I just can't get mine to work. And does it only play fm stations and not the albums you have loaded on the zune?

Hi Pamela,The Zune Car thingy should be able to play what you have on your Zune, that's its job. You don't want it to play the radio from the zune because your cars radio already does that. You should be tuning it from the car pack itself on the square thingy and your car to find the best signal for it.I also find that the zunes proximity to the radio helps, like resting it on the dashboard or within its compartment. The Car packs are a tricky business from ipods to zunes. The ones that are like cassette readers if your car has a cassette player (good luck with that one) that does the job very well and won't interrupt your music with incoming radio. If you have any other questions let me know. Hi Pamela,The Zune Car thingy should be able to play what you have on your Zune, that's its job.

It wasn't noted when I bought it, but found out AFTER I got it that it was a refurbished unit. That thing was a piece of crap that was pretty much DOA and wouldn't even power up after a couple days. Good Luck!

I plugged the Zune Car Pack into the power receptical of my car, plugged the Zune into the Car Pack, tuned my radio to an FM station that was mostly static, then tuned the Car Pack to that station. The sound from the Zune played through the radio. I had to put the tuning box atop the radio for best sound, since the box is the FM transmitter and the closer to the radio it was, the better the signal was. Are you certain the power receptical is working? My radio has RDS capability and the radio's screen displays the artist and track information of the song the Zune is playing.

tune your car stereo to one of the stations you pick on the zune keypad, it broadcasts an fm signal directly to your car much like a radio station

If you have a newer vehicle, I'm guessing you may have issues. I had a 1998 and it worked so-so; you have to find a station that doesn't come in or you'll get playback from the radio station. You can play all your downloaded music on your Zune through your car pack IF you can locate a station without feedback.Hope this helps.

Ipod and Zune's have two different docks. If it was a usb connection then you could but they wouldn't call it an ipod dock.

amazon mp3 dowload center works, just make sure you have the zune software looking for music in the folder amazon downloads to. The napster homepage lists zune as a compatable device, so it should also work, though iI have not tried it. I strongly suggest trying out the zune pass from zune marketplace. 15 bucks a month gets you 99% of the music in the entire marketplace. Truly remarkable if you are buying 2 albums per month anywhere else (including amazon). I only use amazon if zune marketplace doesn't offer the album. Hope this helps, happy holidays!

All MP3s will work on the device, but some features on the Zune HD won't be available unless you buy from the Zune Pass, like the artist background.

Hi,Can songs from my windows media player be downloaded onto the Zune?Thanks

No. And, I can't get mine to play ANY mp3 on sd card or usb stick. May be operator error, a fluke or whatever - but now it's my fluke :-(.

I also bought this item and experienced the same .My advise to you is to format the device then try putting the music on it via USB connector,IF it still doesn't work then there is a possibility that the problem is within the mp3 or USB.

Is it possible to transfer music from the IPOD onto the ZUNE, and vice versa?

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

If you have a usb mp3 player it will not read the music files. If you copy mp3 files to a usb drive (no folders) it will play them.

Hi, I use an MP3 player and it is working for me :), I hope it works for you!

I've tested it on several sound-playing apps on the unit, and none of them play FLACs. However, it may be that I simply don't have the proper application.

Bought it for my husband. He uses it to play his music he has on his zune while lifting weights in the storage building behind our house. He said he never used it to play radio stations, but it should work fine. Havent had any problems with these speakers. It's been a great purchase!!

Do you know what generation zune you have? Unfortunately my zune broke before I was able to use it. I had a 30gb zune which was a little boxy and not slender

Unfortunately, the Zune HD is not 100% compatible with the speaker dock because it's not an Android phone. You may be able to hear the music play, but the buttons, remote, and charger won't work. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I'm quite sure that it doesn't work with a Zune. At least not without a lot of effort to find an adapter. It is also not equipped with an auxiliary input jack. I think it would be best to find a dock made specifically for the Zune. Good luck!

What issues are you having? Does the unit power up? It can be tricky to find the right station to tune to. I had to switch from the default before I could hear my player.
