    Not sure exactly type of streaming mode your talking about. 

    Here's all the ways i stream with my Zune Pass

    • Directly from Software. Many ways SmartDJ, Channels, Playlist, etc.
    • From the Zune.net website either using SmartDJ or listening to particular albums or songs.
    • From my WP7 No SmartDJ on WP7:-(, listening to either a playlist i found while searching, album, artist or song
    • Zune HD streaming albums, artist and songs as well as using SmartDJ
    • Older Zune's can stream from Marketplace the songs, album or artist....but i didn't use it much on my old 30 GB.
    • XBOX 360 - i don't have one.

    I really hope that SmartDJ though is included in MANGO, that makes LastFM and Pandora no longer needed for me.

    Enable Images Resizing option on Zune software for Zune HD in order to allow users choose whether resize or keep original resolution of images. That'd be very good and make sense for zooming feature on Zune HD.

    I would suggest two Ra albums, Black Sheep and Black Sun (remastered). I find it odd that the other two Ra albums are on marketplace but not the most recent two.

    I used to be yahoo/rhapsody customer. Switched to zune a long time ago. The biggest thing I miss and ms really needs to copy is being able to stream content from within the client.

    In Rhapsody you could choose to stream or download to your computer. If you add something to your library in "streaming mode" or whatever it was called, it was more of like a book mark and this way you could make playlists and stuff no matter where the content was, either downloaded or streaming.

    Similarly, I want to be able to save my playlists on one computer and access them from any zune client, pc software, xbox, phone etc.

    Rhapsody would let you sync up your library. So if for example at home I always chose to download so I could listen off line, and at work I always chose to stream. If I added some songs to my library at work "streamed book marks" or  whatever it was called, when I got home they would automatically appear in my library and download.

    And I'm not talking about cloud storage of my physically ripped cd's I'm only talking about zune pass content. But with that said,

    If say you have made a playlist on your home computer where you added tracks from an album you bought through market place or ripped. And it is not currently in your library on other computers either as drm or drm free, then automatically stream from zune marketplace if that is an available title. This feature wasn't in rhapsody and it was the one only they were missing.

    I want to be able to see how many times I have played my songs/albums. Whether this is on the website or in the software, it would be really nice.

    The Zune software does show you how many times you've played each song. Go to your music collection and view by song. You may need to right-click at the top of the list to add the 'Play Count' column. This column shows how many times each song has been played.

    There isn't anything for albums. I would like it if there were more options for this kind of thing.
