Zune might enable users to sell tracks to friends

Reports suggest Microsoft may expand the Zune player so owners can share limited previews of tracks with friends and earn a cut of any resulting sale.

Reports suggest that the Zune player from Microsoft might become a portable music store, enabling its owner to take a cut for selling music onto their friends. According to Zune Scene plans are afoot to expand the Microsoft music player's ability to allow one user to give another user a limited play preview, by allowing the second user to opt to buy the track, rewarding the original user with a cut of the profit from the sale, if that makes sense. Actually it would be quite a cool facility, providing any one Zune player owner can find another one among all the iPod users.
