Your assumptions as a consumer are not MS's problem. The unit works as
advertised and does exactly what it's supposed to do. You can share music,
bottom line.

Buyer beware, buyers remorse, take your pick. Research before you buy.

Just because the wireless feature is useless to you does not mean it's
useless to everyone else.

You claim consumers can not use the Zune as advertised. Show us where it
states all shared music is permanent. Your claim is unjustified and false.

While I do not like the Zune, the one feature I like the most is the
wireless sharing. You get to let a friend listen to something a few times
so they get the chance to see if they like it. That's a very powerful and
impressive feature. For those that like it, for those that don't....stuff
****.
