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.
The controls are designed to be familiar and easy to use so you
can jump right in and start having fun. View larger ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000FMZE7W-1-lg.jpg ).
Zune software can find compatible music files on your PC and copy
them to your Zune device.
Wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing lets you share your favorite tracks
and photos.
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, 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 rtunity 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, 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,
