Yahoo is shutting off support for Yahoo Music after September 30, which means starting October 1, if users want to move music to new hard drives or computers, they will be out of luck.

However, if the company goes bust or raises its prices, you’re left high and dry. You could either continue to pay the monthly fee or not be able to listen to your music.

This disadvantage for the pay-per-month scheme is huge, and is the major reason why I think it’s the stupidest idea ever, and people who “buy” their music this way are throwing away their money.

I hate to say “I told you so”, but I told you so. Subscription-based music stores were stupid, are stupid, and will continue to be stupid.
