Zune Pass

Anyone have any suggestions on Zune Pass? I'm going to sign up tomorrow and figured I'd ask how people are using it. My Zune HD is pretty packed right now.

What percentage of music do you have on your Zune that is Zune pass music?

I signed up for the zune pass trial last week and I think I'm going to keep it. I don't usually like to buy music because I think it's a waste of money in that I get tired of listening to last years music. After 6 months, my previously played music usually just sits in my hard drive taking up space. At least with the zune pass, I always have a fresh new list of artists/albums/songs. Because I have access to more music, my recommended playlists are even more diverse than if it were just limited to my collection.

What would make it even better is if there was a cheaper option like say, $5 with no free music to keep or $10 with 5 free music to keep compared to $15 with 10 free music to keep.

I generally keep my Zune pass music to popular music of today. The songs that are usually played ad nauseum on the radio. I know after a while I won't want to hear them anymore. I keep credits for classic rock or 90s alternative songs I know I don't mind hearing over and over.

I've been using the favorites system to pair down my HD. There is a large portion of my music collection that I have no interest in listening to much of it, let alone on the Zune.

I might sign up tonight. Really enjoying the HD. Need to rip more of my music DVD's, live shows, etc.

I too will use my credits for stuff that I know will never grow old. Plenty of good classics that I still don't own -- mostly 80's stuff.
