do the songs on the zune itself erease after the pass is done?

coffeefreak · 12-11-2006, 07:54 PM

i know they become unplayable on the computer, but after the pass is done, do the stop playing on the actual zune? or can u keep playing them until you erase them?

Flipe · 12-14-2006, 04:38 PM

From my understanding, You get the songs, and have them on your Zune. Then your trial runs out and you can keep them on your zune until you plug in the zune again for a sync. Then it will remove them from the zune but keep them in your library, but you cant play them until you re-sign up.

My zune pass actually expired like 2 weeks ago... my songs are still here, and I can still play them. :P

Zuney_Toon · 12-16-2006, 12:39 PM

I think it may work that way due to the manual sync-ing. I'll try it out when I finally decide to use the dang pass.

Nothing2Prove · 12-16-2006, 06:26 PM

faint u told me they erase and told me not to get pass but u got it ??? ???

lpxxfaintxx · 12-16-2006, 08:21 PM

It is designed to erase, after the subscription is over. However, in this case, the zune software asks you if you want to update your songs. Once you update them, the DRM will come into effect.

Nothing2Prove · 12-17-2006, 08:43 AM

so ican use zune pass dl any songs and keep them??

They will only play for so long after the subscription expires. Then you will have to sign back up to have them function again.

Well we can't really expect free songs now can we?

I didn't tell you this but *cough* Limewire *cough*

Aden · 03-25-2007, 08:12 AM

What i have been doing is downloading from the marketplace with my 14day trial. (I downloaded about 400 tracks so far), once i have got them on my hard drive. Strip the DRM from them, then reimport into the zune software and delete the DRMed Version of the same song, yay.

Prince · 03-26-2007, 01:11 AM

now how do you srtip the drm from the song???

Scott · 03-26-2007, 12:45 PM

Tunebite, it's in the tools section.

Aden · 03-27-2007, 11:00 AM

prometheuscowboy · 04-23-2007, 03:48 PM

You can also burn DRM protected songs to an Audio CD, then delete the songs from the PC and rip them off the CD again, and POOF no DRM. (at least you could last year.) does this work with Zune Marketplace music?

It works because the files are converted to .wav files to play on the CD, and wave files do not support DRM!!!

when you try to burn zune pass songs to a cd it says you do not have burn rights. you have to buy the song(s).
