Zune 3.0 Software: MixView
Ok, so I got my 80gb Zune a while back and have been loving it. The Zune software I never really used for anything other than syncing until recently (today actually) when I got a Zune Marketplace card for Christmas. 2000 points to spend. I bought a few Six Feet Under albums (Maximum Violence and Haunted) as well as a sprinkling of some Kataklysm tracks to fill out the rest of the 2k points. Both of the artists I found using the Zune MixView feature they recently came out with, which I found to be really fuckin’ cool.
With the MixView feature, you select an artist or album and it generates other artists, albums, and other people who listen to that artist/album which are related by some way, including artists who influenced the current artist or simply by genre and rating similarities. Most of the other artists have sample clips you can listen to as you go along, which really lets you find new music that you would WANT to buy.
The one thing that I forgot to try was the ability to browse the Zune Marketplace and buy tracks from the Zune itself. Oh well, maybe once I get my actual Zune Pass subscription (which I’m still trying to find a pre-paid version, I keep hearing about it but can never find it) I’ll give it a shot, as well as take a look at the “Channels” feature.
Now, only if I can get Zune software and World of Warcraft (yes, I know, I’m a junkie) working on my Slackware partition, I’ll be giving up windows as soon as possible.
Oh, and by the way, Six Feet Under fuckin’ rocks! And my Xbox360/Zune tag is KazieKama, feel free to add me.
