re: Zune Pass and 3.0
So let me get this straight.  If you get a zune pass and you want to download new tracks using the pass via zune device and wifi, you can't? So you can only purchase via zune and wifi but if you want to download songs using your pass you have to do it via pc?

partially whole but always complete

re: Zune Pass and 3.0

I have not done the update yet (will tonight)...but I re-read the features email from last week and I read it now as you can Buy songs from FM radio or play them. If you like the song but are not in a WiFi area you can tag it for later....I don't think I read anywhere where it said you can download the songs to your device via WiFi.........I may be wrong but that is how I am reading the features email release from last week.

I guess I'll find out later tonight....go to a WiFi McDonalds and try it out if you have a Zune Pass and see if you can download a song or just play it.

OK, it looks like you can play songs, but not download them to your device. So if you stay within range of the wifi then you can stream music to your zune.

I was able to connect to my home wifi and go to the marketplace and select an album that I didn't have on my zune and I selected play all and it worked (as streaming).

Not the best solution for us Pass folks as you can't download...but streaming is better than nothing.

re: Zune Pass and 3.0
I am downloading songs from my Zune off my wifi with the Zune pass right now. I added the album to my cart. At first it said 'Buy' and then a second later (I assume after it figured out I have a pass) said 'Download' instead. I clicked it and it is downloading.

Man, If this would work from any free wifi, this is the most awesome thing ever. I can ask someone to recommend music and download it right then and there and listen to it.

Are you sure it doesn't say download because it just charged you for the purchase and now you can "download it".

How can we tell if it charged us?

re: Zune Pass and 3.0
Well, I never clicked 'Buy' to tell it to buy it. It just went to the download option on its own and I clicked that. Also I don't have any MS points to buy anything with.

I am figuring it is just like the software. When it is available with the Pass, it says 'Download' and when it is not, it say 'Purchase' or 'Buy'.
