Marketplace Question

KilRoy · 02-20-2008, 04:13 AM

I'm thinking of getting the Zune Pass for the marketplace, but I have some questions to those of you who have it already. I've looked around and see there is a lot of music that I like, but how do I know it is available with a Pass? Is there a way to tell if the music needs to be purchased even with a Pass?

Thanks for the help.

All should be available once you get the pass.

zunerjosh · 02-20-2008, 05:00 AM

it should work for everything

Gregory · 02-20-2008, 05:12 AM

It will work on most songs, not all. I suppose you could call microsoft and ask if a certain song is included.

KilRoy · 02-20-2008, 06:00 AM

If it works with most songs, I guess I'll give it a go. Thanks for the reply.

Test it out, you should have got a 14-day free pass.

Gregory · 02-20-2008, 06:45 AM

That was only for the first million 30's sold.

I didn't get a 14 day pass with my 80gb. Too bad, I'm sure that would draw a lot of owners into buying the pass.

Jon · 02-20-2008, 08:34 AM

So does the Zune Pass work for the songs you wanted?

Saline · 02-20-2008, 08:54 AM

How much is a Zune pass?

Man. · 02-20-2008, 08:56 AM

$15 per month I think.

joej · 02-20-2008, 10:05 AM

thats a good price for music fanatics they need to do that with video then they would make a ton of money in my opinion. but yeah you should have access to all music

Once you get a zune pass, you'll know which songs are available because they'll have the download option near it, instead of buy. But if it has buy then it's not available. Either way theirs alot of songs in the zune marketplace available on the zune pass. So I'm pretty sure most of the songs your going to want will be downloadable.

I haven't had the chance to check it out yet. I hate it when life gets in the way of fun!! I'll be trying this weekend.

Jon · 02-22-2008, 05:35 AM

Okay great, tell us how it is so I can mark this as solved.

KilRoy · 02-24-2008, 06:47 AM

Update:
I have been able to download about 95% of the music I like, the exceptions seem to be sporadic, but most is good to go. Def Leppard, AC/DC, and Metallica don't play nice (need to buy or are not available), so the $15 is a great investment for me!! Disney seems to be rather touchy with their stuff as well, which is a downer to my kids, but they'll survive.

Thanks for the help.
