>>So far I have yet to convince anyone I know that renting music is a good idea<< For now, the appeal of subscription services appears to be small. In an Internet poll late last year of more than 300 owners of portable music players, research firm Parks Associates asked how many would be willing to pay $10 a month for a music service that included portability. A mere 8% said they would be likely users. [Do most want to rent or own their home? Same idea.] >>These same folks are more than willing however to pay $12.95 a month (yes it's going up) for XM satellite radio<< But doesn't satellite radio offer more than just music. If I were a subscriber, and I'm not, I would probably tune in more for talk, sports, etc. and listen to my iPod for music. Bill
