Would you use a service like itunes?

[illusion88]

If it was available for the PC I mean. Would you pay for the ability to download music. I was thinking about it. I would. I would pay $10 a month if I was able to get a fast connection (over a meg a second, would prefer 1.5) and high bitrates (192 is all I need but higher would be nice). Also there would have to be a very wide and extensive selection of music available. If it was fast and reliable, I may be persuaded into $15 a month but it would have to be danm good, unlimited downloads or something close to it (like 2 gigs a day or something). Would anyone else do this?

yes

iTunes doesn't charge by the month, it charges by the song CD. The thing your describing is very different than iTunes.

No. Why pay for what you can get for free? I buy albums from groups I like, and everything else I have is just faddy music that I generally like for a few months and then move on from.

Will you use Apple's music download service?

 

[Kadarin]

I think the price is still too high and the selection too limited. In addition, there are still DRM issues. I would want a format that would play on any device, not just an iPod (for example, in the cd player in my car), and I want unrestricted transfer from machine to machine.

yes, as long as the money goes to the artists and not their pockets.

Even if it was some kind of monthly charge?
I would. Only because I would like to be able to get everything in good quality and have it all consistant. Especially if it was easy to use. kazaa and winmx just dont do it for me. I use them because I'm poor and can't buy as many CD's as I would like. I spend all my money going to local shows. To each his own.

yup - i see where you're coming from, i just have more time to waste finding quality mp3s plus, i'm a HS student, and i dont have really reliable income, so i'm not usually good with scheduled payments.

yes, for half the price. 99 cents a track is almost as much as a CD, and Apple's overhead must be huge

 

[WinkOsmosis]

Yes I would.
