They actually are the exact same thing from a technological perspective.

EDIT: Which again, is why I said the guy wrote the wrong article. This has nothing to do with computer audio being dead. You actually need computer audio for any of this to work.
Technically speaking YES. From all other aspects NO. A flat fee a month that opens up ALL of the available music on whatever subscription service database to the listener is far and beyond paying for each individual download whatever the price may be for such. From financial point of view a subscription service offers FAR more value. For what would amount to less than a dozen paid downloads a month, one would have access to the same content and a MILLION others to boot. That's what Millennials want.
