[Q] Using Zune Pass - Windows Phone 7 General

Hi I am using a Zune pass, and when using the Zune software on the PC or the Xbox I have no problems downloading songs and listening to them, but when using the marketplace on the HTC Mozart, all I get is the option to buy the song/Album or listen to the 30 seconds clip. I’m logging into the Zune marketplace with the same live id as the Xbox and the PC software on the phone any ideas?
Regards
Dogo

same for me !?

your flag shows France. zune pass is not available there so it's not going to work for obvious reasons..

Just change your location to Great Britain or US it works fine in Germany

Tap and hold on the song or album and you should get the option to download, it works on my phone anyway. You need to make sure that the Zune Account's Live ID was the first you registered with the phone though, otherwise it won't work.

if u dont mind.. can u pls... tell us how to stream video from pc (vlc ) to the PDA???
steps will be gr8...
A typical use of HTC Streaming Media Player would be: e.g. you're browsing through www.youtube.com (or redirected to m.youtube.com) with PIE. When you click on any video image icon there, PIE will automatically start SMP, and you will be able to watch the selected video file on its window, without the need to download it to your mobile device. You could watch it fullscreen too.
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!

I'm using the Internet Explorer on my WM5 Artemis, and when i go to www.m.youtube.com and click on a video, it just opens in Streaming Media app works well!
is the "m" in the web address important? Cause I have never heard of this type of address.
Streaming
It also works very good on my exec using 3G connection, Youtube I mean, but in full screen mode picture is agly enough of cause. After Stop it comes back slowly.

rtsp://link
I don't now if this tread is dead, but I will post anyway.
I use the rtsp:// for connecting to live streaming cameras.
I have one at my house that will email me if someone rings the door bell or the alarm goes off.
I can then connect to the camera thru a web browser if i'm at my computer, and talk to them thru the camera. If i'm out and about i can stream to the camera with my htc. I can even here what they are saying if there talking. THe camera i'm using is a VIVOTEK IP7151, http://www.vivotek.com/products/cameras/network_camera_ip7151.html
THere is a link for a live demo. If you connect with your phone the link would be rtsp://60.248.39.146/live.sdp or
rtsp://60.248.39.151/live.sdp or
rtsp://60.248.38.147/live.sdp
Sometimes there on, you might have to connect 2 or 3 times.
I've never managed to get anything from Youtube to work on it. Maybe it's a O2 thing.

Downloading Podcasts with Zune

Currently, I download podcasts on vista desktop. I then synced it with the phone. Can you do the same from phone, bypassing download to vista?
BTW, the zune application that is on the phone, is that only a player and to download podcasts I need full blown zune software?
Thanks
Good question. I hadn't considered looking for that until you just asked, but I don't see any way to download podcasts from within the app. It works great with the Zune client on PC though, and the software blows iTunes away.
I haven't tried this but I see no reason why you couldn't subscribe to a podcast via an RSS reader or manually download them via the mobile browser.

Correct. I've been using a Zune HD (I'm in the UK) and on the Zune software from the Podcast section in the Collection you can manually enter RSS feeds or download individual episodes.
I would think it's the same for WP7.
No reason you can't you an RSS reader like yomomedia can't downloadthose for you but Zune really is the way to go with WiFi syncing them automatically.
So there is no way to add a new podcast and update the podcast directly from the phone??
This is totally absurd.

yomomedia can directly download any podcast you subscribe to automatically. I just choose to use zune since I don't need them immediately as they are available.

Actually I really love the Zune part and the OS interface.
But some missing features are really boring. But I'm sure MS will add them soon.
not so quick
You can set up a wireless sync with your wifi at home. The phone will use your wireless connection between your computer and phone to sync whatever podcasts you are subscribed to. Syncing begins after you have your phone plugged in for 10 minutes. I agree that a file manager would be helpful, but that may have to wait until the phone is cracked. In the meantime there is a ton of software available and its only going to get better.

Usually people mainly need their podcasts (and the updates) when they are outside. Not when they are home.
This is why I think the necessity to sync with Zune is kind of absurd regarding podcasts.
This shall be done directly from the phone, as usual.
I usually sync my podcasts to my Zune before going to bed then I'm all set. Never felt the need to update outside .

[Q] Zune on DHD?

