It's extremely frustrating to be 5 minutes into a 30-60 min drive and find that your tracks are expired a day or two after syncing. I’m really glad this was fixed.

Subscription services are so useful that the DRM on the music is the only way a record company can allow the service to exist. So the easier it is to use the DRM the better.

Yahoo Music beats even cheap Russian ROMS-backed music services like www.allofmp3.com or newborn www.mp3ninja.com with both QoS and price. But!

Why can't you keep at list part of the database available for traditional pay-per-download service with no special sotware for installation on user's side?
