My music collection is large(13000+ at high quality) and will in no way fit on a teensy weensy little 30gb player.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=147558" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Zune</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/09/14/Zune.aspx#147545</link><pubDate>Sun, 17 Sep 2006 18:59:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:147545</guid><dc:creator>zune</dc:creator><description>I wonder if you can send data files.

I'm pretty happy with my 4gen nano. And I'll probably get a 5gen video iPod around christmas. It just works so well with my MacBook+ iTunes 7 (Awesome) I don't think I really need a media player that will sinc with my 360. My only plea is that microsoft would allow the play of protected music downloaded of the iTunes music store. I know that it might cost microsoft alot, but almost my intire music collection has been bought off iTunes. It's really anoying when you have to burn every alblum and upload it.&lt;/p&gt;

DRM is a load of crap. Hopefully someone can hack it so the tune can be listened to unlimited amount of times, if they do hack it so its possible then i will get 1 if not then im getting an ipod.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=147518" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Zune</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/09/14/Zune.aspx#147459</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Sep 2006 19:31:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:147459</guid><dc:creator>sean14233</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You have won with the 360, but sorry this doesn't stand a chance against the Ipod. I just ordered the new 80GB model and it looks gorgeous. The Zune looks like a cheap copy and will never penetrate the market like Apple has and continues to do. Nice try I guess. I don't think many will bother with it.&lt;/p&gt;

Microsoft Keeps 360 Crippled to Protect Zune Market

"Zune media player has this really neat feature - you can play video on the Zune, in all manner of wonderful formats. Record a TV show, throw it on your Zune. Grab a video podcast file, play it on your Zune. And here's the juicy part - plug the Zune into your Xbox 360, and BOOM, magically your video file plays on the Xbox 360.

What does this feature mean for existing customers that don't plan on buying a Zune? One could postulate that it means they're getting a purposefully disabled 360. Think about it, there's nothing really special about Zune - it's a USB device containing video files plugged in to the 360. There's nothing special about that (I'll go into this in a bit). There's certainly nothing special about a Zune relative to a standard Windows XP machine. Let's call a spade a spade here - In my opinion, Microsoft has disabled the 360 for two reasons: selling Media Center, and selling Zune players."

End Quote.

So is it true Major does MS block 360 video playback to sell Media Center and the Zune?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=147397" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>when and were </title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/09/14/Zune.aspx#147383</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Sep 2006 10:48:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:147383</guid><dc:creator>b75</dc:creator><description>i was just wonderind when it will be released in the uk hope it will be for christmas&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=147383" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
