So, if you've been up to the latest new then you know MSFT created this site where people can post and vote for ideas for the next gen of WP!

I'll be greedy just this time so you guys can help the following idea turn true :blush:

I'm a Last.FM addictive user and I love to brag my musical tastes :p Anyways, ever since I started using this service and got my first Zune, I was frustrated by the fact there's no official way to scrobble my songs played on Zune (software, device, WP7).

After Facebook's introduction of Open Graph (specifically Spotify showing what you've listened to on your Facebook account) this made me realize of the huge potential of this tinny feature. Not only Zune could be exposed through Last.FM but imagine being exposed to the largest social network of this planet which therefore would be exposure for WP7! And besides, I would totally kill for my [Zune] songs show up in my Facebook and Last.FM

So please, second and vote for this idea here

As I posted in this section the Zune brand and service is alive and growing, coming to Canada on Oct 3rd. At first I thought you were asking for the ability to share music with friends, something that will never happen.

On that subject though, I'd like the ability to at least send pictures over bluetooth. Has anyone posted that feature on the site yet?

Well, it certainly would be amazing to be able to share music/playlists just like in Spotify but it's not really what I meant. (Just out of curiosity, why do do say sharing music is something that "will never happen"? on Zune)

No, what I mean is being able to send what I'm listening to to Last.FM (scrobbling feature) and Facebook (Ticker through Open Graph)

Yeah, after reading your post I get what you really ment and I agree, that should be a nice option to have. I mean sharing media like over bluetooth which you can do on some feature phones, like Nokias will let you share any file on your phone via bluetooth unless it's DRMed. Now because of the nature of the Zune pass and other services that let you unlimited stream media or buy it, even though it's not DRMed and just mp3 etc they still won't let you just share it with all your friends over bluetooth.

But I think pictures should be an exception to this. I understand why you block video and music, but pictures should be fine really.

I'm having a hard time to tell if you actually understood what I'm saying LOL. I don't know where you get the idea that I want to share music/files/images through bluetooth. When I said sharing I meant sending a link of a song so my friend when he clicks such link, the song will automatically start playing on his Zune Pass. It's actually not a link but it's as if I'm sending the actual song to my friend's inbox (all within Zune - no emailing need) - again, if you're familiar with Spotify, you'll understand what I mean.

But again, this isn't exactly my proposal. My idea is letting Zune send in real time a feed of the music we are listening to to social networks like Last.FM and Facebook (Ticker = real-time update box); that's all! :p

No, i do understand, I just brought up a different subject. In the end I just tossed in that we should have the option to share pictures with other people via bluetooth instead of having to send it as a MMS and get charged for it. We do a good chunk of sharing right now as far as posting up on FB or twitter etc so why not?

Oh ok!

Man, I really wish the Zune team listens to our suggestions!

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).
