Microsoft hints at a free-with-subscription flash Zune {Engadget}
Apr 4th 2007 2:47PM I agree with other reader's comments about how great subscription services are. Totally worth the small monthly fee. After trying it, I'm not likely to go back to paying by the track, or paying by the album. And not likely to buy CDs either.
And I'd love to get a new flash memory player each time I sign up for, say, another 12-months subscription. The model makes sense.
Zune the next to drop DRM? {Engadget}
Apr 2nd 2007 7:00PM Apple had a lot to do with setting up widespread DRM in the first place - and I'm sure had no choice but to do so. It's fitting that they're taking the lead in dismantling it.
This is a very good trend - for iPod, Zune, and for music lovers everywhere.

Toshiba's gigabeat U gets social with FM transmitter {Engadget}
Mar 19th 2007 12:32PM Nice package from Toshiba.
Note: "...share your audio collection with your car audio system or any other DAP equipped with an FM receiver -- pretty much all of them these days."
... well, with the notable exception of iPod - one of the last holdouts to making music sharing easier.

Stolen Zune recovered while attempting to join the social {Engadget}
Mar 16th 2007 2:25AM "LS2/LS7" is not understanding how Zune wireless works. A Zune can detect any other Zune players within wireless range - there's no need for the other players to "select receive first". All they have to have is the wireless option turned on.
Also: jackryan - the "3 mile radius" was a wry joke from engadget. Zunes can only detect other Zunes that are within wireless range - about a 30 foot radius.
ZuneTVWatcher beta to bridge Media Center gap {Engadget}
Mar 5th 2007 12:13PM Kudos to TVWatcher for filling this gap!! This really should have been integrated into Zune from the get-go.
Zune works great for music, but the video side needs to catch up quickly.

Hack your Zune FM transmitter, boost output range {Engadget}
Feb 12th 2007 3:03AM Apologies, my mistake. The hack is against the Zune FM transmitter kit - not the Zune player itself.
Hack your Zune FM transmitter, boost output range {Engadget}
Feb 12th 2007 3:01AM Note: that hack is to improve the FM receiver - not transmitter. The Zune does not have a built-in FM transmitter.

Hands on with SanDisk's new Zune-bestin' Sansa Connect {Engadget}
Jan 8th 2007 6:23PM It looks really interesting, and I'd like to try one out. I do like the Zune's user interface better, at least from those screen shots. But it's great to see another design team's results in creating a wireless capability.
