zuneinfo.com — With the iTunes DRM protection being cracked, could this be the help Zune needed? What was keeping people to their iPods was all their music they have purchased off iTunes, well now their music can go any where, to any mp3 player - even the new Zune.

All the music I've purchased off of iTunes isn't what's been keeping me from buying another player. It's that I couldn't be more satisfied with my iPod. Perhaps when it dies someday I'll look around at other devices, but if I'm investing several hundred dollars into a something, the seven albums and 10 tv shows I've purchased from iTunes aren't going to cause me to continue to buy Apple if something better is out there. I know it might for some, but for most... I'm not sure.

The last I heard, MS will buy all your iTunes music again in Zune format, so switching isn't a cost issue.Zune will succeed or fail because the consumer wants it or doesn't. From what I can tell by scanning the net, there just isn't a demand for Zune. It's dead before it's even released. That's what I think is happening. We'll know for certain soon.
