I've been a fervent user of subscription music services for over a year now. Now, I only buy CDs for one of two reasons:

It's an album that I enjoy so much that I want to be able to listen to it anytime, anywhere (very infrequent - usually music for my kids).
I want to support the artist.With ZunePass, if I download a particular song, does that artist get an extra royalty from it? If so, I guess I'm less inclined to buy for reason #2, since I'm already supporting them to the tune of $15/month.

Does anyone know? Thanks!
