User generated playlists

Hi Zune,
I am a big fan of the Guestlist and Mixtape playlists, I'd like to be able to compile and share my own playlists with links to Zune Marketplace content very much the way Featured Artists and DJ's currently do, make it Social baby!
User playlists would be visible within my Profile page, can be subscribed to, and show basic statistics such as "most favourited" song in my playlists and number of current subscribers.
Yeah? Yeah? Do it.
Cheers!

I second this idea. Why have the ability to only share stuff from Zune to Zune? I have friends in other cities and would love to drop a new playlist in their message box from time to time.

I'm just keeping this one alive. Zune's about sharing and discovering music! User playlists, Stat!

thats a really good idea and it seems as though that would be very easy for the zune team to do
yo welcome to the social!

This idea popped into my head this morning. I was on the forum to suggest it, and found you beat me to it. Clearly, I think it's a great idea! Though I thought I might add some cases for the feature.
Social networking is all about users connecting through content. Somebody generates interesting content, somebody else notices the content and reciprocates in some fashion. The Zune Social is sorely lacking in the user generated content area. Being able to blindly stumble upon other people with similar music interests is not enough! The Social need the Zune team to facilitate finding other people faster, easier, and more accurately. Playlists can do just that.
Playlists are an ideal solution because they provide highly accurate indexes of a person's musical preferences. By allowing users to search for playlists by artists or genre, you create many pointers to an individual-- greatly increasing the chances that people with similar interests cross paths.
Playlists also create significant opportunity to increase revenue by driving Zune Pass sales. Ideally, a user without a Zune Pass could listen to a whole playlist once-- or at least listen to extended previews of each track. After that they would need to have the tracks in their Collection to continue listening to the playlist. Even on 10 track playlists users will likely realize the value of subscribing to Zune Pass for a month to get the playlist plus all the other access that Zune Pass provides.
So help us out, Zune team! We need a more social Social!

ive also thought of this feature and think that it is a good idea. especially with the zune pass, you wouldnt have to buy the music in the playlist and it could just stream it all too!

I think this is a new feature with 4.0 although I haven't test it out but there is now a send to friend link listed under your playlist
