The Zune Marketplace online store has been revamped to make it easier to find material of interest, while the $US14.99 Zune Pass 'all you can eat' subscription remains available. A new web site, Zune Social, aids to tap the social networking trend. Members can see what their peers have been and are currently listening to, play samples of those songs, send song links and messages to each other. "By tapping into customers' passion for music with Zune Social, we're starting to change the game," Microsoft corporate vice president J Allard said. "This lets us start building a new, more valuable kind of relationship with consumers that, combined with other Zune innovations, will start to drive the entire music industry forward." The new products are expected to go on sale in the US in mid-November. |
