I have been a Zune user for about a year. Before that, I was into Napster (the legal version). The thing that has turned me on to these services is the subscription service. For $15, some will argue this is too high, you can pretty much download onto your device any of the roughly 3 million songs the service has. For me, I listen to music of all genres and eras so it doesn't make sense for me to have paid $3123.45 (3155 songs) for the music that I carry with me. At $15 a month for a subscription, it would take me 208 months or 17 years to spend that amount. Now that podcasts are available on the new Zune service, the online marketplace is slowly building to Itunes. Once they get there (television, movies and audio books) I look for this to really take off. I just don't understand why Microsoft hasn't been more agressive about advertising the relatively inexpensive subscroption content.
The New York Times has more.
