According to Rolf Schmidt-Holtz, the service would be unlimited access for a flat rate fee – most interestingly, offering all the label’s output for ‘all digital players, including Apple’s iPod’ and you ‘would own them even after the subscription expired.’

Sounds like a winner to me, especially with a quoted monthly fee of between six and eight Euros. More on this as it develops.
