Sony sounds subs service soon
SONY BMG chief executive Rolf Schmidt-Holtz has told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that his company wants to launch an unlimited access, monthly subscription music download service.
Sony's gargantuan back calalogue would be available to monthly subscribers for a fee of between six and eight euros a month. Schmidt-Holtz also suggested that, unlike most online music subs services, some of the content could be retained indefinitely, even after subscriptions had expired.
"The simplest option would be a flat rate under which a monthly payment would provide access to our entire music catalogue for all digital players, including Apple's Ipod," he added.

Stop me if you have...
"Déjà Vu" is a song by American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles featuring rapper Jay-Z. Sony is going to help you get it in a Birkin bag. Charlotte Gainsbourg is the daughter of the bag, but is not currently carried by Sony.

That is what makes choosing a legal option for purchasing/downloading music difficult.

Do I really have to have an account with each of the labels? At what point does it become ridiculous? When I start paying 120$ a month for music download subscriptions?

The industry has to love that idea though.

Yeah, like I'm going to trust Sony on anything concerning music. It'll be a cold day in Hell, or I will have been lobotomized, before I trust Sony on anything with Digital Restriction Management in it.
