re: Two People, One Zune Pass
I have given up on hoping for this. My oldest son have about 10x the plays I do and has overwhelmed all the personal picks and everything else for me with his punk music. lol Never has been a drop dead issue but it sure would be a nice feature. Until then, I just have to find picks for me a different way.

re: Two People, One Zune Pass

I can really appreciate what folks are pushing for here - the ability to "link" three identitys to the Pass, each with the ability to play different libraries.  The scenario applies to my home as I have two teenagers who definitely shouldn't have their music applied to my identity.  The recommended pics and like listeners would be horrendous.  That aside, you have to realize that what we're asking for would allow one person to link two friends that aren't related, in effect providing two listeners free Pass access.  This in effect would reduce the income from the venture by 66%, thereby killing the product we love so well.  I'm sure this is the slowdown with fixing it.

 

The programmer's (Brooks) recommendation may be the most useful.

re: Two People, One Zune Pass
Maybe one day the programmers will make a master account with linked child accounts. The same can be said for msn accounts, a main one and the rest child accounts.  You have made the net passport thing way to hard for individuals with their own computers and net passports, email, messenger, settings, home pages, and other associated passport account sites. They need to sign out and sign in with my account for this zune. When are you fixing this? What can be expected in the future?

re: Two People, One Zune Pass

I second your recommendation. Multiple .net accounts. Linked or whatever they my call it tommorrow.

Shame on me for not investigating this further. I would have never purchased the 2 HD zune for my kids(14 yr son, 12 yr daughter). 1 zune pass should suit me, but you have the complexity to force old technology on us. It's 2009 Microsoft. Your programmers need a reality check. Where do I send these things back fro my money back!Angry [:@]

re: Two People, One Zune Pass
I would also like this, primarily because the songs that come up in my recommended list are more songs that my wife would listen to since she has to use my account on her PC. For the sake of accurate data please allow multiple logins per pass! Just make it up to 3 machines and up to 3 .net passports :)

So when she signs in to my account and plugs in her Zune device, it will automatically sync ONLY her music.

What you don't mention is if you both share a computer or each have your own.  If you each have your own, then it shouldn't be a problem because you are allowed 3 computers per Pass, and 3 Zunes per pass.  Your collections would be on your respective computers.

If you share a computer, you would need your own login/account on that computer, in order to keep your music separate. Still, both can use the same Pass, you can plug in your own Zunes, and everyone should be happy. 

The only downfall that I see is since you both use the same account, you'll have to fight to see who gets the 10 free downloads per month, and worse, your Zune card will have all her "chick-music" on it!  :)

I think the issue here is that since the account is now associated with a zune card -- that is the account is now much more associate with a person rather than a machine -- people will want to be logged into their own account when using the software. I just want my wife to be able to download what she wants, without logging into my account, and vice versa.


I feel the same way.  My daughter uses one zune....hence Hanah Montana & Kids Music and I use my zune.  Some of the music I have Rock w/explicit is not something I want her to have access to.  Wish there was a way around it.

Which is exactly my problem. I want to access the zune marketplace via wifi, but must have my zune linked to the master account. Another problem with this is that the zune marketplace can't recommend me different channels just for me if the master account I log on to has their own music.

re: Was sure there was a way to have one Zune Pass with 2-3 tags/cards

Sure, that is possible.  The problem is, when the other two Zune "cards" or "tags" log in with their username and password, they cannot download anything.  To download, they need to log in with the "master" login info.  Once downloaded to their computers, they can log back in with their login info, and play those songs. 

The downside of that is that the "master" account can only be logged in one time simultaneously, so if you and two kids want to download, one has to get in, download,  and log out to free up the slot for someone else.

What invariably happened to us was the kids would forget to logout and that blocks everyone else, not to mention their teen metal and pop was showing up on my Zune card.

Ultimately, I wound up getting two Zune passes.

I swear I read last week that it was possible to have separate Zune "Cards" or "Tags" for the 3 separate devices/computers under one Zune Pass.  Now I can't find reference to it.  Help!  I just bought another Zune based on this information and now it seems that info was either changed/pulled, or I am a dope and misread something.
