I recently bought an ipod and now i am severly regreting it. I have now realized that ipod’s are not compatible with any of the current subrscription service providers. If apple doesn’t come out with their own subscription, then i’m selling my ipod.

I really hope Apple goes to a subscription model. I currently have 3 Ipods in my house, and 2 Macs, however I also have a Zen Micro, a subscription to Yahoo! Music service, and an XP PC. I would love to ditch the Micro and the XP PC, but I’m not paying 1 dollar per song for all songs, and 30 second previews don’t cut it. If Apple would come up with this model, I would be an Apple only customer.

Mr. Wenger, there’s so much audio out there to discover. Unfortunately people don’t have the budget to explore and take chances on hearing a whole album just to decide do I really want this thing on my ipod. Its hard not to be an Apple fan; the store’s ease of use purchasing application is pure cream. But I do understand your frustration with iTunes for not adding a subscription service to your owned and purchased ipod; a deeper added value it would be. Maybe you should email Apple as an avid die-hard fan and say, hey–look, guys, if you
want to stay in the portable device business, you’d better start servicing my investment with the “Sound of Literati”. And Mr. Wenger,
don’t think for one second the Phantom Poet Graffito don’t want to
lease your ipod immortal spray to the spoken spectacular. . .Always in business to give the customers what they desire!

I love my ipod but as soon as napster started advertising Napster-to-Go I stopped buying iTunes. For the time being, I have gone back to buying used on half.com and ripping my own tunes. If Apple doesn’t have a subscription model out soon I will probably sell it and be done with Apple. My tastes change frequently and I love to listen to all types of music. I can’t do that with purchases.

Apple iTunes seriously need to enter the subscription fray. Insiders see the Phantom Poet Graffito spraying the spoken spectacular all over China’s Great Wall; its not coming down no time soon. General Steve Jobs know his time is to act now: Why spend time locking ipod users into your own DRM and not following up the swish-jump-shot by making your free throws after that Yahoo-foul; ipod users, no matter how dedicated cannot get through cyberspace without the portals. History has shown us time and time again that people subscribe,join churches,
gangs and even the police department out of the need to belong to a real family; the subscription is the ultimate cult-commitment. . .

Apple would be crazy to jump into the middle of the current subscription price war. I think theyÃ¢??ll just sit back and watch the show, unharmed. I believe apple will become more aggressive with their upcoming cell phone iPod offering Ã¢?? Available from Motorola sometime in June. The cell phone media market will be enormous and thatÃ¢??s when the fun will start.
