The bottom line is, MSN Music, URGE, Napster or <i>insert other store here</i><insert other="" store="" here="">, third party-driven or not, it's all under the PlaysForSure roof and built on the same nerve-wracking DRM that quite frankly, doesn't play for sure. Us Windows Mobile folks have tried it over and over again with Pocket PCs, Smartphones, and other PlaysForSure media players, and the same problems (poor syncing, tracks that don't play, etc.) arise each time.

Do you really want the Zune to be part of a crumbling ecosystem such as this? </insert>
