| Apple iPod users have iTunes, and Microsoft Zune users have Zune software. Zune software is the hub through which users of the digital media player can find millions of songs, videos and pictures to download, use and share with friends. Zune software is a program that is downloaded to the computer, much like iTunes. Users must have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista in order to download and use the software. Once the Zune software is downloaded, you can use it to organize and play your current audio and video files, as well as ripping your CDs into a format that Zune can play. You can create playlists and edit song information. Using the Zune Marketplace you can find new artists and old favorites, buy and download songs and load up your Zune player. Buy songs individually or by the album, or get a Zune Pass to download unlimited songs each month. Zune software lets you organize your library of tunes and videos just the way you want it, then you can easily sync up the program with your Zune and load all your favorites onto your player. One of the really cool things about Zune is that it also works on the Xbox 360, so you can stream audio and video with your Xbox, access your music and video through the Xbox, and even listen to music from your Zune while you're playing games on the Xbox. Zune will really change the way you think about entertainment and using music in your life. Zune software makes it easy to find your favorites, organize them in a way that makes sense to you, play them back however you like and share them with your friends. Better yet, the Zune software doesn't limit you to music and videos you have to buy direct from Microsoft. It helps you to rip your own CDs so that your whole music collection can be Zune friendly. And since the machine will hold about 7,500 songs, you can probably get most of your collection on your Zune so you can listen to whatever you're in the mood for at the touch of a button. And if your videos aren't already in a format your Zune can read, the software automatically reformats them, making it easy to view videos from a multitude of sources. Zune software gives users the flexibility to use their music and videos the way they want, to control their playlists and rearrange their songs however they want. Zune software is easy to use but gives you a lot of power and control over what your Zune experience is going to be like. souce: amazines articles |
