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

Hi there,i'd like to buy a new 8GB mp3, but, i'm confused between the new ipod nano and zune. people say that the 3rd gen nano has a great battery life now, but, i'm discouraged from transferring my music files to itunes and changing the format (i've been using windows media. so, they're mostly in .wma)Is it true that Zune's software is crippled?being an experienced useer, would you recommend zune or nano? =)thanks a bunch!!

I'm not familiar with Zune but it says in the manual under "My Music Library" - Access (or Browse) and playback your XM recordings, downloded MP3 and WMA music files and downloaded audio books. Not sure if this helps.

David,I've tried Handbrake and did get it to work but the Zune software had to reformat the Handbrake file. Do you have Handbrake working where you don't have to reformat the file with Zune? If yes, how did you set up Handbrake?Thanks

You're right, it took me a month just to find a protective case for my gigabeat online. I don't really have an answer to your question, but have one of my own. Since the gigabeat runs off of windows and so does the zune, then can I use my gigabeat to download music/video from zune.net? Very frustrating to have recieved this thing as a gift and not really be able to use it for anything.

I don't know how "Media Monkey" works, but nothing can be "downloaded" into this device without using a personal computer (transfer to device memory via USB cable) or external microSD card. You'll nee to make sure that the FORMAT of any downloaded music files are compatible with the device.

Good point. I don't really see any huge differences between ipod and Zune except for the radio thing. I used to love to listening to the radio but when I bought my iPod I only listened to the morning shows because all the songs I wanted to listen to were on my iPod and I didn't have to get through commercials to listen to them. So I guess if you just absolutely need you a radio, get a zune. However, I'm not a fan of the Marketplace. The subscription service sucks. If you get rid of it all you songs go too. But if that's just what you're looking for then more power to you.

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.

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. :)

> Buy an ipod, the Zune will go the way of HD-DVD and Betamax.Just FYI:iPod doesn't support OverDrive wma, so it's not even an option here.Besides, Zune supports .mp3, .wma, AAC (.m4a/.m4b), .wmv, and .mp4/.m4v (as well as audio CD to rip). So Zune users wouldn't have problems like they had with HD-DVD/Betamax even if MS discontinued Zune.

A1) Yes. I don't know if there is a limit. A2) Currently the Zune software (3.1) doesn't support audiobooks directly. So you have to use Audible Manager to manage their files and OverDrive Media Console to do theirs. Yes, you can use the bookmark function on your Zune device. For others like audio CD audiobooks or MP3-on-CDs, in order to use the bookmark function, you need to add them as podcasts by changing the genre tag to "podcast". Or, if the files are .mp3 or DRM-free .wma, you can use OverDrive Media Console to transfer them to the "audiobooks" section on your device. (FYI: http://forums.zune.net/436444/ShowPost.aspx) A3) Zune supports .mp3, .wma and .m4a/.m4b. However, it does not support any DRM-protected files except those from the Zune Marketplace (and Audible/OverDrive). For iTunes songs, do as Andrew said. For .wma files, right-click a file in Windows Explorer and select "Properties"&gt;"Summary" tab ("Advanced" view), and you can find if it is protected or not. I believe all .mp3 files are DRM-free. I recommend you download the Zune software at Zune.net and try it before buying the device. A4) I'm not sure what you really want to know. On the device, (under its "music" section,) there are "songs", "genres", "albums", "artists", and "playlists" to view your songs.

i have Xp media center edition on my PC i need Media CEnter 2005 for ZUne right? and how do i get that man? as well i need to know movies on zune?

I have done that so I could transfer music from one device to another. You can't play it from there like an MP3 device. But you could have it pluged into a computer or other device and play off it.

Not sure. You should contact Microsoft and your Zune Kicker support for clarification, if they are still supporting it. (Again, MS has NO support for the Zune device anymore, so you can't get help from that end.)

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!

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.
