People are saying that the model sucks. Yeah, the model of renting music does sortof suck, especially when the music keeps failing to work on all these devices you try to put them on (my friend tried, I didn't bother)
But, the ability to stream a gigantic library at on demand is worth $10/mo. I still buy music elsewhere, but if I want to be able to listen to anything I don't own at any time, I'll fire up Napster. Even if I were into piracy, this is faster than downloading a whole album before I can listen to it.
That said, Napster sucks, Rhapsody sucks, I've not found one with a nice non-clunky interface yet. But it's still worth $10/mo.
