No Music Subscription Service Next Week
According to CNet sources, Apple will not be introducing an iTunes subscription service next week.
The rumor was revived after a claimed transcript of events was broadcast to several sites. These supposed transcripts are easy to fake, however, and have never been found to be accurate.
Still the possibility of Apple introducing a subscription service has some basis in reality, as the earlier rumors have described that Apple has been in negotiations for this possibility.
My sources say that they don't expect Apple to announce anything to do with music content, and they are sure Apple won't be rolling out an iTunes music subscription service.
According to the article, Apple simply has not acquired such licensing from music labels at this time.The rumor was revived after a claimed transcript of events was broadcast to several sites. These supposed transcripts are easy to fake, however, and have never been found to be accurate.

I doubted that we were going to see anything like this soon, this would have been a big change with such little rumors before it. I would have liked to see it though.

I still don't understand why Apple would want to go this route. I mean how many other subscription services have come and gone?? Why would they want to follow what is obviously a failed idea, at least for the time being.

Well I hope they have something in store that makes it worth the press coming out to San Francisco. Price cuts and redesigned nano/iTunes 8 ain't gonna cut it.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I wasn't thrilled about the subscription model idea, and thought it might be a mistake for Apple to do -- but at least it would have made the event "news-worthy." NOW what do they have? Everyone knows the new Nano model by now, price cuts are a given, and I don't think anyone will be that wowed by a new visualizer....

To be honest, I would welcome a subscription-based service. I'd have signed up for napster a long time ago if it was Mac-compatible.
