The Seattle Weekly's Nina Shapiro has an article on the Zune that falls one day prior to Microsoft's unveiling of its new product. The article talks to people involved in the project -- J. Allard ("the visionary behind Zune," marketer Chris Stephenson -- and the company's strategy.

One strategy is to work with labels like Sub Pop. ""They were very, very interested in small bands," says Tony Kiewel, Sub Pop's head of A&R.

Funny quote: Allard calls the iPod "the Pong of digital music."
