Linkage: http://www.bing.com/search?q=massive+attack&form=OSDSRC

from there i clicked "songs: Massive Attack and landed here: http://www.bing.com/music/songs/sear...massive+attack

Clicking on one of the play icons brings up that pop-up.

Update...I actually really like 3 albums that the Zune Marketplaced recommended now. This is a first in years! Hmmm... now let me check the channels...Lil Wayne is still in the "Metal" channel? Zune you still have work to do!

Yeah it's because I'm in Canada...not holding out much hope for zune marketplace to land in Canada with wp7...
:-(

I'm disappointed again....nothing new that will benefit me. This was kinda what I was expecting, though.

I know what the update did, it made the price per song go from 79/99 points to 80/105 points.

Wow... once again a completely useless update. This update doesn't change anything for me, since I don't purchase from the Zune marketplace, due to the horrible points system.

I noticed that too that sucks now with $5 you can most of the time only get 3 songs.

[GBob314]

Yea they need to quit screwing us and move on to dollar amounts or just let us click on a song and press buy so we don't have to buy $15 worth of points to get 4 songs.

They don't need an update to do that... But even if they did raise prices 105 points is $1.31. Aren't iTunes tracks just about at that same price for 'popular' songs?

yes, they are: http://www.cultofmac.com/digital-mus...increase/37376
and it looks like the industry blames them for sales declines as a result.

That would be fine and dandy if all we had to spend was $1.31, but you have to spend at least $5 to buy one song and with that $5 you used to be able to buy 4 songs, now you can only buy 3.

I agree that using points and not real currency is silly at best and downright annoying for many.

This was an update to support future products and services, not a feature release for existing devices, or set of app releases, etc...

Cheers, Dave.

Any chance this future product would be win7? ...Or an hd 2?

[Olley]

I'll guess, well hmmm... what is MS working on? XBox, Kinect, Phone7, the HD2 (likely renamed to something that starts with k-i-n), a tablet of some sort, that airline deal (so fliers can order a song they hear onboard and have it auto uploaded to their PC or HD next time it's turned on?) . Just a thought.

okay so for about a month I've had the same 10 albums "picked" for me in the marketplace. Half of them are already in my collection. Pretty lame! Am I going to have to wait another year before I get some fresh picks?
