Why? Don't you think they agreed to be included and are making some (but not much) money from this?

Songs wirelessly transferred from one Zune to another can only be played three times. After three days, the song expires – regardless of whether or not it has been played. Just playing half the song (or one minute, whichever comes first) counts as one “play.” You can never resend a song to the same friend, nor can a song received from someone else be passed on to a third person. These limitations apply to all files, including copyright-free self-recorded songs and similar. [2]

it's not available in Canada till Spring 07 because thats when the Canadian Zune store will be ready.

Because how else would I possibly fill my Zune with music to listen to without a store?

after reading about this here and elsewhere online, the zune is borderline comical at this point.

tk (tk), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 23:44 (seventeen years ago) link

To be fair, Zune is informing me that I have something like 123 thousand media files and it's understandable that it would have some burps trying to figure out how to stow all of them.
That said, it's been about 24 hours and it still hasn't finished completely installing.

Of course, I understand that. I'm taking into account the magical concept of REAL TIME; I've had to walk away multiple times over the past 24 hours. Restarted computer twice. It seems continuously unresponsive, but it IS processing tracks. Just very slowly and it keeps hitting a sticking point and then freezing at different times.

I've always liked this insane idea that Apple is cool and young and Microsoft is an old and evil.

That said it is distressing that the new way to hit on a girl will be two send her a file. Couple that with Match.com's definitive 32 point list or whatever of your perfect partner and within the year we can fall in love by just clicking "initiate romance" on the side of our cell phone.

In French Canada, "zoune" means pee pee, wee wee, gigi, woo woo or "private"; whatever boys and girls have down in front.

"As 'Black Friday' approaches and consumers line up for the Playstation 3 it looks like Zune has become an afterthought. Despite months of hype, opening Zune sales are only so-so. While Zune did reach the top 10 on Amazon's Top 25 list for electronic product sales on its first day, it quickly fell below the top 15 and continues to drop. Six separate iPod models now outsell it as well as SanDisk's e250 player. In-store sales are not much better."

grimly fiendish, Friday, 25 April 2008 19:06 (sixteen years ago) link

I agree that the Zune is kind of lame. My excuse for having one is that they were selling the brown ones (and only the brown ones) for $100 at Radio Shack. Much cheaper than the comparable 30GB player from Apple. The software kind of sucks - I use a LAME encoder to rip music and MP3Tag to edit the tags - but the player itself seems to work fine.

o. nate, Friday, 25 April 2008 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, and I also disable that dumb wifi song-sharing feature, which only drains the batteries.

o. nate, Friday, 25 April 2008 19:37 (sixteen years ago) link

the software that comes with players always sucks tho, to be fair, up to and including itunes. creative's app is the worst, unless you count rhapsody (tied to sansa i think?).

tremendoid, Friday, 25 April 2008 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link

i actually like itunes. it's very simple.

Creeztophair, Friday, 25 April 2008 20:56 (sixteen years ago) link

i subsscribe to rhapsody because i like hearing every piece of music ever but that app is a pos and wholly unfit for library type functions. forget customization, i'd settle for a cut + paste in the context menu.

tremendoid, Friday, 25 April 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm not even sure where I put this thing.
