Ok, right off the bat, I kept the $14.99 plan. There was no way you're taking 10 free songs each month from me. I'm probably one of those people who uses that feature religiously. That's $10 worth of music that isn't necessarily coming out of my pocket, especially since I get $15 worth of streaming from my PC, Windows Phone 7 (on new release days) and Xbox 360 (makes for great Sunday afternoon listening).

So I wanted to discuss a bit about the music video streaming feature that's been added as part of the plan. Whether you have the new or the classic plan, you now have this ability to stream most (not all) of the music videos available in the Zune Marketplace. Much like the music, some videos aren't available for streaming (thank the labels, most likely).

All you have to do is go find a video and hit the play button. When that video is done, go find another one and wash, rinse, repeat.

Wait, what?

Yeah, there really isn't an easy way to take advantage of music video streaming at the moment. It was what I was afraid of. After 20 minutes of sitting there and cherry picking videos, I grew tired of it. I would've much rather downloaded the song and listen to that on repeat. For me, right now, music video streaming isn't intuitive enough to be valuable to me, especially on the PC.

I'm hoping that with the new Xbox update in the Fall that the Zune app gets a makeover and makes the music video streaming more intuitive. I would love to have a way to just line up a bunch of music videos in a row and just let them play. Currently, in the Xbox 360 Zune App, if you go to the section about "ME" and you go to the music videos that you personally purchased, there is a way to just "Play All" and let them run. When you host a party for friends, having these music videos just run on a screen or even a projector outside on a large wall, would be ideal and awesome.

Right now, though, I can't really see myself getting value out of streaming music videos. It's nice for a quick hit of something (puff, puff, give) but when you wanna sit and have that long tote, it's not kosher. (Don't do drugs, kids!)

What do you you guys think of music video streaming? What could be done to make that more of a value-add for Zune Pass subscribers?
