I don't know if "everybody" will do it this way. This is like the difference between a Zune pass vs iTunes music. With iTunes you buy each song and can listed to it forever with that 1 time fee. With a Zune pass you can listen to any song in the library as long as you keep paying your monthly fee. Some people like one way, some the other.

But apparently there is a way to do the all-you-can-eat for a monthly fee price and still get royalties back to the RIAA somehow. Not sure if there is any usage tracking to divy it up or how that works.
