Zune River
Best bring your own paddle – because Zune’s don’t come with their own.
It’s well known that the Zune has fairly restrictive sharing through ‘squirting’ songs from one Zune to another. It limits such songs to three days or three plays on the destination Zune (adding DRM to un-DRMed music as it is squirted). But..
I missed this incredibly interesting news item in January: On top of this, it’s possible for rights holders to prevent any squirting whatsoever.
Surely the benefit to record labels is that squirting helps promote their artists?!
If you want to find out what restrictions a track has, you can do a typical Windows hoop-jump.
