According to a Reuters story, Apple is in talk with major music labels to to offer customers free access to its entire iTunes music library in exchange for paying a premium for its iPods and iPhones, the Financial Times said.

Whether or not this would be subscription based or a one time fee for the life of the device remains to be seen.

I think this report goes counter to what Apple would normally do, not to mention Steve Jobs saying that subscription based models just don't work. Perhaps it is part of a deal to get music onto every single iPod that is sold and get DRM free music to every track. We'll have to wait to see since Apple reps had no comment at this time.
