when Urge went under, all I did was accept the roll-over to Rhapsody, but the software was crap and didn't work properly on Vista and with my Zen Vision:M so I dropped them like a bad habit and switched to the new Zune 80.
The Zune pass worked nicely too. I don't have the money to buy all the music I listen to with the pass, and some of the music is only marginal so I'd have way less music even if money were no object.
Getting the amount of music currently sitting on my Zune would set me back about $8830.80 from iTunes. Vs $14.99 a month from Microsoft. It would take me over 49 years to get this same amount of music from iTunes at the same monthly price as I spend now with Zune.
I don't know about anyone else but I don't think I'll still be listening to ALL of the same music 50 years from now, maybe a few choice tracks, but if they're that good I'm sure I'll buy them between now and then.
I don't understand why I need to OWN copies of ALL of my media, some content I'm emotionally attached to, and I do own that content; I also own all content that I've personally created but I don't see why I'd want to pay for all that mass media content. If Zune goes under I'm sure I'd be able to obtain whatever I'm in the mood for, for a nominal fee, of course.
