I am never averse to simple truths.
Not a single MS product has intruded my life for several years now, and I hope it stays that way. They just do not feel good.
On topic, I would say that more choice is always good, but sadly choice and MS in one sentence make an antagonism. It it not that DRMd to the brink WMA would not count as an option, I think there are even people who like the idea, whyever; but sadly, whatever MS touches runs out of choice in a very short time.
I am not in the position to tell anyone what to choose, but I think I have the right to pity those who make a decision that I feel is wrong.
I personally am not the download-listener at all, I do not see me paying almost the same price for compressed music with no real medium. I would much rather pay for internet-radio-streams of categories I like, or digital satellite radio, just because it would mean that I would be presented with new music without the hassle of having to choose / search for it myself. It's not that I'm lazy or sth....
I think any of these subscripition things just suck money, whether you use them or not, and I am satisfied with the iTMS 30secs for now when pre-testing albums I intend to buy.
