Would I pay $20 more an iPod if it came with unlimited music?

My answer? One word: hell yes!

Rumors are Apple is in negotiation with the record labels to allow iPod (and iPhone presumably) owners access to an unlimited selection of music from the iTunes library for a flat fee to be tacked onto new iPod/iPhone purchases.

I think this is a no-brainer great idea for consumers. I used to have a subscription to the Rhapsody music service which got me unlimited streaming for $10/month. (well, until Rhapsody raised their subscription).

While the idea of streaming your music doesn’t work well unless you have a system like Sonos — being able to jack up your iPod or iPhone full of music whenever you want would be really, really awesome, even with Apple’s DRM.

I say bring it on! The future is unlimited music. On my iPhone. Like tomorrow. Or something.
