I ordered a Zune HD a couple days ago and I was wondering if the Zune Pass was worth it? Your opinions and suggestions are appreciated.

I got a one year pass for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. She went on a downloading binge and ended up discovering new music that she had never heard or liked before. I say its worth it if you think you'll be downloading more than $170(?) worth of songs a year.
Just a warning though, you have to renew the subscription in order to keep the songs.

I though you can keep 10 songs a month forever no matter if you keep the subscription or not.

Yeah i just remember that. You get to keep 10 songs a month. So in the end you'd only be spending something like $40 for the pass.

Depends. I prefer to have actually carbon copies of my music. So almost all of my albums are either vinyl or CD format. Only a few were ever bought digitally. The pass is cool, but you only get to actually keep up to 10 songs per month. Downloads are unlimited, but after the subscription is up, most of that content is no longer registered as as legal content. So in order to keep it, you have to keep the subscription going. But definitely a nice way to check out new music and decide upon what you want to keep as you go along with the service.
