Subscription music services are my preferred way of consuming music. I had a Zune subscription for over two years (eventually cancelled when I lost my Zune and just started using my iPhone... Zune's big weakness was its hardware exclusivity), and I signed up for Spotify premium as soon as I could. I like sub models because I am paying for music, I can get whatever music I want (almost... bands like Arcade FIre don't license their music to these services I've found) whenever I want, and the actual data is well-manicured in terms of metadata.
- whopa 15y agoRdio has Arcade Fire. Strange that Spotify doesn't.... But yeah, I agree, subscription music services are the future. The holdouts (Beatles, Metallica, AC/DC, etc.) will eventually license their stuff, otherwise their fan base will erode. I already think that their tardiness to the digital download party has hurt them already.
