Business Week is reporting that Universal, together with Sony BMG and possibly Warner Music (together representing about 75% of all music sold within the U.S.) are prepping their own music store to compete with iTunes.

The report makes it sound like they are going to be just 'renting' shops again (bit like Virgin Digital I guess). I'd prefer to have i-tune & DRM over that. Any news on how the new(ish) amazon download shop is doing??
Cheers,

It's been a long time

not only is the music rented, the subscription is "free" as the cost of an 18 mo. subscription is to be absorbed by the device manufacturer. lots of ways for this to fail, but competition tends to improve what we're offered in the end.
