If the quality was good enough though, and I could cancel at any point (which I'm guessing probably wouldn't be the case) then it might actually work out cheaper then paying per song from vendors such as iTunes.

Would the files be downloaded to a PC or Laptop?
Can I burn a CD from those files?
If I download to a PC, can I transfer them to another HDD, ipod or my mobile phone and play them there too?

all formats that can be played back as audio can be burned to CD, transferred to a phone, uploaded, downloaded, mixed, squashed and just about anything else you want to do to them. Basically, if you can hear it then it's possible to make it into any format you choose.
Anyway, I think the formats are a detail that would be sorted out at a later date. For the sake of the question, an example site has been quoted. Just base the formats on the ones in there for the hypothetical model.

I get the whole "music in the background from lots of artists" thing from streaming content - either traditional radio stations, or online streams - and wouldn't ever expect to pay for this at the point of use (obviously I pay for a broadband connection, listen to adverts if they are there, and pay for a TV licence which funds BBC radio stations, so I realise it's not totally free).

Quote from: snozboz There isn't a button for "I don't want to download music by subscription (and lose the music when I stop subscribing). I'd rather buy the music I want for a one-off price, and be able to use it forever on whatever device."
Ditto 100%. FWIW I have heard of a service which works by subscription yet allows one to keep their downloads once it's expired, but I'm not sure which service it is... I think it might be Nokia's new thing which they intend to combine in to the cost of a new mobile, although I might be thinking of something else altogether. But yes, I want to own my music, not rent it. I am, however, not against purchasing DRM tracks from iTunes as I use an iPod, although as I mostly buy classical music I often opt for the CD as they can be cheap (Naxos CDs can be found for £4-£5), and come with useful liner notes.

I'm not against DRM tracks as such, but I am against those from iTunes as I don't wish to be tied in to an overpriced and overrated MP3 player.

And on Sundays I could share him with all the Plusnet customers by getting him to sing down my router. Do you think Plusnet would pay towards his keep if I offered this service?

I'd donate if you took song requests.
