Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Sharing Songs and Pictures with the Zune http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/content/on10/entries/preview/zunesharing_large_on10.jpg Channel 9 - Sharing Songs and Pictures with the Zune Hey folks, Brian and I managed to get our hands on some pre-production Zunes and we thought you might want to see them!We decided to show off one particular feature, the ability to share music and photos between two Zunes over a wireless network. I brought along some Canadian tunes to share with my American friend (The Odds!) and I also forced him to look at some of my family photos. Watch the video and let us know what you think!We will be interviewing someone from the Zune team next week so let us know what questions we should ask, or any particular feature that you'd like to see covered. en Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:00:21 GMT Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:00:21 GMT Rev9 Re: Sharing Songs and Pictures with the Zune
"Zune"...WTF  kind of name is that?  Nintendo got a lot of BS for calling their next console "Wii"...especially from here...and now Microsoft is poised to release "Zune."  Forgive me, but that seems rather hypocritical to me.  I'm not against the name at all...and I'm sure no one here will be either, but I think that's a rather hypocritical idea.  People wanted to know what "Wii" meant...now I'm asking....What does "Zune" mean?

I'd like to see more of the Zune interface and physical model.  I didn't get a good idea of its physical size and appearence from this video, so I'd like to see more of it.  I'd also like to see what programs it works with.  Thanks.

In this day and age, names are very difficult and creating a brand from a word with no meaning appears simpler.  If you came out of a 10-year coma and someone said,"I need to get my iPod out of my car", would you know what they meant?

The other option would be "Microsoft Portable Media Wireless Sharing Player 2006" Tongue Out

Technically this is true, but they are the only good Canadian band.

"So I'm gonna go down (pause) and find their song Heterosexual Man, (pause) which I like." 

Um, yeeeeaaaaaaaah. Even when I didn't pull that quote out of context and paste it into this reply, it sounds--uh, you know. A little kinda... uh,

I'm just sayin' I would've personally loved to see a reaction shot from Brian at that point in the video.

I could see that.  I wouldn't mind a joint venture between Microsoft and Nintendo.  Nintendo of America is located just a few blocks down from the Microsoft campus. Smiley

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to acknowledge my question as to the meaning of Zune, Adam.  As I said, I support the name and brand, I was just a little annoyed that some of the posters here lambasted Nintendo for their name of choice.  I thought It was kind of clever.

Erik said iPod was a relevant name though...

i = information
pod = a miniture self contained vessel
iPod = a miniture self contained information vessel. hehe

True, nobody waking up from a comma would have any idea what we were talking about...but still, iPod is a little clearer than "Zune."

We'll ask the Zune dude during our Tuesday interview.

Of course, that 3 days, 3 plays is just for music that has been sent to you from another person's zune. With a subscription you have no 3 days, 3 plays restriction on music that you downloaded from the marketplace and sync'd onto your Zune.

Even if it is not DRM'd that doesn't necessarily give you the right to share it (consider a CD you rip using Windows Media Player, no DRM but still not something you can give away without any restriction). Yes, there will be some music that has no restrictions on its usage, but I don't believe there is any easy way to distinguish between the two types of content.
