Thats pretty much 20 songs a month x 12 months = 240 songs a year yours to keep on itunes or downloading from amazon etc. and no dissapearing act later on.
 
It's trying to go on a name nobody cares about anymore. And, DRM + loss after quitting your subscription? There are much better deals out there.

To me it just sounds like an expensive way to test out music you've never heard before. Hah, and, well, we have Youtube that does it for free, sometimes with MVs too. Screw this.

I'll be buying from iTunes still.
 
Lol kazaa for $20/mo no thanks, it was even bad when it was $0/mo. Some of their apps were loaded with malware back in those days and one would have to find the lite version and hope it wasn't a trojan horse itself. I didn't realize kazaa even went down. Like piratebay, I don't really use kazaa any more.
 
lol @ people who liked limewire. that's like the AOL of file sharing (aka army of lamers in this case). I remember searching it a while back and finding a plethora of fake files and possibly packaged trojans. That's one that I barely even gave a chance to use due to that.

Maybe that's the theory behind it, but I don't think the neflix model will work for music. We've always rented videos, we've never rented music.
 
Is there even a market left for Kazaa legit service? Between iTunes, Zune Marketplace, Rhapsody, and Napster, I doubt Kazaa will catch on. Plus good ol' Limewire is still out there, as is torrent networks.
 
A couple years ago I bought a month subscription to Bearshare for $8 or $12 (cant recall) ANYHOW the reason I did this was for the ability to download full albums.

In one week, I legally downloaded 10,000 songs. I cancelled my membership and began converting the songs which were all DRM free.

The conversion process took over a week 24/7 on a quad machine.

Next I placed those 10,000 songs on my external HDD and formatted my machine to get rid of the JUNK left behind by Bearshare.

Voila hella music!
