Kirk McElhearn talks about how we listen to music and a future of unlimited music for subscribers:
The way we listen to music changed when, after decades of coming from needles in grooves, it went digital. Now that digital music is mature, the next step is to disembody it entirely and stick it on central servers somewhere. No more will we need to worry about what to put on our iPods; someday soon, we’ll have an unlimited choice of music—for a monthly fee—wherever and whenever we want it.
I don’t see this happening anytime soon because I can’t imagine an affordable subscription model that would allow for unlimited choice and still generate revenue for Apple to be profitable and still pay the record labels.
