Zune MP3 player - DRM'ed or not?

Here's a question for a debate. Do you think Microsoft's upcoming audio player, dubbed Zune, will play only DRM compatible content?
 
If that is the case, I won't be touching it with a barge-pole; same reason I haven't got myself an iPod.

If I have legal MP3 files, ripped them from CD's I own or bought them legally I feel I should be able to play this on however many devices I want, as long as I own them. That means my MP3 player, my phone, server, desktop, laptop, you name it - without restrictions.

If Microsoft wants to have an edge over the IPod, they need to make sure it works without DRM mangled content. If not, it will flop. Big time.

What do you guys think?

You mean "Zune". "Zen" is a DAP produced by Creative.

Hello.

Originally posted by sirwill: I have shrink installed, not working right. Can I uninstall shrink and get a time first install? Thanks for your help. No need for uninstall if your case.....just reinstall, your new installation will take over.

Hello.

in the case that dvd fab "missed" something, you could try running fixVTS before using shrink."Success is my only...option, failure's not." ~eminem

Hello.

i havent heard of that media.  I suspect it is not very good.  Check out the media forum and see if anybody has an opinion about it.poor media has quality control issues so that say 50% will work ok.
