> $8/mo for 10 songs DRM-free and streaming/caching all other songs in their database is huge

Just FYI, it's $10/mo now, and the "10 free songs per month" deal is gone. If you had a Zune pass, you were grandfathered in, but new signups get the new deal. Still a good deal given the catalog size, but perhaps not as good as it once was.

Good point, I did not know the new deal. I personally never really used the DRM-free songs part of the bundle, I have software that watches my music folder on my hard drive and when a new song comes in it exploits the "analog hole" to strip the DRM from it and drop in a replacement MP3. It's pretty comparable to Spotify, and if you have mostly Windows devices there's not much incentive to look further than Xbox Music. iOS and Android support has been announced but not given a firm date for launch.
