I disagree a bit - I don't think Microsoft ever designed the Zune's social elements for one stranger to swap songs with another stranger. Yes, you technically can do that, but how many people are going to trade music with a stranger? Almost no one. The wireless sharing features are instead aimed at people swapping music with their friends, or maybe friends of friends...someone that's connected to you in some way.

Who would want to be interrupted by a "bing" whenever a stranger with a Zune walked by? What, you're going to drop what you're doing and whip out your Zune to push songs at someone you don't know before they get out of range, and they'll do the same? Nah. Not realistic.
