I like the idea in theory, but wonder if the service, which will certainly be locked per-device and possibly non-transferable to new owners, will be too high.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2007/10/12/total-music-lifetime.html"><P>From <I>Business Week</I>:</P><BLOCKQUOTE>The big question is whether the makers of music players and phones can charge enough to cover the cost of baking in the subscription.
