SOUND OFF: Would You Pay $10/ Month for Unlimited Music?
Rhapsody Drops Price on Unlimited Streaming Music to $10 Per Month
@RHAPSODY
Yesterday, popular music streaming service reduced the cost of its unlimited listening plan from $15 to $10 per month in an effort to increase signups and become profitable by the end of the year. To bolster excitement, the company also just launched apps for for Android smartphones to accompany the iPhone version with a BlackBerry app on the way.
But is anyone paying attention? With the internet still an unregulated frontier, illegal downloads are still very much the norm. Legal Download and streaming services promise better customer experiences, safe browsing free of malware and most importantly LEGAL music. But is Rhaposdy wasting their time trying to get you to pay for music?

yup.
I would, due to a dual catastrophe I recently encountered where my computer crashed and later my ipod deleted itself. I took a “by any means necessary” approach to get back the some 15000 songs I had on my ipod, but alas, there are some albums that aren’t available for purchase or for illegal download. If those rare finds were avilable, I would be more than happy to pay a measly 10 bucks.
who still pays for music lol
I just don’t like computer viruses AT ALL so I’m very careful with torrents. I don’t download music but for $10/ month its worth the thought of using the service no?
go to hotnewhiphop.com for the tracks it doent use torrentz and livemixtapes.com i dont use torrentz.go to moviefather.com for the movies of course you gotta find a good copy.but you can preview movies
If you stay connected to the internet that much, then it makes total sense. $10 isn’t a bad price for an unlimited plan.
Um.. that’s 120 USD a year basically 11 albums.That’s not as good as it sounds and you are only gettting the shit in a digital form.That’s a lot of money.Now add the VAT and and you will shell around 150 USD a year.That’s mucho.
Rhapsody could have tried this formuala in 2001. If they plan to go ahead with this. They will need to give ipod nanos as “gift”.
nope.
Will take my chances with torrents until the internet gets regulated.
NO!
