Everyone seems to feel an ad supported radio service doesn't seem very "Apple". On the surface it seems very me-too and not at all premium.
But what if iRadio integrated with iTunes Match? What if the ad support was just so all your Genius mixes had access to all the music out there? And what if iAd understood when your mix was playing tracks you own versus tracks that iRadio supplied? The more tracks you own in the mix, the fewer ads you hear.
This could actually incentivize people to buy tracks from the iTMS while providing a simple and seamless way to explore new music.
Of course I could be way off base, but it's an interesting angle. Either way we should find out soon!
