dotarray writes "Valve continues in its quest for world domination with the announcement of Steam Music, soon to be a part of SteamOS, Big Picture and — eventually — the desktop Steam client. Promising a way for you to 'Listen to your music collection while you play games', beta signups (of a kind) are open now."

Not everyone wants to maintain a library of their own MP3 files.
As much as I like the idea of owning things, services get more and more attractive to me every day in terms of convenience and cross-platform usability.
I ripped my massive DVD collection to a convenient set of well organized files a few years back, but that doesn't mean that Netflix doesn't make more sense to me more often than not.
