The Zune Community and Marketplace
We’re all exhausted by the cables and wires that tangle up our lives. Luckily, the Zune is one device that doesn’t require another cord. You can easily connect to your home wireless network and sync your Zune with your PC collection of digital goodies. You can also sync using the dock, AC adapter, or speaker dock accessory (not included). This attractive, powerful device does much more than connect you to just your collection. The Zune is all about sharing and community. At the Zune Online Community you’ll discover, share, and leave your musical mark. Create a Zune card and Zune profile page to reflect your musical identity. From the Zune Online Community you can invite friends, share song recommendations, post comments, and browse member pages to unearth new tunes and connect to others who share your musical tastes.

When you’re ready to purchase music and load your device with new tunes, turn to the Zune Marketplace.

The store is always open and just a mouse click away. You can also choose between the download or subscription packages–buy individual songs and albums, or snag a Zune Pass subscription with all you can eat access to discover and explore the nooks and cranies of artists and genres.

Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Once your Zune is loaded with good stuff, you’ll be ready to embrace wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing. Share full-length tracks of your favorite songs, albums, playlists, pictures, and even audio podcasts. You can listen to the full track of any song you receive up to three times. And you can even pass along songs that are shared with you to other friends. If you find a song you really love, you can easily add it to your wishlist and buy it later when you sync to your PC. When it comes to syncing and importing your music, the Zune makes it easy. Zune software can automatically import your existing music, pictures and videos from iTunes and Windows Media Player in a variety of formats, including your existing playlists and song ratings.

FM Radio, TV Shows, and More
The Zune will also automatically import TV shows or movies recorded using a PC running Windows Media Center in Windows Vista. Record all your favorites, sync to your Zune, and hit the road with your favorite TV shows right in your pocket. The Zune also features a built-in FM radio tuner so you can listen to local FM stations or tune in programming while you’re at the gym. Advanced tuning capabilities allow you to see the name of the song currently playing on select frequencies. Another awesome feature is the Zune’s compatibility with the Xbox 360. Plug your Zune into your Xbox 360 to customize the soundtrack in supported games. You can also stream music, pictures and vidoes from the Zune software on your PC to your Xbox 360 console using a wireless connection. Whether you’re staying in or going out, travelling or working, the Zune can be right there with you, providing loads of entertainment direct from your pocket.

Customer Review: Great MP3 player!
This little thing has it all and my wife absolutely loves it! Music, pics, video, podcasts, radio, All Included!! What else could you ask for! And I got it for 99 dollars, way cheaper than all the big electronic stores around!
Customer Review: Surprisingly pleased with it.
When I switched from an ipod to this Zune, my main concern was the lack of an Equalizer function. But it turns out that the sound is very good as is. I think the earphones are better than ipod’s. The reason I switched from ipod is because I couldn’t get the ipod to communicate with my computer - turns out the Zune had the same problem. So I went to another computer in the house and the Zune works fine -I’m sure the ipod would have worked as well. Anyway, I have no complaints with the Zune device, nor with the software. I think the screen size is fine, unless watching a movie.

Customer Review: perfect
works perfect for big or small arms. holds the zune tightly, good access to buttons, easy to remove the zune when done. easy to clean! 100% would buy it again.
Customer Review: Wonderful Product
All I can really say is that this is a wonderful product. Detailed instructions about how to put the armband through the sleeve would’ve been nice but I figured it out after about five minutes. I suggest it to anyone as a cheaper alternative to protecting the outside of your Zune effectively while still giving you access to every button.

Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Red) Entertainment and sharing to go. That’s the Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player. The Zune plays music and videos, displays images, and unlike the iPod, it even receives FM radio so you can stay on top of local news or sports. Designed around the principles of sharing, discovery, and community, Zune connects people and empowers them with the tools needed to share entertainment experiences. The Zune experience is centered around connection–connection to your library, friends, community, and other Zunes. It’s powered by software that allows users to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace.

The Zune lets you share music and pictures with other Zune users in the area. View menu interface.

The controls are designed to be familiar and easy to use so you can jump right in and start having fun. View larger.

Zune software can find compatible music files on your PC and copy them to your Zune device.

The Zune comes equipped with everything you need to get started as well preloaded music and video content. View larger.

Browse more than 100,000 artist bios and hundreds of playlists in the Zune Marketplace.

