Zune pass and channels

[cgk]

So I've just signed up to the free 14 day trial, subscribed to some channels and... they don't sych to the phone? Huh?

I don't understand what this service offers over Spotify (which has a bigger collection of music to start with)?

I have not used channels having only really used playlists. I noticed that once I had subscribed it offered to sync with my phone but then said my phone was not compatible but it also offered the option to create a playlist which my phone is compatible with.

Combine this with sync over the air with your favourite WiFi hotspot and it does the job for me, but I can understand your frustration. I suspect this sort of feature will come with time.

Maybe, I cancelled it, the playlists are really short, so you have to spend a lot of time subscribing - I'll see how it is in six months or so.

Further to this - Nokia music offer off-line downloading of their version of playlists... and it's free! great for a cheapskate like me.
