I have just subscribed to Qobuz FLAC lossless streaming at 19.99 (or 16.66pm if you pay annually) and I think that is both fair and about right in terms of a balance between convenience of streaming as opposed to downloads or ripping - why would I pay 9.99 to download and own a recording when for 19.99 I can listen and save to my favourites 17 million tracks and counting! The old model is dead and the only reason Apple keep pumping it is simply the profit margins are far greater for all concerned. But iTunes Radio is just the first step Apple will be taking towards a streaming model, their aim is to keep both camps happy whilst earning a revenue from each - a very laudable aim in my opinion!
