i just wanted to point out, that you can use Windows Media player to
share your zune marketplace files.
I have a Roku Soundbridge Radio, and play the subscription files on it
all the time.
Windows Media Player 11 will play the zune files too if you wish to do
that.
I'm not sure how the slim
As much as I would like to separate the player from the MarketPlace that
doesn't seem possible. I am spending $15 a month already on Rhapsody to
Go which I really like and use to stock my two sons MP3 players. I need
my player to be compatible also.

One only needs to know one word Microsoft. If they are involved one
just knows to stay away. The player itself is not a bad MP3 player in
general terms. But the way Microsoft forces everybody to use it if one
wants to get the most out of it is what sucks. So if one is looking for

Do you think the RIAA would let

Hey Bklaas,
No biggie and I did not take it as flaming but more of wondering. And
after reading your post and mine, I can see your point. Nobody else
knows what I have or what I use or more importantly what I was thinking
when I posted.
ItÂ’s all just e-mail. I never read anything into it
You at both correct on all counts. The RIAA is the big problem. A friend
of mine owns a bar in Little Five Points. He is a musician and used to
be in a major label band. He hires bands to play in his club and when
they go on break he used to get up on the stage and play his old tunes.

I had a Zune for a while (just wanted to try one out) and as a player
it's fine. Don't expect to get any of the store or subscription stuff
to work with Squeezeboxes though...yet another incompatible DRM scheme.

You won't be able to play them on anything other than Zune players,
Xbox360 or the Windows Zune player.
Brutal. Really a shame too as I like what I have seen of the Zune
player especially with the drastic price reductions the older models
are undergoing. Given the limited playability of the tunes though I
assure you I will not be purchasing one.

Hi,
I received a Zune for Christmas last year and I like it fine for use in
my car and travel. I don't use marketplace (although I have $50 to
spend there), nor have I purchased any other online music yet. All my
current music is ripped CDs to WMA lossless then just convert to 128k

So buy the player but
I currently use Rhapsody to Go as my online music service and stream
tracks through my squeezebox using Squeezenetwork. Everything works
great but I am considering purchasing a Zune and switching to the Zune
Market Place subscription service. I realize I cannot stream through
