Poll: Digital Music, How do you Roll?
Posted by Chris Leckness on 07/25/08 in Mobilitysite Polls
In light of a post I caught on PPCT today, I figure this would make for a good conversation. Before I ask the question, the article on PPCT is about Yahoo Music shutting their doors. I won’t speculate, but could it have something to do with Microsoft trying to buy Yahoo and having it’s own all you can eat music store? Any, Ed Hansberry reports that Yahoo Music users got an email stating that they were shutting down and their DRM licenses would expire September 30, 2008.
I love the concept of renting music. Sure there are albums you want to have forever and ever, but really, how many times can you listen to Shania Twain’s Up CD? Really. So I opt for the all you can eat plans that cost ~ $15.00/mo, that way I can download all I want, keep what I like and try some new stuff next month. I used Yahoo Music for 2 years before jumping into the Zune Pass all you an eat plan. In fact, Just yesterday there was a little Twitter buzz about how cool the Zune Pass is.
Loading …Don’t worry, If you steal music, I won’t tell. Your votes are counted but they don’t register against a user name, so you can be honest.

I rip every CD I buy so I have a digital copy for devices/backups. I’ve also used an “all you can eat” type plan on URGE/Rhapsody in the past which was nice. If I’m not using subscription music, I will go the Amazon route since they’re cheap and DRM free.
I use the Zune Pass also. I have an 80 GB and my dad has a 30 so were always downloading music.
