Was an original Zune adopter from the earliest days (30GB Brown Fat Zune). I ran into two people on my college campus with Zune's and each time we shared a song to each other. After a month I never used the song sharing feature ever again and never really had anyone bring it up.
I really loved my Zune, the desktop software was some of the worst ever created. It helped pushed me towards eventually just getting an iPod to flash with Rockbox so I could just use common lightweight sane software on my desktop to manage the library on my devices.
Things are so much better now that I can just load up 200GB of music on my android phone, manage it via a normal file explorer on desktop, and use the VLC app to listen and create/manage playlists.
- meepmorp 5y agoPlease help if you can - I seem to remember reading that the preferred verb for the song sharing on zunes, per MS marketing, was "squirt," as in, "to squirt a song." I doubt myself in this, of course, because it's patently idiotic. Is this anything you have the slightest recollection of?

I really didn't remember it being called that, but reading this makes me vaguely remember my assistant manager making fun of the feature name because she also had a Zune.
- meepmorp 5y agoThank you. I didn't mean to make you play LMGTFY, but I appreciate it.
- NateEag 5y agoI remember that too, FWIW.
