Comments on: 3 Play Limit Workaround… Is it worth the effort? http://gotzune.com/2007/12/3-play-limit-workaround-is-it-worth-the-effort Microsoft Zune Love on the Interwebs!

To much work to give a couple of new songs to a friend. Your right it'd be way quicker to burn them a CD or lone em an old thumb drive. I’ve never planned to do this.

For now, the song sharing-ability of the Zune is kind of gimmicky. I hate to say it, but it's true. Just like CoverFlow with the new Classic.

If you're friends are nagging you about only being able to play three time and you're their main source for new music, hook their Zune up to your computer and toss the files on their player. If they're not the type of friends that come over, they can get the song on their own. Anyone you don't know that you're just being social with can deal with only being able to play it three times.

I do see your point.  If you want the song bad enough just download it yourself   I guess it’s usefull to the people that might share quite a few of their songs with friends.

Also, it is useful when its your bands album. you can squirt the album to a friend and they have it now. ACE I already posted that, but it is still useful.

Personally, I find it's easier just to drop a fourth of the price of a lattee and buy the damn track.
