What the hell would be the point of listenning to the same playlist at the same time? I thought having your own mp3 player would PREVENT having to listen to what others are listenning to. It's called a radio.

Those are the two lamest scenarios I have ever heard.

First of all, yes people hang out with their friends. I went to college hundreds of miles away w/from mis amigos. However, we had these crazy things called 'schedules' that prevented us from meeting on the comp and sitting there in front of said comp and listening to music together. Nobody will ever, ever gather 'round the comp to listen to music at THE SAME TIME.

Scenario 2 is even more retarded. If I meet up w/friends at the house, they put on their mp3 player and that's that. If I have a song they've never heard...I...brace yourself...plug in my mp3 player and play it for them. Or, if we're "hundreds of miles away"...here it comes again, write this down...I **send them the song**. Yeah groundbreaking stuff indeed.

In any case it's a good thing nobody is paying attention to us because your "idea" is probably the biggest waste of brainpower ever, thus making my reply to that idea even more of a waste of time. Good day.

Man, those are just really bad ideas. They're not hard to understand, they're just bad. All the way around.

So I'm on the bus, a couple of my friends pop up on the ol' zune. Wow I didn't know public transportation were wi-fi hot spots now. Not that the "scenarios" weren't sufficiently useless on their own, now they're completely unfeasbale.

Perhaps thinking through to conclusion may aide your zune brainstorms. It's not that they don't make sense, it's that they're boring and useless.

There's a reason it's a personal media device. It's so that I can choose what I want to hear during my everyday life. Next you're gonna tell me we can all watch Law and Order: SVU all at the same time! But from different corners of the globe! So cool that it isn't.

File sharing would own. That DRM stuff is garbage anyway and the modders always find guys like me a way around it.

Keep on comin up w/those genius ideas there punit.

Thanks for the lecture on file sharing. Also for a masterful demonstration of a straw man argument. I don't recall ever knocking the idea of file sharing w/the Zune. What I had a little problem w/was the goofy "lets all listen to the same playlist at the same time" idea that you originally posted. Then, the replies to clarify your posts were incorrect. Last time I checked, the transamerica building was not a gigantic wifi tower.

I'm beginning to think you're right about the community being better off with out me. Can't we all just get along?

[Gamesix]

Agreed, I can dig that.

Looks like you guys are having fun with this duscussion alone. I have to say that SportsUnit is right. I think the sharing ideas are a great feature and both scenarios are realistic to a portion of the market.

GameSix is a different sort of user and will obviously not be making use of these features but rest assured there are lots of kids out there that will dig it.

I agree that the sharing feature seems to be an important part of this and their desire to develop a community and I have no doubts that future versions of a Zune player will allow that. It appears the first generation devices are going to be limited in their WiFi capabilities and probably won't let you go as far as SportsUnit wants to go with it.
