I'd rather not pay for my car, or insurance, or computer, or food, or movies, or games, or electricity. You have one year before you need to enter into the real world. In the real world, if you want something, you have to work for it. Nothing comes free. You won't go anywhere in life if you expected things to be given to you. Just my advice, take it or leave it. Oh, and my suggestion to help you, radio.

And to Null, the problem is your monthly fee needs to pay for the service, and be split among many different record companies, who want their share. Let's say I'm a big Madonna fan, and I purchase her songs. The money would go to Maverick records, as it should. Now if I payed a monthly fee, and I listened mostly to Madonna, the money would be split between many different record companies. I don't think Maverick would be happy that other companies are making money off their album.

Most people who have 1,000 songs did not download them all. They are made up mostly from CDs that they own, and probably for many years. I don't think many people would really be downloading a thousand songs.
