http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/iphone-ge...). With movingTunes, you get 256kbps, CD quality music. So the main selling points as I see them are: convenience and quality. Point taken about the library browsing, am looking at options. Meanwhile, I publish library updates via Twitter and Facebook.
