I'll see what I can do. I turned off the baloons myself, I wasn't a fan of seeing every song pop up either. Ok… I’ll see what I can do.

As for other places, check out Amie Street who are working on a dynamic pricing model and Spiral Frog who are doing an advertising based subscription service.

I haven't played with the software or final device, but I did like the form factor of the 8 gig zune over the form factor of the new fat 8 gig ipod nanos. That said, the touch for videos, browsering, and of course music is unique and doesn't really have an zune competitor. I'm sure that will change and if msft continues to execute that will change up the hardware landscape as well - makes me think I'll hold off on buying any apple stock for now. chris - i just tried seeqpod on the touch...streamed music like a charm. There are several seeqpod like services out there: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/28/music-search-engines-tread-fine-legal-line/. i wonder if there is an opportunity to do this in a more legal maner by just making a killer music search vertical that had tuned relevance + deep index of rich music content (ratings, reviews, editorial, etc). ilike's search isn't all that impressive and I off the top of my head I don't know of an imdb for music. tom - trevin is a great guy…lots of folks are saying good things about the new zune and before I left the ’soft j allard (zune vp) showed me them - increadible strides since v1.
