I think that AAC DRM-free tracks will play on the Zune just fine. :-)<BR/><BR/>You should know that ANY country in the world has a lower market share for Apple products than the US. But fear not, even in Europe the market share is increasing and Apple will eventually build a few retail stores in France, Germany, etc. In France, Mac sales increased by 37% in <A HREF="http://www.macgeneration.com/mgnews/depeche.php?aIdDepeche=119726" REL="nofollow">2005</A> and Apple was number one in the education market with a <A HREF="http://www.macgeneration.com/mgnews/depeche.php?aIdDepeche=119599" REL="nofollow">19.5% share</A>. Last year Apple's edu share increased to <A HREF="http://www.macgeneration.com/mgnews/depeche.php?aIdDepeche=124291" REL="nofollow">21.7%</A>. The Mac market share is now 2.8% in <A HREF="http://www.macgeneration.com/mgnews/depeche.php?aIdDepeche=124352" REL="nofollow">Germany</A> and above 3 percent in <A HREF="http://www.macgeneration.com/mgnews/depeche.php?aIdDepeche=124247" REL="nofollow">France</A>. The iPod is also gaining share over there.
