Yahoo boosts prices on their music service, effectively doubling it by the end of the month. So subscribers will have to pay up or watch their music and playlists disappear. Yahoo’s initial $6.99 a month offer may have sounded cheap to early users. But Yahoo will now raise its monthly price for the portable subscriptions to about $11.99 (or $9.99 per month for customers who sign up for a year of service), as of Nov. 1. Subscribers who have already locked in a $4.99 per month discounted annual fee, which is still available through November, will keep that price until next year.
This brings it closer to Napster and RealNetworks, which offer $15 a month “subscription” service. It should be noted that these subscription services no not allow for burning CDs without paying an additional fee for each track, usually about 79 cents. Song purchased from Apple iTunes Music Store are not “rented” they are owned. Tracks are 99 cents and albums run about $9.99 - $11.99 typically. You can “burn” you own CDs and many albums come with a “digital booklet” in PDF that can be used as the CD jacket.
With Apple now supporting free podcasts right within iTunes, filling up your iPod with interesting content is free and easy. If you want to fill your iPod with music, new and classics, in all genres. I suggest you try Griffin Technology’s iFill. This is a killer $20 application for the iPod that allows you to record thousands of Internet radio stations, multiple ones at the same time. Literally “filling” your iPod in the amount you choose with music at no cost. This has been my answer to subscription services.

I think iFill is a killer application for the iPod and was using it daily until it stopped working when Apple updated iTunes to version 6. Happy to say I am recording Internet radio to my iPod again with iFill 1.09. It took Griffin Technology about 5 days to get the update out. Thanks guys.
Jason D. O’Grady of the PowerPage covers the same problem I had on iFill after upgrading to iTunes 6. I think iFill is a killer application for the iPod and was using it daily until it stopped working. I emailed Griffin Technology yesterday and have no gotten an answer as of yet.
I hope they have a quick fix for iFill, I was enjoying listening to time-shifted Internet radio on my iPod. See my review of iFill.
