Atricle Dump - Zune Digital Player: What Will play - and Won't Play
If you run a business you must advertise. It doesn’t matter what size business you have, you must advertise to let others know what you are selling. Advertising is what gets people to your website or to your door. This is the only way you can make money with your business.As a matter of fact, advertising is so important, that companies allocate a huge amount of their budget toward advertising and marketin

A laptop is a simple and compact computer. Yet, its compactness is the reason for its intricacies and complications. For instance, while most normal PCs have a mother board that has different ports for different other components of the computer to be attached, a laptop on the other hand, has a mother board that has a lot of things that are built into it, instead of sections where other parts can be attached. An
A recent poster in our forums summed up the confusion: "I am hoping you can answer a question for me. I have about 10 GB of music on my hard drive, over half of which I have purchased through music services such as MusicMatch and MSN. I really want to purchase a zune, but I am concerned this player won't play the music I have already purchased from reading some posts, blogs and news. Will it play my music I already have...or is all the music I have out the window? Please clear up this concern for me...I have not been able to find any answers anywhere......"
Let's give a clear answer to that question. We'll be as definitive as we can be from the information available.
In your collection, your music most likely comes from one of the four sources below. Here's what we know for each:
Music bought from iTunes Store...
...cannot be played on Zune (or on any other digital player except for iPod). This is because Apple applies its "FairPlay" digital rights management restrictions on files purchased through iTunes Store.
Music bought or otherwise acquired from sources that do not apply DRM or copy protection...
...are playable on Zune. Examples: songs ripped from CDs; illegally downloaded songs.

Recently I did an interview with a well known email Internet Marketer. He wanted to share with his readers a viewpoint on what RSS is from someone who is using it in place of traditional email marketing. Of course this interview was geared towards other Internet marketers so they all somewhat “get” what RSS is, at least in theory.So, what IS RSS? Again, I find myself laughing, as I did in that interview b

I might upset some folks with this one, but that's okay as I think it's important to get some of my experiences into the light of day. If you fully believe the hype that you won't have any landlording responsibilities by selling on a lease option, go ahead and stop here. Or perhaps you should read on as this article is specifically written for you.Let's review one of the common misconceptions that is th

The question often comes up, and many people are curious about the answer. What kind of person does well working from home running a home based business? The short answer is that nearly anybody can succeed working at home with a home based business. It does not take a certain kind of personality nor does someone have to be a specific age or gender. Working at home has become increasingly accessible to people fro

Once in a while the technical indicators start making news. Whether it's the VIX, or a moving average, someone picks up the story and soon it's on CNBC or Bloomberg as the news of the day. So, as an investor one has to ask, "are technical indications really a reason to buy or sell?" In some respects the answer is no, since "investing" is something different from swing trading or day trading.Let's suppose
Music bought or otherwise acquired from sources that do not apply DRM or copy protection...

Music bought from Zune Marketplace...
...can play on your Zune (naturally). And, cannot be played on non-Zune players.
Music bought from sources that apply DRM protection, but do not restrict the playing of songs to particular players (eg MSN Music and other online stores)...
...does NOT appear to be playable on Zune.
We found the last point hard to believe for a long time. But it now seems clear that Zune players are made to be compatible with Zune services (eg Marketplace) only, and not music purchased elsewhere.
We draw this conclusion partly from a recent enGadget's interview with J. Allard, and from our email interactions with Zune insiders and Microsoft bloggers. In the interview, Allard indicates that "you get a Zune device, you hook it up to the Zune service, and it just works", and his other statements indicate that music purchased through PlaysForSure sources won't play on Zune.
In that regard, then, the Zune system is just as restrictive as iPod/iTunes is.
What does this mean for you? Part of that answer depends on the make-up of your current music library.
