hehe .. I'm having fun in this thread with my Zune account .. $15 / mo unlimted downloads ...

pulled about 40 - 50 albums so far!

i've got about 40 gigs so far of music on my laptop .. sucks that my zune only holds 30gig!

Have there been any albums that made you say "why didn't I already have this one?!?!?!!?"

Have there been any albums that made you say "why didn't I already have this one?!?!?!!?"

I just recently started ripping all my CD's .. sharing with friends.. etc .. had about 20 gigs worth on my laptop before I got my zune last month .. before I ripped I used limewire .. napster .. rhapsody .. whatever back when it was free file sharing .. so I had a large assortment of songs .. but no full albums .. so recently I've been going through the Zune Marketplace and pulling the full albums of all these mixes .. some that I forgot until I read here were:

Rush (got every album!) .. The Who (Live at leeds).. Jaco (never thought about it!) .. Miles Davis .. Marvin Gay .. lots of other blues and jazz artists .. most of the rock / classic rock stuff I already had ..

only thing that sucks about the monthly unlimited is some artists don't allow it .. Metallica, AC/DC .. Zappa, Beatles, McCartney, Lennon .. just to name a few.

Porcupine Tree- In Absentia

 

[Andrew Jones]

Jimi Hendrix;Band Of Gypsies
