Zune Marketplace: Songs to be re-downloadable

The problem with many of the big online music stores like Apple’s iTunes is that once you lose a downloaded file, you’re screwed.  Backing up all of your songs can be a pain when you download (legally) as much as some people.  That’s why Microsoft is taking on this issue by allowing customers of the Zune Marketplace to have up to 5 downloads of the same song.  And just like with a Windows product key, you can call up tech support and complain when you’ve gone over your allotted amount.  All I can say is hooray for Microsoft for giving us this option.  Obviously backing up is still the way to go since Microsoft can exercise their right to discontinue this feature at any time.
