Spotify, like netflix, seem to 'get it'. They offer a 'listen to as much as you want' plan for a flat monthly fee.
I'm sure their biggest achievement to date is convincing the music labels that this is a good idea.
I can't see any other business model that can compete with this, and I fully expect it to become the dominant entertainment distribution model in the next 2-3 years.
I expect this is why Apple are launching icloud, even though it's going to cannibalise their existing itunes business.
Question is, I wonder if the same subscription model will eventually permeate to the app store?
