That's a bit Disfunctional.
I got a Zune specifically because it wasn't an iPod.
I like to be into something new and different.
But issues like this and the frustrating software is

Thanks for the quick reply.

Its not like the zune team made this stupid idea up themselves....this is pretty common. Look at the email address, can you change it? Or how about yahoo, msn, and aim screen names, those aren't changeable either... Pretty much anywhere online where you need a screen name (photobucket, myspace, deviant art, hi5, webshots, etc---)cannot be changed..unless there are some very rare sites out there that make this possible.

Log in to you Zune account.
Select My Account, and then select Change Zune Tag.
Enter the new Zune tag that you want to use.
Confirm the new Zune tag and the purchase amount of 800 Microsoft Points.

I don't understand why it cost 800 points or $10 to change a tag. That makes no sense. I'm more likely to abandon my original account and then create a new account with the Zune Tag I want. BUT, I don't want to abandon my current account. I just want to change the tag to something that better reflects my tastes instead of the random tag I made up when creating the account and didn't understand that I wouldn't be able to change it later. C'mon. $10 bucks. Is changing tags that much of a problem that it cost $10 to do it? I feel like I'm being robbed or taken advantage of.

Space is just a place for stuff to be.
