Share account with my wife but different tags...possible

I bought my wife a Zune at Christmas last year pay for a Zune pass for her each month.  My understanding is that you can have multiple computers and devices share this account.  So I can login to Zune from my computer and download music on my PC even though I don't have the Zune device (at least I can still listen to music on my PC).

My question is, I always have to login with her Zune account and tag.  I want to login to zune with my Live account and setup my own tag but use the Zune Pass that I purchased for her.  I am assuming that because we can access this from several computers in our house, this is all legal and such.  But we each want our own personal Tags to login with.

Is this possible?  How?

Thanks

Nelson

If I'm understanding the question correctly, then you can't attach your email account to your wife's Zune Pass account. You'd actually have to get a Zune Pass for yourself. The only thing you can do at this point is use her Zune Pass account to download music that you can listen to on the computer or take with you on a device (if you had one).

What the 3 computers/3 devices thing means is that music downloaded from her Zune Pass can be downloaded on 3 separate computers and synced to 3 separate devices. But that all still attaches to one email/one zune pass account.

Does that make sense or did I totally misread the question? :-)
