I can think of a few instances. I like having the ipod in my truck and having it sync thru the usb/headunit so everything is tucked out of the way and the steering wheel controls work. I can't see having that capability with rdio or any other service. And yes, I understand I could go through an aux in, but I'm not a fan of it.
I can definitely see subscribing, and potentially buying less music, but so far I see it as a supplement, not a replacement for my music.
One question I have, is what are the artists seeing with a subscription service vs itunes or cds? You're now talking a fraction of a percent of $10 a month vs a fraction of a percent of $10 an album. I can't imagine this is any better for artists, and would predict its substantially worse.
However, is this any different than 40 years ago? Bands resorted to touring and merchandising for money, not album sales.

You can sign up for free and search the library. I'm not too sure of the limitations of the free account (I would assume offline storage and match are disabled), but so far I've been streaming all night.
