Zune Ideas

Zune seems a good idea, but sharing music is daft. Everyone (almost) has bluetooth something, be it a pc, mobile or pda. If it used bluetooth then maybe it could communicate with our phones/pcs and put music onto it wirelessly?

I think the wireless feature would catch more people if they let you download music from the market place from anywhere there is a wi-fi comnection, or maybe if you could sync wirelessly with you computer. Here is an idea later if some one maybe microsoft put out a mini keyboard and some sort of mouse thing (small though) so if you wanted to you could walk along and you find that there is a wi-fi signal that you can use you could check the score of the game, e-mail some with some info/check you e-mail. then you can attract the working class. I think for this thing to really work your going to need to speak to a more diverse grooup of people. Here is another sugestion, when some one gives you a song the zune wil give you an option to sample more songs by that artist. I mean if you want to take down the monster also know as the IPOD your going to have to jam pack it with features that people can help but be like "*** you cna do that with an MP3 PLAYER" if you add one feature make it the ablity to surf the internet, if you can add that you have everybody. Let me give you a exaple of how this would come in handy, ok so you sitting in a coffee shop and you listing to your music and you want to get the score of the Bears Falcons game but you have no way of doing that, but wait you have a ZUNE opp let me just surf the web and find the score bam APPLE can't touch that.

Here is another idea for the Wi-FI connection. you can take advantage of the resources we have. how about this in stead of checking the scores of the game you can watch the game with the SLING box. now am i the only one who see that this wi-fi thing can open the door to a world of things.

Bluetooth would be great, but I guess we have to stay with Wi-Fi (802.11b/g). Overall the biggest issue here will be security, either it's Wi-Fi or bluetooth. You don't want anybody to hack into your zune and send virus or steal music.

problem being, the wifi is locked down. you can only do, from what I've read, what MS allows, and for now, that's simple music sharing with other zune users.

For the Zune software it would really be useful if it had a 'consolidate library' option like iTunes.

I think it might be fantastic if we user Zune along with Microsoft Surface. The interactivity between them are excellent. I hope if Surface is less expensive we can use it for home purpose along with Zune.

Personally, I really like the whole wireless sharing thing through computers...

However, one idea which would be great to incorporate would be a pair of usb headphones that would be compatible with the zune usb port. It would have incredibly sound quality as long as they used a decent pair of headphones, etc.
