Zune Pass

ryan3883 · 02-03-2008, 06:43 AM

Is there any way to know what songs you can get (and can't get) with the zune pass before buying it. I want to know if all my favorite band/albums are included with the zune pass. And if anyone knows a better alternative to the zune pass and limewire please feel free to list them. But I really need to know that about the zune pass before i subscribe. Than You

i believe you can get any one in the zune marketplace, just if you want to keep listening to them you have to keep buying the monthly pass.

No, you cannot get any song.

Ryan, there is a pretty wide variety of music you can get with the pas, you have to subscribe and find out though.

nathanlawliet · 02-05-2008, 05:27 AM

What do you mean? All you do is go to the Zune Marketplace and search a song, and if there is an MS Point # by it, that means you can get it with the pass right?

there only a small amount of songs that dont include the zune pass. If im not mistaken you can try the zune pass for free. No credit card needed. Atleast thats what they did at launch for zune 30.

The Zune Pass is definately worth it! tons of music for the price.

mr.handsomeman · 02-05-2008, 10:21 AM

but the constant price you know? i don't think it's worth it if you're not going to be on a lookout for new music.

nathanlawliet · 02-05-2008, 10:31 AM

Don't forget you could always remove its DRM. And the Zune 30 comes with a 14 day pass. Which I still haven't used....

Saving it for when I can't find a song I want online, and it's on the Zune MP

jacobmervine · 02-05-2008, 10:44 AM

i didn't get a 14 day free pass i heard that was only for the first million sold.

Don't expect a wide variety like iTunes though, Microsoft has a lot of underground artists in the Marketplace.

surfer13134 · 02-06-2008, 07:50 AM

unless your constanly finding new songs dont get the pass because you have to keep paying for all the old songs you have.

To actually have to "strip the DRM" off you'd need to use a program called FairUse4WM just google it. By the way this is illegal. Or you can do it the legal way and use a program like tunebite or soundtaxi to make copies of the music. Which you would have to pay for. Just google either tunebite or soundtaxi to find their site.

Gregory · 02-17-2008, 09:26 AM

I use tunebite, fairuse can be illegal.
