I posted a story about this many months ago thinking it would (and could) never really happen, but here it is:
"Once the scourge of the music industry for facilitating illegal downloading of music, the online music service unveiled its new "Napster To Go" portable subscription service on Thursday. It lets consumers move an unlimited amount of songs from Napster's million-plus catalogue to MP3 compliant devices for one monthly fee of USD14.95." Full Story Full Story 2 Napster 2 Go |

You can unsubscribe and then resubscribe and it just reissues the licence. It's just like WMA DRM today with a time limited licence, the key difference is the communications between the player and the issuer.

I doubt there's any guarantee it will remain at $15 per month forever, either. What if, after you commit to this model of music purchase, the price goes to $30 per month.
