I don't understand how pro-Apple people can make fun of Zune's low marketshare when OSX marketshare is lagging by an even larger percentage behind Windows. Do these same people use the same logic when they compare OSX/Windows marketshare?
Also, I will never, ever again use a player that does not support a subscription model. I have used both, and Zune supports both (as in: choice), but I can't see how I would ever go back to a pay-per-song model. I'd be broke by now if I had to pay for every
song I got on my Zune, including all the songs I've gotten via channels, charts, pre-build playlists, etc. And how do you "discover" new music if you don't know whether you are going to like the song before you pay for it and listen to it a few times. Some
songs "grow" on you, and I'll be losing out on a lot of great music if would have been too afraid that I won't end up liking a song. With my Zune pass, I can download all the songs I want and dump the ones I end up not liking.
But then again, the people that knock a subscription service are usually the ones that never actually used such a service. And I have news for the people that think they "own" a song just because they paid for it. Go read the license agreement. You don't
"own" anything. If you really owned it you would be able to sell it as if it was your own, which you legally can't.
