Microsoft provides DRM free MP3s for all music you purchase through Zune
Software.
The Zune Pass gives you unlimited downloads, with the caveat being that
you need a subscription to play it. You can download it the 3 Zune

No, we do understand Zune, and that's why we avoided it. :)

Ok, let's try a different approach. :)

After actually reading your posted Zune+Sonos link, this sounds like one
big *kludge* to me.
Here are some great quotes from your posted thread link regarding Sonos
"supporting" Zune:

Yeah, that's a *kludge* (a mess, a lot of hassle to perform a simple

It's still a *kludge* with Sonos' "updated" support.
I only commented on the link you provided which has not been updated
since 2008. With no other reference I can only conclude it is the same
now.

This in particular I'd insist on knowing before using any streaming

I'd suggest you contact both Microsoft/Zune and Logitech for your
request.
I'd also suggest creating an enhancement request for Zune support at
http://bugs.slimdevices.com , then get others to vote on it.
But I wouldn't hold my breath. ;)

No, and as far as I know, no.
Sorry! I don't think MS has licensed ZunePass DRM to anyone yet (might
be wrong about that though).

I dont get it - it seems that zune drm is just WMA, it works on a Sansa
, and Sonos also says Zune marketplace is supported , why not Squeeze
box?
has anyone tried setting up a streaming channel from Zune Marketplace
and subscribing to it on a squeezbox ?

We do not and probably never will support WMA DRM. DRM for purchased
music is on the way out.

Sony should finally get it. When their cd drm fiasco is so well
