iTunes Subscriptions Finally a Reality?

Among other things predicted by this post TUAW is suggesting that on September 9, Apple may introduce a subscription model to their iTunes software.  I’ve posted plenty of times about what I think of the idea of subscription music (see the Related Posts below if you want to see for yourself), and any of you who have read any of them know that I think the concept is a great idea.  I still use Rhapsody, and I still complain about having to boot up Windows on my Mac through Parallels so I can sync music to my non iPod media player.

Rumors like this have been circulating for years, but this time around there seems to be definite evidence that Apple has actually been negotiating with record labels for such a service.  If this rumor proves true, here’s one guy that will be running out to buy an iPod as soon as he can afford one!

Anybody else heard anything about this?  Do you have any opinions about subscription music?
