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.

Yeah when you load mp3's and other music thats in correct file folders zune when set to autoupdate information will get all the bio, and background stuff for the mp3's.

Actually, you will get all that bio and background stuff. I just got my Zune HD. I haven't signed up for the Zune Pass yet. Currently, I have Rhapsody but will check out the Zune Marketplace before making the switch. All my MP3 files are either from Rhapsody, my own CDs, or Amazon downloads. All transfered to my Zune with no problems. I am able to get all that add'l information on the songs, albums, and artists if it's available.

Not to Amazon Cloud Player. They used to let you upload mp3s to the cloud but they disabled the feature. (following the lead of mac/itunes to keep eveything proprietary) it's bs...but one workaround I figured is to use google drive to upload your music and there is a nice little app called gdrive (an additional app) that makes it easy to move mp3s to/from the cloud, it also has its own music player. The scam here is to force you RE-buy music you already own in order to listen to it on the go. don't let amazon or mac do this to you.

I think Amazon probably has the best collection of MP3 files which work on pretty much any player out there, so I would go with them. I don't think any of the subscription services work with the d2 (Rhapsody to go, and similar) so it will be a buy every song affair. I think Amazon has some of the best prices too.

I like WMP 11. The Zune software is basically the same, but with Zune Marketplace integrated. Nevertheless, I agree, the Microsoft Points system is quite silly. I mean, I know they have their reasons, but I think it would be easier for the average user to use plain dollars. I went ahead and subscribed to the Zune Pass option ($14.99 plus taxes I think) which lets you download all you want and synchronize to up to two Zune's. I've been downloading like crazy for the last two days and loving it!

it does not matter whre you order it from. everywhere is sold out of the zunes. I spoke with amazon twice today and they said that they ran out and will not get anymore in stock until December.

In terms of moving music from iTunes to Zune...you can either do as others suggest and burn a CD than rip it back down (to unprotect) OR get some software (such as TuneClone) which mimics this process without actually having to use a CD. You basically burn a CD from iTunes software but select a special "burner" from TuneClone which then just "burns" the music to a new folder, unprotected and ready for Zune. Works nice and fast.

No, I tunes use a different format, you would have to down load your files, use a MP3 converter and convert them over to MP3. Amazon music will work.

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.

The usb charging cable for the Zune acts as a data cable when connected to PC. I haven't transferred any files to or from my zune in years but I remember installing the zune software on my Windows PC, transferring my songs, pictures and videos off of my zune and onto my PC. I don't believe the files have DRM encryption so I believe you should then be able to transfer the files from your PC over to a flash drive. Let me know if that helps. Good luck

Good Morning All music placed on the Sony has to uploaded from your PC. If the MP3 from Amazon can be downloaded on your PC, I see no reason why you can not place the MP3 file on the Sony. I have not used Amazon music, but I see no problem. I am not familar with the Coby, so unable to help you there. Enjoy the Sony!

No, the Zune is only compatible with Zune Software, which they are phasing out and now call X-Box Music. If I were you I wouldn't buy a Zune. If you have a smart phone, I would suggest using a music app and your phone as the MP3 player.

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.

Actually, in response to my other question, nevermind. I found through Yahoo! Answers the "secret" to making YouTube videos Zune compatible. I've followed it with zero problems, and now I've got some kickass music videos on my Zune. :)For anybody interested in the tutorial, you have to visit:http://www.zunescene.com/forums/index.php?topic=4946.0I swear, this is the absolute most helpful little thing I've found related to the Zune to date. :)

I have never got music from Amazon but it doesn't matter the place were you buy it from. The music is the same. And to load it on this device is very easy.

Hey - I too am in Birgitta's position, trying to decide whether I should stick with iPods or go over to Zune. I currently own a iPod Mini and did not like how the battery went bad and now can only be played once before the iPod says that the battery is low and goes out. I am trying to decide whether to get a 80G Zune or an 80G iPod classic. My main question is - being an iPod owner, I have put so much time into my iTunes organizing it, putting in cover art, etc.If I was to buy a Zune, can I get everything out of the iTunes, including cover art?thanks

I don't know if it will access mp3s in amazon because I don't use amazon streaming services. However, it does have amazon as one of the programming choices. So I assume that it will.
