Comments on: Zune sharing gets you credits?

The Music Mix does work, but has issues with firewalls. Each person can upload music to the other persons pc (at severely degraded quality), and both people share the master control over the music player. So if you pause the song, it pauses on the other persons computer, too. When you end the music mix, the uploaded music is deleted. It's pretty interesting ... however, pointless...

If this DOES exist it should be way smoother than it is right now. I didn't even know about that activity until you mentioned it. How I see it working with Live Messenger is when you see a "what I'm listning too" link next to someones name, you should be able to click it and listen to it instantly... and if you like it, click the buy now button and get the whole thing.

I've only used it once, but I think I remember MSN trying to sell music to you while you are sharing it. Why not promote referrals there, as well?
