Richard Winn, Microsoft Zune's manager of artist development, has an interview on DNWmedia. He talks about the reasons Microsoft selected to support many indie upcoming artists instead of mainstream ones...
“We saw establishing credibility with the music community from the beginning as very important. Forget the approach of doing research on our key audience of 18-28 year-olds and who are the biggest artists for that group. We don’t want to Zune to be seen as a mainstream device, but an ‘everything’ device. We want to appeal to the top 40 audience, but not at the cost of smaller and upcoming artists”, adds Winn.

We are trying to establish that Zune is not just a player, but a brand that has an editorial voice of its own.
