Found something pretty awesome here. Might be known around the internetz but I had never tried this. If you pay for 1 month of the zune pass service and stop paying, your songs stop working at the end of that month right? Not really. Hook the Zune up to the 360 and it plays fine O.O Might only work for offline 360s but I don't know.

Something like that happened to me but it only lasted for like 3 months after.

What does that have to do with it?

@JoshS: Burning songs onto a disc effectively strips it of any DRM. Meaning you would actually have your songs. Like you wouldn't need to listen to them on your 360. Get it?

Except the zune pass drm doesn't allow the burning on cds unless you buy the drm-free mp3s. If I wasn't on Windows 7, I could just use Tunebite to convert them to mp3s and get rid of the drm. As it is though, it doesn't work on Win7. Hopefully that gets patched :)

I usually would pay for a month of zune pass, download a ton of music, use tunebite to 'fix' the songs, and then cancel the zune pass. Really, I could just do what most people do these days and torrent/p2p the music, but I enjoy the instant organization zune marketplace gives lol
