  Subscriptions 'may fit future of online music' – Apple
Time: 14:29 EST/19:29 GMT | News Source: Macworld UK | Posted By: Erick Cordero

The launch of digital-music subscription service VirginDigital in the US has sparked a debate about the future of the subscription model for music distribution, with Apple admitting it may consider a subscription service in the future.

Speaking to the International Herald Tribune Apple's Eddy Cue explained his conviction that there will always be a preference for the a la carte model, saying: "Consumers have been buying music for 50 years and want to replicate that experience online."

But he was less willing to dismiss the subscription model than Apple has been in the past. Cue added: "Apple might consider a subscription service in the future but it had no plans to do so now."
