Top iPad Music Apps (a/o May 23rd):
(
The following details on RIM's upcoming Blackberry Music service leaked over the weekend, both in the Wall Street Journal and 'Crackberry'. Would you pay for this?
(1) $5 a month. 
(2) User chooses 50 songs to access anytime, on-demand.
(3) User then invites other 'BBM' friends to download the app and join the circle, and everyone on that circle can share their selected songs.
(4) All friends in the circle must be paying subscribers.
(5) Music cannot be accessed outside of the Blackberry smartphone - except if the device is RIM's Playbook.
(6) Overall, millions of songs are potentially accessible, with all four majors expected to come aboard (not sure of the indie picture).

Mmmmmmm [thinking]. Not sure. Maybe there's something there but $5 is a major hurdle unless there's some freebie teaser window. But what about a song you want that isn't with one of your 100 friends?
? is right.

Looks like an even more captive customer than on iphone.
With the trends favoring android and the last years of digital music history, it is not sure it is a good move. but who knows, sometimes customers like to be captive and have a feeling of belonging. I wouldn't bet a lot on that personnally.

it's too confusing and too small in scope. when i can pay $10 for spotify premium and get 2 million tracks whenever i want on my mobile & laptop / tablet? they aren't thinking about the end user / consumer on this one.

If you haven't done so already, time to sell your RIM stock?
If your musical tastes are limited to 50 songs why not spend $50-$80 to own them instead of paying $60 per year perpetually.'
Most consumers have limited musical tastes and their tastes are likely to resemble the Top 5 or 10 over a very lengthy time.

I meant to say $50-$65.

The majors don't care and likely already know this. They are more concerned with receiving financial advances from RIM in return for licensing their music.
