I think I would prefer Slacker or Grooveshark over Spotify if Squeezebox supported them.

I switched from Rhapsody to Spotify when it came to the US. I think I would also pay for Pandora if SB supported 192k streams.

Erm, None. I don't have enough time to listen to the music I own!

There really should be a 'NONE' option in this poll!

Neither do I, but I am having fun discovering new stuff. And I suspect I will be adding a lot less "junk" to the music I own, now that I have a way to sample full albums before buying them.

I'm in the same situation Sue. Fortunately there is always new music to be discovered. Part of my rationalization for paying for a subscription service is that it cost less that 1 CD per month and I'll buy less CDs. I think I may end up buying more :-). Though as you point out, it should be less "junk". I'm currently taking advantage of being able to load music onto my iPod touch to play in the car and stuff. So far I'm really liking this model.
I find it interesting that Spotify is leading the pack in your poll. I wonder if that is because of the newness of it here in the US.
I'm also subscribing to Napter currently, who is currently second in your poll. My wife and kids find the UI of Napster to be much easier to use. Maybe that will change in the future.Rich

Napster and also trying out Spotify since it arrived in the US.
In late 2009 (or 2008?) I tried the 30-day trials of both Rhapsody and Napster, and then let them both expire because they were both too unreliable. When Napster dropped its price to $5/mo (including 5 MP3 downloads) I signed up again. I like it for discovering new music and try-before-I-buy-the-CD, though the Napster library still has some large gaps, and the service still has some glitches like stopping playback halfway through an album.
I like the sound quality of Spotify, and the library is pretty good. I don't like the lack of album-based browsing or the lack of a "my Spotify library" equivalent (stars aren't the same thing), but I'll probably give it another month before deciding whether I'll switch from Napster to Spotify. I won't be keeping both.