The Zune is a 30 GB digital media player, but there’s a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures, or your own home-grown tunes directly from Zune to Zune (within 30 feet). You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you love, and easily buy them the next time you sync up–its like test-driving songs before you purchase an album.

The Zune’s navigation is simple and intuitive with a scroll wheel and basic buttons, and the big, bright screen makes it easy to browse music and show off your favorite pictures and videos. This attractive, smart device stores up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video. Get creative. Make playlists on the go and watch slide shows while you’re listening. And if you’re watching video on the Zune, you’ll be pleased with the landscape mode that allows you to get the most out of the vivid display.

Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Don’t forget the primary principle of the Zune: sharing. With this device in hand you’re holding an opportunity to share music and photos wirelessly from one Zune to another. Send your favorite tracks or images to your friends, or just about anyone with a Zune that’s within your reach.

Whether you’re walking down the street, in a room with a bunch of friends, at a concert, at the airport, or on the bus, you can whip out your Zune and see all the other Zune devices that surround you. In the blink of an eye you’re connected to your best friend and you can send over your band’s newest song. Another friend might get the hilarious podcast your little brother made at school, plus that hot new song you just downloaded from the Zune Marketplace. And, of course, there’s all the good stuff that your friends want to send back your way. The connections are made and the Zune community grows.

Best of all, the song you sent (or received) isn’t a short 30-second preview–it’s the whole song. Your friend can sample the song up to three times in three days, flag it on their device and then buy it from the Zune Marketplace. You can send pictures, too. If you loved the photo of your dog at the park and you just have to share it with your buddies, shoot it off to whoever is around. And any pictures that are sent or received can be kept and viewed indefinitely.

Sometimes you don’t want to be noticed, and the Zune allows you to fly under the radar. All you need to do is turn the wireless function off, or adjust the privacy settings to control whether people can see you are online. And if you want to keep your Zune private while studying in the library or reading the newspaper on the bus, you can also block Zune devices in wireless range from sending you a song.

Zune Marketplace
Zune makes it easy to find music you love–whether it’s songs in your existing library or new music from the Zune Marketplace. You can easily import your existing music, pictures, and videos in many popular formats from your PC and browse millions of songs at the Zune Marketplace where you can purchase individual tracks or buy a Zune Pass subscription to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee. Plus, you can apply Microsoft Points towards the purchase of music so you can buy online without a credit card for added security. At the Zune Marketplace you can read over 100,000 artist biographies and features from leading magazines including XLR8R, NME, and FADED, and you’ll have easy access to Billboard Charts, including Billboard 200, Hot 100 Songs, and more. You’ll even be able to browse what people in the Zune community are listening to by checking out the Zune Charts.

Pre-Loaded Content
Zune is a vehicle to explore new sounds and share entertainment experiences. With that in mind, the Zune comes pre-loaded with a variety of songs and videos from hot, new artists, as well as some fun films and images. With something for everyone, the pre-loaded Zune content may help you discover your new favorite band, but at the very least you’ll have some entertainment at your fingertips so you can start connecting and sharing. Zune pre-loaded content includes loads of audio tracks, music videos, and film shorts, plus 12 classic rock posters from “Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion.”

Customer Review: Microsoft wins again
The Zune is just like all your other MP3 players with radio and video, but it also has the benefit of Microsoft behind it. Think of what else has Microsoft behind it. Xbox, your computer, they all work with the Zune. I’m able to play the music and videos from my zune through my Xbox and onto my TV. Then there’s also the wonderfull-ness of file sharing between Zunes. Yeah. Basically it’s a good buy.
Customer Review: not worth the trouble!
I bought the Zune for my little brother in November. It stopped working before Christmas, so I exchanged it for another one. The second one stopped working as well. I will be buying an IPOD now.

Customer Review: Zune Car Pack
Purchased a car pack for my Zune. Now I can play my Zune music through my car radio. I shopped around for the best price on this produce and found Amazon to be far less than anywhere else (and it was delivered to my door). It works perfectly.
Customer Review: Car Radio adapter for Zune
Maybe we are too new for this but the radio adapter is frequently fuzzy and there is interference. The auto tune is not usefull as it seems to select a station that has a broadcast. The charger is good and makes sense to have the ability to charge the unit while travelling.
