Can Zune play from Windows Media Player: Can I get the WMP music onto the Zune?

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

there is no windows media player for linux. there's probably something compatible though

The player will play WAV files, however, it most likely will not play the newer WMA lossless files. Note that WAV files are already "lossless" unlike the MP3 format.

In my opinion the best thing about the Zune is the marketplace. You can subscribe and download a bunch of music for just the flat rate. Other than that they are pretty much the same. You can download stuff from limewire and add it to the Zune no problem just by linking where that program saves the files. The other problem with the zune is there are not alot of accessories for the product. That might change but if you go to the store the amount of products for Ipods especially if you want a radio that will be instantly compatible you have to go Ipod. I hate saying it because I'm now Zune all the way, I've even converted my wife to zune, but damn, every time I walk into the store I wish mine would be compatible with some of the boom boxes that are sold there. If you need any other info just let me know, I own a 80g Zune, an 8g and an old 30g. I know zunes.

As long as the files are in a format that the Zune can play, all you have to do is point to the file location as your media folders. The only issue I see if it not picking up the metadata so you might want to look out for that as it builds your library.

I have Windows XP with Windows Media Player. Please don't tell me this won't work. I'd really love to get one.

This device will play music from anything that is connected to it via the input jack. It does not care about the size or type of player that is connected. As far as playing WMA files, I'm not certain but I think it will play them. You can get a free WMA to MP3 converter at www.Cnet/downloads if you need one. There is an instructional video for this player here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mZ7Krt2Mp4 .

Yes. From the Library Menu of Windows Medial Player, choose Media Sharing and discover the Pioneer device and setup the sharing options.

Holly, as far as I can tell there are no personal media players except the upcoming Zune from Microsoft that claim Vista support of compatibility out of the box. Hardware design cycles from other companies were probably too late to pick up on any Vista idiosyncratic device support. It will take another generation of devices (in other words a year more or so to shake the major Vista bugs out of peripherals...

Yes. You can use windows media player or install another program, but WMP is already installed on it.

Hi Phil It works with wmp, but not with iTunes in the same way. You could make and name a folder on the desktop, then drag a playlist into the folder then copy it to the Cowon, but dropping it into the cowon's music folder. Incidently the Cowon recognises 64gig SD cards and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't recognise the new 128gb micro sd cards

Yes, it does. I had no problems syncing all my music from WMP to the MP3 player.

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.

Yes you just have to open your music file on computer and drag your selections to the zune folder or you can always burn a cd option

I do not have the Zune HD player but do have a 120GB player and use an AV HD dock connected to the Audi0/Video IN RCA ports on my sound system (home theater receiver). The dock is the newer HD dock but works fine on my older 120GM player. I simply select VIDEO 1 on my receiver and make sure to set the ZUNE Settings Display to be for TV.
