You will be able to stream music from a subscription music service and that is not something that the Zune can do today. If you like what you hear, you can save the song to the player so that you can play it anytime. Also, the song sharing can be done with friends across the globe (you are supposed to be able to connect on the music service web site) - i.e. you don't share songs by beaming them to someone who needs to be standing next to you.
