I'm an old fart. I have Zunes, and have had digital music players over the years, but never really got excited about an unlimited pass sort of thing. I know what I like, I buy the album...um..the CD, and I rip it. I have purchased downloadable music, from Napster of all places, after they went legit, but always burned the tracks to an Audio CD, and sometimes re-ripped. Good thing too, as several tracks were 'discontinued' and the DRM wouldn't let me play the original versions. Done it again recently from the Zune store, for tracks where I really liked the one track, but wasn't that excited about the rest of the album, uh CD. I could see myself buying a CDs worth of tunes a month...heck I buy a CD a month now, on average.

So, this is sounding like a pretty decent deal. $10 a month to keep songs I really like, rather than buying a CD with a good number i don't, and $5 a month to find stuff I didn't know I liked. I'm tempted. Now if they would offer a $150 year subscription (pay for 10 months, get two free) I think they would suck me in.
