Zune is very easy to use - and no WMP is a standalone software and only syncs to plays for sure devices, like Archos, creative (for example)Install the zune software, and just use it to find your files and import them. They will still be in WMP. The Zune software is a lot more sophisticated, and I think you will like it.

The zune software will import your mp3 or wma files from your computer to its library. You can also purchase music from Zune marketplace, and/or get a subscription which is $14.99 a month and gives you 10 downloads each month.

I have thousands of songs on my WMP 11, can't I just use that to sync? And if I have to "import" all of it to Zune's software, will it still be on my WMP too?

You are welcome, and I should clarify a little bit. The zune subscription allows you to download any song you want to listen to and sync to your zune every month, and you get to keep 10 songs per month (you just "buy" them with your credits.) As long as you keep the subscription, those millions of songs you download to sync to your zune will be playable/syncable. The 10 songs you "buy" with your credits are yours to keep forever. :)

Have you been able to find any more suggestions on a frozen zune? I have tried your ideas, but it's still frozen. I would appreciate any more info you might have to offer.Thanks!

Kevin, u got it wrong..It comes with a USB cable which will charge your player the moment you connect it to your PC :) Same goes for iPod..The charger that you see on the marketplace is IF you want to plug in the Zune to power socket.. :) While you are syncing your player, it will do the charging for you..isnt that just fine?

Ok great thanks for your comments; was getting scared, thought that this version was coming out with problems. BTW, what do you think about the Zune or the Creative Zen? do they match with iPod?Thanks once again

Hmmm.... why only 60?My 40G player I got 3 years ago has 36G full. And my music is on a machine that does not run windows. But, of course, I'd "upgrade" to a Zune if I weren't such a fanboy. Instead I'm going to pay an exhorbinant $100 (40%) more, and get almost 3 (267%) times as much storage because that's the kind of stupid thing we fanboys do.Further proof of my fanboy lunacy is that I'm investing more dollars into a "closed" ecosystem when I could buy something that works on a multivendor platform like Plays For Sure.But hey, it makes me feel cool and pretty.

the 2.2 software is an excellent upgrade. i like the superior integration of podcast in the PC software and zune.to the problems with the library above: that was an issue for some (i didn't have any problems by telling the software to rebuild the info during load), to correct afterwards only required the deletion of the zune specific file folder with the information contained and allowing the information to be rebuilt with the new software. instructions can be found in the microsoft zune support, or knowlege base.

That is too bad about cucusoft. I downloaded various video to my zune with that program and it worked better than I expected. Maybe you should delete it from your zune and backup on your computer and copy it over again and reload it to your zune. good luck.

I recommend you download the Zune software at Zune.net and try it before purchasing the device. (You have to use the Zune software to "sync" your music to Zune device.) Zune supports mp3 and wma (as well as AAC), so you can transfer them easily if they are not DRM-"protected". (The Zune software only adds DRM-"protected" files from the Zune Marketplace to your Zune collection.) FYI http://forums.zune.net/242458/ShowPost.aspx

I wish people would stop blaming Amazon. Amazon is no longer selling the device. Its a MARKETPLACE seller that is using AMAZON To sell the Zune & unfortunately they have hacked up the price since the 80GB models are being discontinued. Dont blame Amazon, its the seller.

Ok so if they fix the problem but my Zune won't even get past the load screen without freezing, how will I be able to download the patch they come out with to fix the problem? They way I see it, my zune is now a $200 paper weight.

On my computer Zune automatically found all af my WMP and Itunes files and organized them.I have to say that after owning many MP-3 players, including I-Pods, that Zune is definately a good choice.

Regarding Pyrus Electronics 4gb Mp3 / mp4 / mp5 Player with 2.8 Inch Touch Screen and All Stainless Steel CasingI purchased 2 of the pink Pyrus Electronics 4GB Player for my 6 year old twin girls for Christmas 2011. I was able to load it up with music purchased via iTunes and Zune. However, this will NOT work with music that is DRM protected. For example, if you have a monthly subscription with music services like Rhapsody or Zune, you can only add music that is purchased and not subscription based.As far as how one adds music to the players, I simply use the provided USB cable and drag music files into the Windows Explorer window.

My HD works with it as well. All it needed was an update, and that was done by simply plugging up the zune to it. I suspect that's why it's jumped up incredibly in price... guess I should've bought 3 instead of one while it was cheap!And just a general note... fm transmitters all seem to put out the same quality, no matter if it cost 5$ or 85$ dollars -- at least in all the places I've used it in. I only bought this one because it was crazy cheap at the time. At the current price, my 10$ one from ebay may not look as nice, but does the exact same job.
