Awesome idea

If this Total Music service gets off the ground I'll sign up instantly, providing there are no annoying DRM issues *cough*iTunes*cough*. $5 a month sounds just right.

iTunes DRM
by coryschulz February 8, 2008 2:49 PM PST
iTunes is slowly moving towards a non-DRM model. It's really a matter of the record companies wanting the DRM imposed on the consumer. If any decent competition comes out against iTunes, I'm sure you'll see more songs go DRM free. I'm pretty sure this Total Music thing would have just as heavily enforced DRM on it, if not worse.
