iPod Yahoo! doubles the price of music service

So if you were locked in with the subscription, you'd either have to give up your music, or pay the extra fee.

hahah! I wish i knew someone who was using that service. I would laugh at them very hard.
A prime example of why subscription services suck.

Hmm?

Anyway. It's still cheaper than Apple's subscription service.

Are you searching for a previous thread? I've looked. It might be one of the MacByte articles.

Basically, it's a bait and switch. 😀

Haha, my instant reaction was 'Repost!' but when I went back and found previous threads, they linked to different articles... so I thought I'd just let this go. But apparently soooome of you can't let me just back down. 😱

I feel like Yahoo is doing a great job advertising the merits of purchased music vs. a subscription model. I mean, I get scared every time Apple updates the iTMS agreement and I have to agree to it to keep using iTunes, but I continue to own the music. It would seriously suck to get priced out of your subscription and lose access to everything..... 🙁

Basically like cable television, the evil circle where there only way to show increasing profits is to raise prices -- because their number of users aren't growing fast enough. 😛
