The Zune Pass is an all-you-can-eat subscription service. You pay $15 a month, you get to download as many songs from the library as they want. You can fill your 30 (or 80) gig Zune with any music you want. But if you stop paying the subscription, the songs will stop playing after a couple weeks.

If you buy individual tracks off the Marketplace, they're yours. No monthly fee. They are DRMed, though. I never buy individual tracks, because I won't buy music with DRM.

I personally only buy music on CD and rip it. It's higher quality and you have a nice archival hard copy. Subscription services are excellent for finding new music and DLing stuff I don't want to buy, like stupid pop albums I want to listen to once or twice or classical albums that I'm not convinced I'll like. Subscriptions give you (nearly) full access to a massive archive of music. It's good stuff. People who scoff "Bleh! I don't want to RENT music!" don't usually seem to understand what the point of subscription services is.]]>Oct 2nd 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/

That being said, "Thank you" to the Engadget gang for the Zune 2 coverage so far and for doing it with a nice even hand this time.

Much appreciated.]]>Oct 1st 2007 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/Oct 1st 2007 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/Oct 1st 2007 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/Oct 1st 2007 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/zune-1-running-firmware-2-1-zune-2-coming-wednesday/Check www.Zuneboards.com for a lot more hacks for it

Yes, i do have a 360. When mine broke, a courier picked it up on tuesday, then dropped it off thrusday morning. I didn't pay a cent and got a free month of Xbox Live as a gift.
