Napster teams with Microsoft to challenge Apple's iTunes Music Store with a different business model: music rental. You get unlimited music for $14.95 a month that keeps playing only if you keep paying. And it doesn't work with an iPod. Will this be the iPod killer?

(4%) A. I like the idea and I'll replace my iPod to get it. This is a winner!

(33%) B. If it doesn't work with my beloved iPod I'm not interested. Boo!

(50%) C. I miss a payment and all my music goes poof? Heck no!

(1%) D. I don't hold on to old music so renting is fine -- this is just like XM Radio.

(12%) E. Their DRM is puny. I'll pay for a while, but I'll hold onto "my" music permanently.
