Re Voska...perhaps that's an advantage of my age
I already know being close to 45 of hundreds of songs that I like and unlike
movies or TV shows I usually want to hear music I like over and over again.
Almost never watch the same thing twice not too mention multiple
times....Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh. Can't stand that for some reason. However where
music is concerned I currently have close to 700 songs on my iPod and I know I
like each and everyone of em. I play it always on shuffle mode as I walk to work.
Knowing that there will not be a time where I dislike what I hear. As for sampling
well there are still plenty of sources out there including that's to the iPods other
people have with their collections of songs chances for me to sample and find new
stuff.

So for me sampling is not worth $15.00 a month since I can so that for free fairly
easily and I already have a wealth of music I know I like and have pruchased. So
the sample feature of subscription has a very limited value. Where the ownership
alternative has a great deal of appeal to me cause I'd hate to pay over and over
again to listen to my fav's on subscrition when I can pay once and be done with it.
