This is what pisses me off. If you dont want people to pirate movies, then get your act together and either give me my movie or my money back!

Until it disappears with no warning, which is exactly what's happening. He's right, this is exactly why subscription is stupid. You're renting it to begin with, and then they can just pull it at any time.]]>Feb 4th 2010 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/

I think you are forgetting that lots of albums are $9.99 and include 12-16 Tracks... So it's more like $9000-$10000 lol... none the less I still love owning my music too!]]>Feb 4th 2010 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/Feb 4th 2010 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/Feb 4th 2010 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/
It would be awesome if Metallica was on Zune (or any sub. service). The way I look at it, the labels want to keep a price tag on all its works, which is a damn fine investment if you ask me, since it WILL sell. Same thing IMO with the Eagles.]]>Feb 4th 2010 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/Feb 5th 2010 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/
Don't you just love proprietary stuff?]]>Feb 5th 2010 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/With ZunePass you have access to 6 million songs, and can still buy any track you want to keep permanently (almost always in DRM-free mp3 format). And you get 10 credits per month, so you can "buy" 10 songs per month for free.

So how are users of Zune Pass "idiotic"?]]>Feb 5th 2010 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/Feb 5th 2010 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/
I didn't say anybody was idiotic. I said subscription was stupid. The fact that you are using examples in which somebody BUYS the music rather than renting it in order to try to prove me wrong is only proving my point further.

You don't need Zune Pass to buy music. The point I'm making is that subscription is stupid because if anything happens for any reason, like the labels decide to pull music, it will just suddenly be gone from your hard drive. Also if you stop paying the subscription fee, you lose EVERYTHING other than what you actually bought. Again, you don't need Zune pass to buy music.

Sure, you get 10 songs a month for your $15 subscription fee. That works out to $1.50 per song, and those are the only songs you get to keep. When you actually work out the numbers, Zune Pass really isn't a good deal at all. Renting music is a bad idea, because they can just take it back any time.]]>Feb 5th 2010 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/
People like you are why people thing subscription is so bad. You give inaccurate information. When music expires, no it doesn't work but it also isn't just delete from your hard drive. No music is ever deleted unless you delete it. Once you pay it starts working again. And from my experience, even if the song is no longer available on Zune Pass it will still renew it's DRM and work until, 1. you let the DRM expire or 2. you move the song to a new computer or reinstall Windows/Zune Software.

Subscription music isn't stupid at all. People just need to understand that there are terms and there are downsides to everything. Microsoft helps ease those downsides by offering the 10 free songs a month.

Personally I love subscription music. I don't need to own everything. A lot of people would like it too if they understood it. And if more people understood and used it we wouldn't have problems like disappearing music because labels wouldn't see the need to remove the music if huge quantities of people are downloading it and they're making money.]]>Feb 6th 2010 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/

Arcadia Fire and Spoon are old but pretty well known - not like Kanye well known, but then again they never did dumb things like him]]>Feb 4th 2010 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/Feb 4th 2010 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/Feb 4th 2010 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/Feb 4th 2010 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/zune-pass-hit-by-wave-of-disappearing-music/
Vampire Weekend recently had the top album on the Billboard chart, for what that's worth. They and Spoon are two of my favorite bands! I also like Arcade Fire.

Who the hell are YOU?

Arcade Fire is overrated (by hipsters like myself), Vampire Weekend and Spoon are the shit, both recently released new albums in 2010 (Vampire Weekend - Contra was very highly anticipated). Check out Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend and Underdog by Spoon. And don't miss Ratatat's new album LP4 coming this spring!

one thing that irked me was some albums said they would not sync because the album was removed from the marketplace but i would find that they just replaced it with a different version.
