Have you explored the site at all? The only one problem with the marketplace is they want to much money to download songs that dont even last more then their experation date. (whatever that is) I have discovered the best alternitive to this problem is to get all my content from other Zune downloads online. Here is a site that I see allot of that has great place to get your downloads from. I like to call it the new Zune marketplace. http://watch-dogreviews.com/zunedownloads.html The Zune marketplace does have all the music you see on the cover. Have you explored the site at all?
