What are your thoughts on rented music through services like the Zune Pass, Yahoo Music Service, etc vs. buying Albums or single tracks from stores like iTunes?

I used to buy Tape, then CDs, then I lifted some music online, then I started buying single tracks, then I met Yahoo Music. For the last couple years I have been hooked on the all you can eat music plans. I subscribed to Yahoo for a while, then Zune Pass. Now I have both up and running, but I won’t be renewing Yahoo.

Sure, I quit paying and it’s gone, but why quit. For $15/mo, I can download all the albums I want. For the price of 1 CD, I can try albums I wouldn’t drop $15 on just to discover that it sucks. If it sucks, I download 3 more to replace it. If I like it, I listen.

I used to own Debbie Gibson’s 1st CD. I owned it forever. Cool. Would I ever play it again? Nope. You are always going to buy music, why not just prepare to pay $15/mo to download 100 albums rather than spend that same $15 to buy this years Debbie Gibson?

That’s just my thought on it, what’s yours?
