Markets change - consumers change. Five years ago only hardcore geeks wanted touch-screen phones. Now everyone is chasing the touch-screen phone market...

I think David is right in that subscription music resonates with people that don't have big CD collections. People with big CD collections - people like us Janak - care about owning music. To younger people, people who went through their teens awash in the concept that music was "free" and you could find any song you wanted with Napster, Limewire, etc. Music ownership is a very different concept to someone a decade younger than us guys in our 30s.
