Backstage with the Zune Marketplace Team

"Like many Microsoft Corp. employees, Kyle Hopkins and his team bring years of experience to their jobs. Unlike many others, they won't be found debating the finer points of Windows coding or SQL Server database security. But if the subject is the musical similarities between the Germs and the Blood Brothers, then this is the right group. Hopkins -- also known as DJ "Kid Hops" on KEXP-FM -- leads a group of music experts, disc jockeys, producers, journalists and musicians responsible for editorial content and programming on Zune Marketplace. The online music service works with the Zune device, Microsoft's bid to take on Apple Inc.'s dominant iTunes and iPod combination."



If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to be in the shoes of the folks behind the content found in online music stores, then look no further than Seattle PI's trip backstage with the Zune Marketplace team. You'll find that they're not your average group of geeks - in fact, far from it.

Shots of the Seattle Launch

"A Zune is born this day. This morning, Bill Gates bounced on stage, in Zune jacket and all, and introduced Zune to a crowd of enthusiastic Seattleites. Bill was preceded on stage by Secret Machines, who played a short set. We had breakfast with the Zune team, along with some lucky contest winners, and with Ben, Brandon, and Josh from Secret Machines."



It looked pretty cold in Seattle yesterday, but that wasn't going to stop the people gathering to see what Bill Gates and the Zune team had up their sleeves. Harvey from Zunerama snapped a few shots of the action. Head over there for a look.
