In a post this morning over on a Wired blog, Leander Kahney says:
The Zune’s only original feature is Wi-Fi song sharing, which will allow Zune owners to search for others nearby and temporarily trade songs over the air. Traded tunes will be playable up to three times over three days, and can be flagged on the player for later purchase online. Otherwise they disappear.
But while it’s obvious that sharing songs will be fun with friends at school or college, it’s not an activity that will take off in public. It’ll largely be confined to peer groups.
How do I know this? Because that’s what’s happening with iTunes music sharing, which does more or less the same thing with a computer over a network, instead of peer-to-peer.
Think of the typical experience with iTunes at the office or conferences. Instead of finding all kinds of cool new bands, you marvel at the dreadful taste of your co-workers.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.  Image credit: Daily Tech.
