Download Zune: the Zune Marketplace
What Is It?
The Zune Marketplace is the first place you might want to visit for premium Zune downloads. It is accessible on the Internet through the URL zune.net and one can register to browse the site for free.
Not Just a Market – The Zune Marketplace, however, is basically just that: a market. It offers Zune users the opportunity to download millions of files in various content types for them to enjoy on their Zune players. This includes music, movies, music videos, audio books, images, software, and games. This content can all be used on the Zune and can also be used on the PC, with the exception of some of the games and software that is specifically designed for use on the Zune only.
Music and Videos – The Zune Marketplace is a site that offers more than 3 million DRM-free songs, music videos, video podcasts, and almost anything and everything that entertains Zune users. With the simple click of a mouse, a member can download anything that is on the site and downloads are unlimited for as long as a person remains a member. The cost for membership is on a monthly basis for about $15.
What Does DRM-Free Mean?
The music that is offered on the Zune Marketplace is DRM-free which basically means that is offered without Digital Rights Management. These formats are popular on the internet at present and can be downloaded from this place as well as from iTunes and Napster. There are issues regarding DRM-free music, the most important being that songs may be of lesser quality but this is not always the case. In fact, stores like the Zune Marketplace provide high quality songs as well.
Why Should I Join?
One-Stop Marketplace – The great thing about the Zune Marketplace is that it is the best place to download Zune material. But more than just downloading stuff, it is a great place to get to know other people who are a part of the Zune community. You can discover new music through them, make new friends, and subscribe to material that you never imagined would entertain you. You can do all this just by signing up and making your own Zune Card.
The Zune Card – The Zune Card allows you to get your own profile page and Zune Tag which is how people will identify you on the site. You can customize your own Zune Card and manage your Zune account over the internet.
Membership – You can purchase your monthly membership through your account so that you can have access to unlimited downloads that you can share with your community friends. Additionally, more than being able to download Zune material you can participate in various discussions in the Zune forums.

Zune – Pros and Cons
Tony Connor asked:
The Zune is the first real competitor to the iPod and has some features the iPod doesn’t and, in some areas, it isn’t as good. I have researched the Zune and have put together a list of the more common pros and cons. A lot of these are compared to the iPod, but not all.
Pros
Better sounding music – even though the Zune does not have an equalizer people have reported that the music sounds better.
Can use click and/or touch – if you don’t like the click wheel (from the iPod) you are able to use the touch method on the Zune where, for instance, to go down a list you just touch the bottom of the pad.
Great screen – large, clear and easy to read.
Navigation – once you are used to it, it is very friendly.
FM radio – also includes RDBS
Supports podcasts – so you can still get you fix of your favorite podcast
Wireless sync with PC using WiFi – so much better than a cable!
Well made – feels solid.
Cons
Battery life – a common complaint for media players, especially for people who watch a lot of video.
PC Software – the software can take a while to get used to (so much so, people can give up), but once you’re used to it, it’s better than iTunes.
Changing from an iPod – Apple doesn’t make it easy to move music!
Cannot be used to store files – this is a feature most MP3 players have, strange that the Zune doesn’t.
Overall the Zune is a welcome addition to the media player market. It can be hard to give up your iPod, especially when you are used to it, but you should consider the Zune next time you are looking to replace your media player.

Zune compatibility and iPod formatting–Ask the Editors
The Zune HD is picky about software.
(Credit: Microsoft)
Q: I received the Sony Walkman X-Series last month as a birthday gift and absolutely love it. I did, however, see you on CNET Live with Donald Bell featuring the Microsoft Zune HD, which I was very impressed with. I also saw the price on Amazon, which I was also very impressed with. My question is does the new Zune work with Windows Media Player 11? Someone told me it doesn’t and that all your downloads are through Zune Pass, which I believe is a music store like iTunes.–Ben, via e-mail
A: The Zune operates in a closed environment, much like the iPod. So yes, it is only meant to be used with the Zune Software, and it will not operate correctly with WMP11 (though I have heard rumors of people getting previous Zunes to work outside of the “environment”). The one major difference between the Zune and the iPod, however, is the Zune Pass, which is a subscription music service that lets you download and transfer all the music you want for $14.99 per month. (This plan also includes 10 songs per month in MP3 format, which you get to download and own outright.) You may also choose to pay per song through the Zune Marketplace, which operates like iTunes.
So with the Zune, you have three levels of music management and ownership to consider. At a minimum, you must use the Zune Software to transfer any media to the device, though this can be limited to content you already own. Next, there’s the Zune Marketplace, which lives inside the Software and provides content (music and video) for purchase, as well as access to things like podcasts, which are generally free. For the most comprehensive experience, you might choose the Zune Pass, which provides fairly unlimited access for a monthly fee.

(Credit: MediaFour)Q: My daughters bought me an iPod for my 50th birthday and formatted it and my favorite CDs with their Mac computer. I have tried to add new music from my PC but it wont recognize the player, saying it was formatted with a Mac. How can I save the music on the iPod and reformat it to work with my PC?–TJ, via e-mail
A: This is a common problem that boils down to the fact that PCs have no built-in means to read Mac-formatted drives. There are a couple software solutions out there, but the best one seems to be a program from MediaFour called X Play.
You can get a free trial download using the link, which may be enough for you to copy all the files to your PC. Then, after all your media is backed up, you reformat the iPod to PC, sync all the content back, and just use iTunes on your PC from there on out.

How to make video playlists for iTunes, iPod, and iPhone
Most people are pretty familiar with making music playlists in iTunes (if you’re not, we can help). Video playlists are a less common sight. iTunes already does a pretty good job grouping your TV shows and video podcasts together in their correct order. But for all you video junkies out there who want to create playlists that scan your vast library of “Family Guy” episodes with “Stewie” in the title, playlists can be a lot of fun.
If the ultimate goal is to get these video playlists onto your iPod or iPhone, there are a few hurdles worth knowing about. For all the ins and outs of making video playlists for iTunes, the iPod, or the iPhone, check out our CNET How to video or check the step-by-step slideshow.
