Quote "AOL will charge $17.95 per month for the right to burn 10 songs on a CD, roughly the same price consumers pay for CDs in a music store."
In Canada I pay about $17.95 (+15% tax) for an entire CD (usually more than 10 tracks!) and I don't have to pay for an extra CD to burn it. At the current conversion rate this works out to about $29 CDN for ONE CD.
There is no way this scheme should be attractive to anyone. Advice to all: Don't buy it, AOL will just have wasted their money investing in a huge online service that is ultimately designed to go to shambles. Unless, of course, they significantly lower the price; at which point if I was silly enough to join AOL, I may consider it.

I wish I had the smarts to work at AOL.
