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.

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."
