News from Microsoft here about their revamped Zune offering. Not sure the whole "customise your Zune player" is any great leap however, given people are doing that already by purchasing customized cases, getting their players engraved already in many weird and wonderful ways (knitted nano cover anyone?).
More interesting is the software component and the creation of their own social music network. Can't see it yet as it's down for maintenance, but to me that gives them something unique over iTunes and could offer a tangible alternative to music lovers like me.
Talking about loving music, have just moved up north and was driving back to London to the sounds of Steve Lamacq's brilliant show. Why are they only giving him an hour on an evening monday slot I'll never know, but it's fab and you can listen to it again from here.
Failing that, head over to NYUB for an equally brilliant podcast of new music. Around an hour of sonic joy and goodness, released around once a month.
