dave95: There can't be 2 models?
The labels can use MS subscription model as an excuse not to push DRM-Free music

You can't envision the possibility that the labels will sell DRM free music but rent DRM protected music? Wait, it is happening right now. I can buy DRM free music from Amazon or I can rent that exact same music from Rhapsody. Your fears are entirely unjustified since current news is simply and elegantly proving you wrong.

Jobs is smart not to implement the same subscription model, because doing so will kill all talks about DRM-Free music.

What? Jobs isn't interested in a subscription model because right or wrong, he doesn't think he can make much money doing it. Once again, current reality completely contradicts what you are suggesting. Jobs, right now offers 2 models: DRM free music for those who want to pay a bit more and DRM encrusted music for those who want to pay a bit less.
