Whatever.

In both cases I can't listen to something that I haven't paid for, so your point is meaningless. What you really want to point out is that subscriptions allow me to sample more music that I could afford to buy. The downside of a pure subscription service is that I lose all of the music when I stop paying; I don't lose purchased music (unless it's got DRM and the DRM service goes away).

Zune Pass seems to combine the best of both models, allowing me to sample a lot and keep 10 songs per month that I really like. So, if I understand the model correctly, it's basically a $5.10 per month all-you-can-sample service if you always take the 10 songs you're entitled to (which cost $9.90 on iTunes).
