Can you download music from amazon or anywhere else with Zune? I'm thinking about buying my first mp3 player,and I like the look of the Zune(especially the pink one...I love pink).But I wondered if you can download songs from anywhere or do you have to...

Amazon's MP3 Downloads will play on any audio player. Zune offers music through its software (in a manner similar to Apple) which is in a mix of MP3 file types that will play on any player, and music formatted to play only on the Zune. This is, again, identical to how Apple operates iTunes - the difference is in what formats each company sells its specially formatted music. For what it's worth, I find the Zune plays music with a richer and fuller sound than iPod. You should also know that both the Zune and the iPod require that you use their software to sync music from your hard drive to the player. I hope this is helpful (and I hope you choose/chose the Zune)!

I have never owned an Ipod. I am looking for the best version that is specifically for music. I do not want a lot of bells and whistles, I want good sound and to know up front that it is fairly simple to load or download music. Does anyone have a preference for what version I should go for? No:Photos/games/other stuff.. just music.thanks.

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. :)

> 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.

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.)FYIhttp://forums.zune.net/242458/ShowPost.aspx

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!

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.

I too had no luck with Rhapsody to go on the Sansa Fuze, after doing everything i could think of, firmware updates, installed windows updates, reinstalled Rhapsody, formatted my device. After too much frustration, i switched to Napster to go and it works perfectly. I like Rhapsody Unlimited but i need to be able to load my mp3 player up and i could never get Rhapsody to work at all with my mp3 Fuze. Rhapsody is best for those who want to listen online only, but Napster is best if you have an mp3 player you want to load up.

Hey if you guys just wait until December. Microsoft is having a special deal where all 80GB Zunes can have their back customized for free up to 25 preset artist designs and up to 5 lines of text (no catch!). They are already doing it for their 4GB and 8GB models just wait and get it customized but only if you order from zune.net well the real site is zuneoriginals.net

Thank you, I called and spoke with someone at Rhapsody as well. I asked about the available service for the use of ipods. It was said to me that the older version ipods are not serviceable by Rhapsody. It was said to me only the newer ipods were accepted for service. I know this doesn't have to do with the Phillips but I figured any available information is helpful when in search of a gadget such as the mp3 player for the particular use on Rhapsody. Thank you for the info on the Phillips mp3. I am sure it will be very helpful to many people.

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

if they want to compete with Apple... seriously??? the Zune HD's 32 gb version is only 289.99... while the iPod Touch's 32 gb version is.... yup, a whopping $399.99, i dunno about you, but i think i would prefer the device that is $120 cheaper and with the same capacity ;) so tell me again how this won't compete with the iPod touch?

Any musuc I download whether through itunes or not can be added to my itunes library and in turn added to the ipod shuffle. In fact most songs I have were purchased through Napster or some place similar.

Thanks!! You answered the specific question I had in mind: downloads from limewire. Its one of the main reasons I was hestitating on the ipod. I wasn't sure how restrictive it was (like, can you only upload things onto it from itunes, etc.) But now I know. THANKS!!!

The Zune has a 60mb version, I saw it at Walmart, I don't know if it's 60mb exactly but it's a small portable Zune.Besides the Zune has just came out, you can't expect it to have all the models that the Ipod already has.

My best luck with Amazon comes when I used the Amazon downloader plug-in with the default web browser. If your default web browse is Internet Explorer, install the Amazon downloader in Internet Explorer, not another browser like Firefox for example if you have that browser installed on your PC as well. Then use the downloader to download albums and songs. Your browser may be set to block downloaded files such as the .AMZ file that the Amazon downloader wants to download that then starts the download of the real music you want, so make sure your web browser allows downloads from Amazon. The Mozaic has a few preloaded songs but I haven't listened to them yet. Good luck
