10 free songs per month - No, £9/month is not free. That's still 90p per song, if you actually find 10 songs you like each month.

6.5m songs with drm, well ok. Is the interface good? Can I make playlists etc, will it work using Winamp or Windows Media Player or Iplayers?

Recap - 10 songs at 90p a month, whether you want them or not. 6.5mil songs you can listen to but not keep, like the radio. Sounds like a book club from 30 years ago.

Might work, feels a bit cumbersome but nearly there.

at "DRM locked tracks".

There's DRM ? Couldn't care less then.

But the last person's name is probably pronounced the same way the word for illegal online goods used to be pronounced by me, before I learned it's a play on the word "wares."

Ironic, considering the topic. (or maybe Alanis Morrissette confused me so much, I'm wrong about that?)

Another DRM-encumbered service fails at launch (like Microsoft's "Plays for sure", which "don't play no more").

Providers who make unlimited high quality downloads cheap enough (and UNENCUMBERED by DRM ) will blow everyone else out of the water.

$15/month * most of the population of Europe and N. America = win.

All my complaints about drm are taken care of right there? And if I was wrong about the free, anything $20 or under that has the other two things(no need for a net connection and unlimited) will get my money unless or until something better comes along.

Spotify definitely has me as a customer if they come to the States.
