...divided listeners with its tinkling harp, surreal lyrics, and, above all, Newsom’s lilting, often childlike, voice. “Ys,” her sophomore effort, only accentuates her most challenging qualities—and in doing so achieves perfection. A mere five songs in length, “Ys” nonetheless stretches to almost an hour. Each song becomes a fairy tale, allowing Newsom to experiment with words in a way her debut album did not. Proving herself a master storyteller, Newsom’s fantastical, erudite vocabulary and haunting imagery are given context...
...chicken-and-egg proposition: it might take a long time before there are enough Zunes around for this to be more than a once-in-a-blue-moon situation. There are also some issues that will, hopefully, be resolved in time. For instance, if you want to share the song you're listening to, or even any other song while you're listening, your tune will stop playing for the transfer. Also, even if both Zune users have all-you-can-eat monthly plans, the three-day, three-play rule remains in effect. And even songs with no rights-management...
...question isn't what can the Zune do that the iPod can't do, but what can the Zune do that all the other non-iPods can't? Microsoft's answer is wireless connectivity.

Also, while I found most of the interface to be pleasant, I did run into some strange starting and stopping issues. For instance, say you're listening to a song and browsing through your music when you're suddenly interrupted by someone. You hit the Play/Pause button and your music stops. But when you hit Play/Pause again, it will start playing whatever song you're currently highlighting, not what you were listening to. On the iPod, this is handled by having separate buttons...
...also a traditional order that is based in Mantiwoc, Wisc. In 2003, the order hired a Milwaukee-based marketing team in 2003 to help them recruit young women. The firm produced several TV and radio spots, as well as this multi-platform web site. The site features a downloadable song of the month that is donated by up-and-coming Christian artists, a blog written by the sisters and a podcast...
