Because, you know, NO ONE has any music before they get an iPod. And there is no legitimate free content (ie, podcasts)...

(Oh ho, and better yet, they LIE (or at least mislead). You can listen to all the music you want a month, but you only get to keep 10 songs. So at $14.99/month, it would take you 250 years to buy 30,000 songs, working out to $44,970.)

If it's alright with you, Mr. Microsoft ad dude, I'd rather pay for my internet connection, and download whatever I want, whenever I want it, through whatever website/program/p2p network that allows me to do so.

And actually, even if it's not alright with you.

Yea. People who buy iPods really buy $30,000 worth of songs. Pffft.

This is a dumb post. Their point is that it's cheaper to get a subscription to gain access to a large amount of music than to pay for each individually at a dollar a piece. With their example if you get 16 songs in a month (or 192 in a year) Zune is a cheaper way to gain music than iTunes. They're not talking about which has a better library, or pre-existing music on a person's hard drive or CD collection.

Zune doesn't really have anything I would want, and I would rather pay for a full album of good music than get a single song. Neither option is of interest to me, personally. I'm just stating that the commercial isn't claiming that people are spending 30K to fill their iPod, he's stating that another service is a cheaper way to purchase songs in bulk.

Duh.
