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
I'm typing this review with my trusty old Ipod on the shelf. The Zune just plain eats the Ipod up. Better sound (320 kbps)
Much bigger display, easier controls, faster software, doesn't erase my music, doesn't crash, ect.
Some reviews like the click wheel better. I don't. I can work the Zune in my pocket. Volume, next song, ect. I can also plug it into my TV with a 5 dollar cord from Walmart and watch music videos in my Tv. Right through the top headphone jack. It's a 1/4 inch to rca video adaptor. It shuts of the display on the Zune so the battery lasts longer.
watch out Ipod, Zune is here.
Easy to use. Sturdy. Dependable. Complete with all the features you'd want on an MP3 player. Especcially ideal for listening to podcasts, with a feature that essentially "saves your place" so you can resume exactly where you left off. The BEST MP3 player line on the market.
I bought this for my 17 year old son and he loves it. He uses his zune everyday... This does alot for stuff for the money...
hello,
let me start by saying this is not a diss on ZUNE or the person who sold it to me. Now that all the formal stuff is out the way let's get to the point.
1) i cant stand the error codes i keep getting when i try to load an album or song from my collection. bogus big time and then that crappy (!) that you click on and all it say's is get more credit or, file is a different format and needs to change.
all im asking for is a simple devise non Ipod and some ease when using it, i shouldn't have to struggle with error codes or reformatting my music to include connection errors, outside not being able to load the albums i want the most, i would say it's a good piece of gear!
My 30G Zune was purchased used. The vendor shipped the device expeditiously and it arrived as described in the advertisement.
This Zune is a serious work horse, it fires up when I need it and can store tones of music and video. Its one of the older generation Zune's but still meets all of my needs. I actually have my family videos loaded on it and can share at the touch of a button when on the go with friends and family. The Zune software is also an awesome tool that makes my life easier. The only complaint I would have is with not being able to create permanent playlist on the go. The only way to do the permanent playlist is through the Zune software on your PC.
I love this Zune and have no plans of getting another player anytime soon!
