Music hardware...why is this good?

I just read an article about a new music player idea. To summarize, they are planning to have a subscription service, with software from Microsoft that makes the song no longer available if the subscription is cancelled.

I'm confused...why would people want this, when Apple offer .99 music downloads?
 
The subscription will be a lot lower cost than buying the songs.

Right now both Napster and Rhapsody offer this kind of server for PCs, for $10/month. You can listen to an unlimited number of tracks on your PC for the flat $10, you just can't burn CDs or copy the tracks to a player (without buying them like from iTunes). If you want to listen to more than 10 new songs a month it's a good deal.

I use Napster to listen to full CDs before deciding whether to buy. If I like them enough I buy the CD and rip to lossless FLAC for my music server, and MP3 for my Zen Xtra portable.
