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.

Edit: Just to be clear. Zune pass licenses up to 3 machines, you do not need to be logged into the zune pass account to access this music. 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.



Indeed you can!

What you download doesn't show on your card, only what is listened.

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?

I feel your pain. My wife loves rap and country. (weird mix I know) Where as I like to have indie, and hardcore metal music. haha

Why would you ask such a question? (Sarasim) That would lead to pirating. lolz.
Yes you can burn them to CDs from the info I have pulled out of here so far if you buy the CD with MS points. That way it gives unlimited access rights to the songs. At least I believe, and I would hope.

Don't try to be something your not... I'd rather be king of nothing then a servant in a sick society!

You can't burn Zune Pass files, as burning strips DRM from a file.

re: Two People, One Zune Pass
Yes, I agree.  I'd love to be able to pay for one pass but tell it to go to two different Windows Live IDs.  I share an account with a family member as well, and it stinks to have to share the Zune Card which is tied to my Gamertag.  The other user has their own Gamertag and Live ID.  Why can't they have their own Zune Card and ability to download songs with it too?  Oh well, Zune is still great anyway!

May the Force be with you!
IMO, iP*d, iTu**s, Ap**e, M*c, etc. are all swear words. ;)

I assume two devices can still access one Zune Pass. So can I set the devices to two different users, so we can have two Zune Cards? How does this work?

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...
