Weird article... I thought he actually made some good arguments for subscription music...

Tunes are addictive for a while and then discarded.

Isn't that the whole point of subscriptions? Sure, in his example where he just wants to listen to one album day & night for months, that doesn't make sense. But if your taste is slightly broader (let's say a handful of albums) or your attention span shorter (let's say you're only into it a couple of weeks before you move on), it seems to me that the subscription model makes sense.
He seems to think that you need to listen to a gazillion songs (just because its available) in order for it to be worth it. Actually, it just needs to offset the cost of one album per month. If music is truly 'discarded' anyway, you won't miss the fact that when you stop paying for the subscription you lose the music.
In my case, I listen to the same stuff for years!  Now, in that case I can see advantages to the buy model...
