  Yeah this is not a transparent pricing model. You start at $0.025 and “go up” from there but I can’t find how much. After you listen to a song 9 times and have paid $1.40 you “own” it but can still only listen to it on their service?

  This sounds like iTunes with more steps.

    I’m not sure where you get the information that it’s not DRM free

    They explicitly say you can download songs while not mentioning the inclusion of any DRM

    I’m curious where you found that

      It's still not possible, according to the FAQ:
      Q: Can I download music I own on Resonate?
      A: In the future, we intend to offer the ability to download tracks that you own on Resonate to your local device. This feature is not yet available.

      So for now, it's just streaming.
