Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Black)
Zune starts with a digital media player and adds a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures or your homegrown tracks directly from Zune to Zune. You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you like and easily buy them the next time you sync up. You can discover new music in the Zune Marketplace, and show off your favorite pictures and videos on the big, bright screen. Zune has all that and a built in FM tuner, too. Let your inner DJ run wild.
Entertainment and sharing to go. That's the Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player. The Zune plays music and videos, displays images, and unlike the iPod, it even receives FM radio so you can stay on top of local news or sports. Designed around the principles of sharing, discovery, and community, Zune connects people and empowers them with the tools needed to share entertainment experiences. The Zune experience is centered around connection--connection to your library, friends, community, and other Zunes. It's powered by software that allows users to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace.

The Zune is a 30 GB digital media player, but there's a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures, or your own home-grown tunes directly from Zune to Zune (within 30 feet). You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you love, and easily buy them the next time you sync up--its like test-driving songs before you purchase an album. The Zune's navigation is simple and intuitive with a scroll wheel and basic buttons, and the big, bright screen makes it easy to browse music and show off your favorite pictures and videos. This attractive, smart device stores up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video. Get creative. Make playlists on the go and watch slide shows while you're listening. And if you're watching video on the Zune, you'll be pleased with the landscape mode that allows you to get the most out of the vivid display. Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Don't forget the primary principle of the Zune: sharing. With this device in hand you're holding an opportunity to share music and photos wirelessly from one Zune to another. Send your favorite tracks or images to your friends, or just about anyone with a Zune that's within your reach. Whether you're walking down the street, in a room with a bunch of friends, at a concert, at the airport, or on the bus, you can whip out your Zune and see all the other Zune devices that surround you. In the blink of an eye you're connected to your best friend and you can send over your band's newest song. Another friend might get the hilarious podcast your little brother made at school, plus that hot new song you just downloaded from the Zune Marketplace. And, of course, there's all the good stuff that your friends want to send back your way. The connections are made and the Zune community grows. Best of all, the song you sent (or received) isn't a short 30-second preview--it's the whole song. Your friend can sample the song up to three times in three days, flag it on their device and then buy it from the Zune Marketplace. You can send pictures, too. If you loved the photo of your dog at the park and you just have to share it with your buddies, shoot it off to whoever is around. And any pictures that are sent or received can be kept and viewed indefinitely. Sometimes you don't want to be noticed, and the Zune allows you to fly under the radar. All you need to do is turn the wireless function off, or adjust the privacy settings to control whether people can see you are online. And if you want to keep your Zune private while studying in the library or reading the newspaper on the bus, you can also block Zune devices in wireless range from sending you a song. Zune Marketplace
Zune makes it easy to find music you love--whether it's songs in your existing library or new music from the Zune Marketplace. You can easily import your existing music, pictures, and videos in many popular formats from your PC and browse millions of songs at the Zune Marketplace where you can purchase individual tracks or buy a Zune Pass subscription to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee. Plus, you can apply Microsoft Points towards the purchase of music so you can buy online without a credit card for added security. At the Zune Marketplace you can read over 100,000 artist biographies and features from leading magazines including XLR8R, NME, and FADED, and you'll have easy access to Billboard Charts, including Billboard 200, Hot 100 Songs, and more. You'll even be able to browse what people in the Zune community are listening to by checking out the Zune Charts. Pre-Loaded Content
Zune is a vehicle to explore new sounds and share entertainment experiences. With that in mind, the Zune comes pre-loaded with a variety of songs and videos from hot, new artists, as well as some fun films and images.

Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Black) Reviews
For the first several days, my wife spent several hours with customer support. It has recorded music pieces over each other, but does not replace the previously recorded material. What a waste. Perhaps some of the problem is with the service the Zune uses to download the music, but this was one expensive TOY. I purchased this when they first went on sale.
The support people were helpful, but most of the fixes have not worked long term. If you search for a piece, generally you will not find the piece unless you remember adjacent music from the original recording that you downloaded. So it mixes the two pieces together. We have not gone over to the Apple side simply because I remember too many times that the Apple equipment is not backward compatible and seemed designed solely to make you buy the next "upgrade" that in reality is a new system that will not use any of the previous products. My wife and I are somewhat tech savvy, but this equipment did not and has not performed as expected.It has not worked correctly most of the past couple of years.
As a result, my wife rarely is able to use it in her lessons. It was a gift for my wife to use for her music lesson business.
I thought I'd try Zune because I didn't feeling wasting money on Ipod.Maybe this line of technology isn't where it needs to be yet.The Zune, and it's associated software has potential, but doesn't live up to expectations. Another crappy product care of the corporate Nazis at Microsoft. The Zune software/marketplace will drive you crazy with its consistency. Your ability to download and burn music is entirely dependent on the whims of the software at that particular moment.I'm terribly disappointed.
Items was an older version and not what we really wanted, didn't find out until opened item.
I bought 1 for a good friend and both of us like this product. I definitely recommend the Zune 30. This is my second Zune 30 gb. The Zune can hold a lot of music/pictures and videos.
my zune arrived just as shown on the page. purchase was so easy and i received it 4 days before the scheduled date.