If anybody could help me with this in anyway at all please.
I was just wondering if anybody knew if there was a way of using Zune pass subscription service on the DHD?
Whether it be creating offline files to listen to on your mobile on the go like spotify, or software downloaded to the phone.
This would be a great help for me as I want to subscribe to this service.
Zune is a windows only service, you only get it on zune devices and windows phones
Thank you for the help.

Zune Pass in Australia

If your like me you've been looking for a way to get a zune pass in Australia
Well here you go:
http://techin5.com/2011/05/how-to-buy-music-and-get-the-zune-pass-in-australia/2/
You will need a computer, a credit or debit card and a xbox.
I had to buy a zune pass via my xbox which meant buying xbox live for a month which set up auto renewal. I recommend setting your address of your new live account to one in Illinois. They have a law that requires you to be able to turn off auto renewal of xbox live online instead of calling them up
I had to reset my phone and change my locale in order to get the zune music market on my phone but you should be able to sync it from your zune software as well

I've done this before, though it never lasted a day on me because i already bought apps using my NZ live id including my games, so i had to revert back to my backup.
Advantages of this method are Zune Pass + US Marketplace, Bing Audio, Bing Vision DVD and CD covers scan. Cons are Bing Local Scout not working, even if its available, USD currency so you must need a credit/debit card (some credit/debit cards charge for currency conversion).
If you're a new windows phone user, then you're better off with this method if you want to have US features, otherwise you only get the features supported depending on your country.
Couldnt agree more. Im going to go back to my old account with my apps but keep the zune pass for my computer

lol yeah, my computer has zune pass and marketplace, whereas my phone doesnt. Microsoft should really make their services worldwide, not just US.
I've been on USA from the start. My xbox account has been on USA for the start as well (well over 2 years). Meaning everything is set to usa for me. Running Mango right now, and Zune pass on phone works like a breeze still, and games are about the same price as usa (with FX). So I'm sticking with it of course.
I was running with the US account but I used a lot my data downloading music in class plus i wanted my apps back. Back to australian mango for me
If you just want it for your computer, check out rdio.com - they are half the price and don't check credit card address

Smart DJ

I loved this function on my Zune HD, also works fine on my PC. Two questions:
a) Do you manage to create a Smart DJ Mix from your phone?
b) What do you make of this function in general?
Doesn't work on my Omnia 7 in Germany, sadly. Does it work for anyone without a Zune Pass?

You can try checking off 'pick music from mp' in setting and than try smart dj.. maybe than it will pick only from ur collection.. but wont that be like playing music on a shuffle mode..? cos than their is noone telling it to be 'smart' and pick music with similar tastes.. thats where data connectivity and zunepass thing comes in..
I have a Zune pass in the UK and when I do smart DJ on my pc it just picks tracks from my collection
edit didnt even know it was meant to pick from zune content as well, a little bit of googling and in the uk it will only show non collection content if you start the smart dj off from inside marketplace
UK people get ripped off, no 10 free tracks and no proper smart dj by the sounds of it
I've never had a Zune Pass and on my Zune HD I could use Smart DJ just fine, it would work within my own collection. On my phone it doesn't work at all. Zune Support on twitter told me I had to make the mix on my PC first then sync it with my phone. Either he was talking out of his butt or this is a totally stupid move by Microsoft.

Have you made sure you have gone to settings--->applications---->music and video checked "use music from marketplace" when using smart DJ.
All working fine for me - some of th choices it comes up with are a little esoteric, but hey............UK HD7 (I have a Zune Pass)

God, that's stupid. I bet it won't even update the playlist on the phone in realtime, e.g. I dislike a song on my phone and it isn't removed from my playlist without syncing again.
no problems of any sort with smartDJ on my arrive and I've been using it since the first mango beta but then again I also have a Zune pass but there is an option that can be unchecked from picking music from the marketplace.
No problems here. Works fine on UK HD7 with Zune pass. Also found out something I didn't know. When playing the tracks if you tap the name of the track below the album cover it shows the playlist that has been chosen for you & this can also be saved. Neat feature.

I'm talking about using it without a Zune Pass which again, I could do on my Zune HD (and can still do on my PC). Has anyone tried that on their WP?

I recognized that the artist artwork/background is gone from my phone too with Mango. I have smart dj and artwork in Zune on my notebook, but nothing on my phone anymore, nada. And I think there were biographies in the player too?
What the hell, why do they disable features? I can't even buy a Zune Pass in Germany...

Same problem here and I'm in the UK and have the Zune Pass 14-day trial. I didn't have a phone before Mango so can't comment on functionality before the update.
