New Music Friday: Twenty-Eighth Edition

Before I post this week's NMF, I would like to say that I'm excited to hang out with MSZuneFan. While it's not Zune that's flying him here (our buddies at on10 are flying him), I'm really curious to meet such a dedicated Zune supporter. Anyways, without further ado, more free music for your Zune:

Previous New Music Fridays.

Enjoy the free music and have a great weekend everybody!

Hi All,

I just got this so if it is old :^(

The featured video on www.savethecolors.com is "Press 1 for English." You can watch it or download it by going to the site above and looking on the left side.

It has been downsized and formatted for Zune. No registration, no cost.

Regards,

Keith

Aw man how I wish I could download this. Unfortunately, the Zune software crashed my computer on Tuesday and I can't reformat. =/

This computer is crappy too (128 MB RAM, 17 GB HDD). So I wont be able to do it this week ;_;

Cesar,

I just purchased a pink zune for my girlfriend, and I was wondering if you knew if they had discontinued the free trial of the zune marketplace?  Here zune box did not receive the same promo that my brother and I received in ours back in December.

Thanks a million,

Scott

Did anyone see the news that Apple is now the third-largest music retailer, just behind Wal-Mart and Best Buy?

Freaky.

Client?! Yes! Thanks!

(P.S. What ever happened to Biz Markie?)

D: Quick question for you, sorry it has nothing to do with this post.

So my husband and I are military, and we're being moved to Guam in a month.

I've heard that the marketplace doesn't work outside of the US, is that true?

Will our subscriptions still work in Guam?

brutha-man

@ Zuneless

Oh it get's worst (for Market Place that is)

Apple is requiring an iTunes account for iPhoners, which means more iTunes being downloaded, more exclusive deals, more partners etc., and soon they will take the #2 spot. If there is ever a time for the Zune team to talk and give a road-map on the future of Market Place and Zune is now.

Daveworld, probably the only thing we might hear about this week is that Zune reached one of the stated goals..sold a million units.  Not great but it is respectable.  As far as a Zune/MarketPlace roadmap, Microsoft will likely stay away from a direct confrontation with this weeks iPhone release.  But I will say, Zune/Marketplace needs to Enable Something New for users.

What are you guys smoking?

No one can ever beat iTunes+iPod..Not even Microsoft!!

Cesar: I think a modification on this without keys but full screen touch screen would be perfect for some future zune: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/25/cnet-editor-details-dream-phone/

I really like the dedicated screen to display clock, battery life, and other important stuff. Also, a built in camera in a zune would be CRAZY AWESOME. Hasn't been much new news so I just wanted to put this idea out there.
