I really need to get up on the downloading thing...my local-been there
forever-music store is closing this month and I don't think Wal-Mart is
going to have the artists I like..Amazon and Ebay helps...

I tried to check out the Zune site buy I get bored when I can't get my
questions answered in five or ten minutes..it looks like most of the stuff

is for mp3 type players? I need a place I can burn to CD and play on my
stereo system...and I can't play anything that has been compressed.



Zune costs $15 or $16 mo
Unlimited downlaods.
I listen to some pretty esoteric music and Zune does not have all - say 60%
..
But that's OK becuae if I have to and its not on Zune I go to the Amazon
marketplace or the artist's own page and either buy a CD or download it
form Amazon prices are say $10 mp3 vs $15 for the CD

If I download any music I don't like
It costs me nothing so it just gets deleted

I have more music to listen to now than I will ever get the chance to listen
to in my lifetime My 120G player is filled and
There area few sources for digging out some newer but "different" music
so I am always adding
I rotate songs-

I wet to Zune from Rhapsody and other music services as it was the easiest
to synch properly w my mp3 player
I move my player between 3 stereo systems in the house , all of our
computer(s) - also used in the cars
and at various times w just headphones
The quality is the best I have ever heard esp w Shure headphones

If you have an ipod you may have more of a choice
