Americancivilwar.com Product Description
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.


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, 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 Reviews for  'Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Black)'
 
Typical Microsoft
I agree that the Zune has a good look about it, though a bit heavy and thick (as others have mentioned). I tried using the software that came with it, downloaded the upgrade of the software. Didn't sync well at all or it did partially. As a well-seasoned Microsoft user (now Vista) I decided to use Windows Media Player (as it said on the MP panel). After being very excited about that initially ... that didn't work either. I went online only to see what experience others had. After reading several not-so-flattering blogs from others trying to find a way for this thing to work, I finally found a way to solve my problem. I went to the workshop and took out a hammer and applied it to the Zune. No more problem. It was in a funny way very therapeutic. I think we both felt better as both of us were out of our misery. I went and got an iPod Classic. Not a single problem with that. Stay clear of anything Microsoft. I'm now a convert to Apple.
 
Wow. I never thought I could hate a product this much...
Okay, so I bought a Zune (one that was refurbished.) and thought, "Maybe the people who complain in the reviews aren't very computer knowledgeable." Ho,ho,ho was I wrong! And am I sorry I thought that!

Installing the software had some glitches (I needed a roll-up service pack for my Media Center? WTF?), was really slow ( I clocked it at 2hours 15minutes) and it took too long to start up. I waited 5 minutes until the screen popped up. NO JOKE!

What I really hated was the fact that you couldn't choose the content loaded into your media player. There are just some songs that I just want to listen to on my computer and not on an MP3 player.

Now, I have some movies from the public archive website and they wouldn't load into the player. WHY GOD, WHY? Well apparently, you have to convert the movie into some sort of weird format and then send it to the Zune folder. I also couldn't put t.v. shows on my player, which was the main reason I bought that player! Again, I had to convert it and I just don't have the time or the patience to do that. Also, I have taken some songs from my mom's computer and put it on mine and downloaded the license and everything, but they said that I have to have had the original c.d. ripped to my computer. *SCREAMS*

So in conclusion, DO NOT for my sanity and yours, BUY THIS PLAYER! If you want a pain-free player, buy a Sansa E series. It goes into Windows Media Player and no weird software!

This player is junk and Microsoft should be ashamed!

I really liked this item. its great for when I run & has a radio & not to mention lots of space for all my music & photos
 
Awesome!
This is a great product! I'm glad I got the Zune player over the iPod because of the larger screen. My one friend who has a 30 GB iPod asked me how if I liked my Zune player because he was thinking of getting one too and I told him that I LOVED it!

I love this product. It's easy to travel with, and I enjoy watching videos, movies, listening to music and the radio.
