Unlimited music on its way.
Something like this could be perfect, if i'm allowed to stream over the air, and download some songs for when I'm out of range. But I fear it will be wifi only for that :'(
Price seems a bit steep however its good to see them finally taking the plunge here. Hopefully this won't only be limited to WP7 usage here as well though.
is it steep? Compare it to the other options? Its cheaper than spotify.
That said on the wm7 phone, it seems microsoft are embracing and extending apple's hilter phone, with their north korea phone, so it will be the only game in town no doubt.
I don't like that, I prefer the price of a service to be set by a good amount of competition, not oh well its cheaper than the only alternative.
Seems to be working now:
my account
Thank YouYou've purchased the following: Zune 14-day Trial Pass
I've been using a Zune HD with a Zune Pass for nearly a year now, and I'll vouch for its awesomosity. At the minute I'm paying around £16 a month to a chap in the States to add a Zune Pass to my account monthly, and even at that price it's totally worth it. You can download or stream tracks until your heart's content, either on the PC (through the Zune software) or directly on the Zune itself.
My track library now totals around 40,000 songs, and all of them are legit. I think that says it all really.
[Edit] I should probably also make clear that I can also listen to them offline.
I thought it had already been confirmed?
Still, nice to see the pricing. £8.99 is fantastic! I currently subscribe to Spotify, but I'll jump ship to Zune when Windows Phone 7 devices start shipping. Spotify is rubbish in comparison. It's complementary to a music library, built around the idea of streaming a couple of tracks or storing a playlist on your phone for listening to on the move. Zune Pass will replace my music library and Spotify for £1/month less than Spotify currently costs me. Bargain.
My bad, i was thinking in terms of Xbox Live being £15 for 3 months :P I'm not knowledgeable on what pricing is like when it comes to digital music but when i did use the 14 day free pass that came with my original 30GB it was a really good service, only annoyance is that not all songs/albums are available on the plan.Quote:
