Why would I pay for streaming music when I can do it for free? I really have never figured out how these subscriber based music services are able to survive stuff like youtube, or, well, playlist until it wen to hell.

Besides, I'd feel better supporting the artists I like and just buying the album, then burn it onto my 360.

Simple.

Yeah, to be honest this is not a feature that I'm really looking forward to. Still, good post Archangel.
