This is an odd move IMO.. There are already a plethora of streaming options out there.. Not sure why Apple would bother, or who would even use Apples service instead of all the others.

Massive install base though, so easily enough get new customers on it who don't know about spotify or whatever else.

Well this is just an extension of what they started with itunes radio. Remember when Apple bought out Beats, this is why.

They will slowly buy out the competition.

as a DJ said to me about 6 years ago, 'who pays for music?'

The only people I know that still do are collectors, and they don't buy digital.

I pay for google music. I stream all day to my phone, totally worth it.

I still buy tracks on Beatport.. but I also listen to drum and bass and many harder to find tracks simply are not so readily available on streaming sites.. plus I like supporting the genre more directly.
That said, Itunes has been, and always will be a rip off.. so at least Apple is giving people "more" via streaming than they did through single song purchases.

10 a month for legal access to unlimited music, and the library is perfectly reasonable; they have almost everything that I search for.
