As a subscriber I'm still limited to just 3 listens. The subscriber benefits don't included an unlimited "free on-demand" program. However, the songs that are restricted are maybe half or so of all the songs I've tried to listen to individually (it's up to the artist if they want it restricted it seems).
That said, the limit does *not* apply when you're listening to a list, either a list you create, a loved tracks list, or their radio stuff. So I can put my favorites in the loved tracks list and listen to all my favorite music an unlimited number of times.
I also get to listen to other people's "loved" tracks, which is kinda neat, and I bet most people don't realize it.
I also get no ads throughout the site. I can see who's visited my profile in the last month (which might be available to everyone?). I also get a badge that makes me feel superior to all you freeloaders.
