If it wasn't for the fact that music subscription based services were DRM'ed, I would gladly sign up for one. I understand wholeheartedly why it would be stupid to offer a subscription that wasn't DRM'ed, but I personally just cannot deal with the restriction. I like to listen to my music literally everywhere and DRM'ed media prevents me from doing so.
As for those people that feel they are too elite... well, we are talking about a company that has built a fair share of their recent momentum off super snobby and elitist-holier-than-everything-im-better-cause-i-use-a-mac type of commercials such as these...
It would just seem foolish to charge someone almost $2,000USD for a underpowered laptop with no optical drive and than offer that person an all you can eat music pass. Customers of Apple products usually can afford to spend a little extra, it just seems so out of character to offer such a pocket friendly service.
