It depends whether this allows you to pick and play your own content though, making it more of a subscription music service. With Google rumoured to be launching a subscription streaming service, and with Samsung, Sony and Microsoft already in the game with Spotify, Deezer and Rhapsody/Napster, I'd be surprised if both Apple and Amazon weren't at least looking at this.

I go back and forth between the various types of music services depending on my mood. If I want straight genre based music where I have no control over content, I'll listen to services like TuneIn Radio, 181FM, or local FM stations. If I want some control where I can choose music tailored to a song or artist and the ability to skip songs, then I'll listen to Pandora or Slacker. If I want music on demand (a particular song or album), then I'll listen to YouTube, Amazon MP3, or my ripped collection via mSD.
With those bases covered, I have no need for a subscription service.
