Steve Jobs is Wrong

... about online music subscription services . Yes, many people would prefer to buy their music, rather than renting it. But if I want to own my music, I'm not going to purchase it from the iTunes Music Store, I'm going to buy the CD. That way I'll have all of the liner notes, and won't have to worry about "authorizing" computers to play the music. The online music subscription services are neat precisely because they break the traditional music buying mold, and give you incredible breadth, which you can leverage to find new bands and "try before you buy". I'd gladly pay $10 a month for a subscription to everything in the iTunes Music Store, but as it is, I spend about $0.50/month at iTMS. C'mon Apple, you're leaving money on the table.

Update: News.com recently posted an article with projections that subscription based services will soon overtake a la carte downloads.
