I’ve had a Zune Pass for about 4 months now and I can say I absolutely love it. 

For $14.99 a month I get access to basically any music I want to hear.  I think I have ran into maybe 3 artists where I couldn’t get their music, but 95% of everything I’ve wanted I could get.

Not only do they have a massive library to choose from but I find it nice because I can subscribe to my podcasts using it and it manages them for me and keeps them in synch with my Zune.

Another great feature Alison just showed me where “Channels”.  Just so happens two of my favorite radio stations, KROQ and KEXP, have Channels.  They’re basically a playlist that the radio station updates weekly.

I also like that they don’t auto charge my credit card.  So if I do want to take a month off I don’t have to pay for it.  Thought I’ve renewed every month so far.

On top of access to all the great music you get to keep 10 songs every month for your own collection that you own.  That is pretty much a CD a month.  SO in the end I am buying one CD a month and getting all the other music for free.  Such a sweet deal.

If you have a Zune I highly recommend getting a Zune Pass.

I’ve started a Pic of the Day photo set on Flickr if you’re interested. I did pretty good the first month, most of the days have a pic. We’ll see how long I can keep it up, but I think it works as a quick way to document her firsts too.
