Zune and Music

I recently had to reinstall my pc, nearly losing my album and about 2 years of other stuff. I managed to mostly salvage it, but I did lose all of my programs.

Anyway! I have a Windows 7 phone which uses Zune to connect to my pc so I had to redownload it. While I was setting it up, it offered me the zune pass again, which I declined last time, obviously because I didn’t read exactly how it works.

For some reason I was under the impression it was something like spotify where I couldstream as much as I like, and I thought I was allowed to download 15 songs to keep, for £8.99 a month. Bad deal, I thought.

This time I actually read the terms. It works something like playstation plus. Basically I can stream all of the music I like, but also download it to keep and play on my phone. I can keep the music for as long as I have my subscription.

Normally I wouldn’t of signed up to it, but it asked me to type in 3 favourite artists, and before I knew it I was being shown albums I hadn’t even heard of, which I’d of never downloaded before.

So in conclusion, my guilty pirates conscience has been appeased and I am downloading about 1000 songs.

I think I am becoming an honest consumer…
