Zune changes their Zune Pass plan
Zune has made some changes to their "all-you-can-eat" music subscription service, as long as you’re a Zune Pass subscriber. It’s the same deal with the $14.99/month for unlimited streaming and downloads, only now you get to keep 10 songs for forever as MP3s. There are also bringing Universal Music Group into the fold, which will pad out their MP3 library considerably. Also, this Zune Pass deal is not just for Zune users; if you like this plan you can download and manage your music from your PC.
This is actually an intriguing plan. You can try out tons of songs and then choose the ten you like best to keep and cherish for all of time. Songs nowadays are $1, so that means you’re paying $5 for the unlimited streaming and temporary downloads. While this sounds like it’ll be a great plan for some, we’re not sure it’ll convince those pirates out there to stop tape recordering their FM radio.
You can read more about this new plan in their press release, here.
READ FULL ARTICLEZune 3.1 update is out
The Zune 3.1 software update is apparently out now. We went on Zune.net to check it out, but Zune.net is still hawking the 3.0 update. The main improvements are to the Zune Social feature. We have yet to get a Zune into our office for review, but we picture the Zune Social feature will allow the dozens of Zune users out there to join together in sighing in disgust at the iPod users they see. The Zune Social rehaul will fix the interface to make it more user-friendly. It will also add a new feature that lets you compare your music tastes with others, offically making the Zune a must-buy for hipsters.
You’ll also get a few free games (sudoku, Texas Hold’em, checkers, and a top-scrolling space ship shoot-em-up).
