No, we know precisely how Zune works, which is why we (and many others based on Zune's low market share) avoid it. ;) I use Napster at $5 per month which has a much larger library than Zune and includes five song purchase downloads per month. All purchased and included free song downloads are 256k and DRM free. The subscription portion of such services, including Napster and Zune, will include DRM as you are not purchasing the song, just "renting" it per se from their library. I have nothing against MicroSoft, I've only ever used Windows OS's. But their management and restrictive policies of their music service is horrible in comparison to other services out there that specialize in music services and music downloads. Just as I like some Sony products. But I'd never get wrangled into their restrictive Sonic Stage music services and player preventing me from using my legally purchased music on any non-Sony hardware or software. :) You can always file an enhancement request here to add Zune Music Services. But as they are such a small segment, not well thought of in streaming circles, and are up against much better services like Rhapsody and Napster and Deezer (already well embedded in SqueezeBox service offerings) that it would likely not make sense for Logitech to fork over licensing payments to MicroSoft for the very few users that would choose Zune over the real players in the market. ;) And this assumes MicroSoft would even allow such licensing, at all. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75848 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
