I don't think they will ever offer the "renting music" like napster offers...because they are doing really good at the $.99 price mark.

It would be more accurate to say:

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No, unless subscription services start to become really popular, in which case maybe.

Currently they have something like 80% of the market, so why mess with anything.

I don't understand how the subscription services quite work.. I'd like to OWN my track, thank you very much.

I can understand renting a SCORE or something, but audio music? Meh... eh.. Gheh...

You're not converting "rental" songs to transfer to a mac so you can keep them......are you???? :eek:
