Don't think I'd like this change. I like the current a la carte approach to buying music from iTunes.

Apple is in discussions with the big music companies about a radical new business model that would give customers free access to its entire iTunes music library in exchange for paying a premium for its iPod and iPhone devices.

The “all you can eat” model, a replica of Nokia’s “comes with music” deal with Universal Music last December, could provide the struggling recorded music industry with a much-needed fillip, and drive demand for a new generation of Apple’s hardware.

I'm with you. Every company that has attempted this rented music concept has either closed shop is currently being whipped by itunes. I like to own music, not rent it.

I doubt this rumor. It seems a lot of misinformation comes from England regarding Apple and tech issues.
