Yahoo Music Unlimited

Yahoo Music Unlimited is a pretty good offering from Yahoo! $60 annual sub to unlimited songs, from over 1 million titles.
The critical flaw is it isn't compatible with iPods.
Yahoo states it has 345 million subscribers; with just 1% adoption, that's $207 million/year! Of course the margins are really low though.

Here is the press release.

  • dano here... ipod=8-track player of the 21st century. MSFT's DRM is gonna win this one (where are the iTunes phones and other gadgets?).

    I already have a phone and PDA that work with Yahoo! Unlimited. I planned for the future.
