1-2 BTC per year at current price sounds very reasonable Smiley.

Few considerations:
- would include this kind of music http://nbm.im/20110718-5cr-99kb.jpg
- light-weighted, elegant desktop app, as Spotify (for some reason I'm not a fan of Adobe AIR)
- iPhone app would be a good bonus

This sounds pretty complex, and any chain with too many links alwyas f..ks up.  I would be pretty suspicious of this myself.

Nope.  I currently use Pandora and TuneIn Radio for all of my music needs

I'd be willing to pay 1 to 2 BTC per year (at current value) if:

- the quality is 192 kbts/s
- the songs were downloadable on a computer (WIN/MAC)
- there was no limit (ok one every 20 seconds would be okay)
- they could be transferred to iTunes and iPhone like other mp3s
- the service had all the songs/albums I wanted (which would be in the regular range of iTunes/Amazon - nothing too unknown)
- it was legal within the EU or at least Germany

Keep us posted.

This seems sketchy.

Thanks for your opinion. Again, I'm just asking for a community's thought on this.

If it's real, yeah, I would pay, as long as it has every song I listen to...
Which can be a little difficult.

I personally wouldn't use the service. I prefer physical CD's.

I would if it was Spotify Premium or Grooveshark Pro.

I am having trouble deciphering this sentence. Can you re-word it in the form of "I believe..."?
I will never not do that when I get the chanetunity.

I would pay 1 BTC a year for a service like Spotify Premium Wink

I do not believe the general Bitcoin market does not purchase music in nearly any form.

Again. I'm going to be using Bitcoin as option other than Credit card.

I'm so sorry. I didn't read your other post. Well, if you have everything set up, is it hard to add bitcoin as a payment method? You have nothing to loose I guess...

To be super honest here, I do not believe the general Bitcoin market does not purchase music in nearly any form.  I would love to see a poll.

I disagree.  You will be entering competition with the big boys, stay the course Exo!, Bitcoin only services (I still don't understand what you are doing fully, but I'm sure the fact that you take Bitcoin as payment is the reason you started this 'service' lol)

OK so now think, how many people know bitcoins? From that number, how many people actually uses them (either mines, trades or buys stuff)? From that number, how many people love music enough to pay a annually amount for it?

I honestly don't think that is worth it. I don't choose services based on payment method. I choose them with base on price and quality. If OP's service has quality and is cheap I will pay him with  Zimbabwean dollars if I have to.

The thing is, you can't have just Bitcoins as a payment method. Very few people know bitcoins and for your business to succeed you must accept other payment options.

This will be for computer too. Haha. Its a setup I've done myself, with a very private accurate source.

This is the most shady reply you could have given lol
