Alas, no. What will happen is my wife will remain blissfully unaware that such a thing as a zune card exists. She will use my account and download what she wants onto her player. I will deal the ignominy of being the internet's greatest Julie Andrews fan. This is the price of love.
Laß Dir raten, kaufe Schallplatten.

What this means is you can download as much music as you'd like through the zune pass and listen to it through another account, or program. When you say another program I could listen to it with like WinAmp if I wanted to? Interesting.

So as long as I can get her to download it, but not listen to it, I'm okay. :)

That's awesome!
So humor me for one second... Would it be possible to burn those music tracks to CDs then for use in the car so I don't have to buy the car pack? I think in the TOS it says you aren't allowed to do this, but just humor me and answer if it's technically possible. :) Or is there some crazy DRM built into the Zune Pass downloaded songs that knows when its going to be burnt onto a CD and doesn't allow it to happen?

Alright, thank you for the info Duodecim!

I am also in the same boat. +1 on getting this feature in ASAP.
May the Force be with you! IMO, iP*d, iTu**s, Ap**e, M*c, etc. are all swear words. ;)

Karl... Ignore these peeps... JUst have your library in a common place on the C: drive, then have seperate user accounts on the PC... One for you, one for her.. Should probably have that setup already anyway. Use your account to download crap, and have her sign into her Windows Profile and open zune there, pointing to the same pile of music... She should be able to log into it there... It's how my Girlfriend and I do it.. only I share the music folder over the network, and she syncs from her own PC downstairs...
