FM Radio
The Zune also features a built-in FM radio tuner so that you can listen to local FM stations or tune-in programming while you're at the gym. Advanced tuning capabilities allow you to see the name of the song that's currently playing on select frequencies.

Wireless Sync
We're all exhausted by the cables and wires that tangle up our lives. Luckily, the Zune is one device that doesn't require another cord. You can easily connect to your home wireless network and sync your Zune with your PC collection of digital goodies. You can also sync using the dock, AC adapter, or speaker dock accessory (not included).

The Zune Community and Marketplace
Zune is all about sharing and community. At the Zune Online Community, you'll discover, share, and leave your musical mark. Create a Zune card and Zune profile page to reflect your musical identity. From the Zune Online Community, you can invite friends, share song recommendations, post comments, and browse member pages to unearth new tunes and connect to others who share your musical tastes.

When you're ready to purchase music and load your device with new tunes, turn to Zune Marketplace. With more than 3 million songs, DRM-free MP3s, music videos, audio/video podcasts, and more content added every day, you'll certainly get your fill. The store is always open and just a mouse click away. You can also choose between the download or subscription packages--buy individual songs and albums, or snag a Zune Pass subscription with all you can eat access to discover and explore the nooks and crannies of artists and genres.

Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Once your Zune is loaded with good stuff, you'll be ready to embrace wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing. Share full-length tracks of your favorite songs, albums, playlists, pictures, and even audio podcasts. You can listen to the full track of any song you receive up to three times, and you can even pass along songs that are shared with you to other friends. If you find a song you really love, you can easily add it to your wishlist and buy it later when you sync to your PC. When it comes to syncing and importing your music, the Zune makes it easy. Zune software can automatically import your existing music, pictures, and videos from iTunes and Windows Media Player in a variety of formats, including your existing playlists and song ratings.

Recorded TV or Movies to Go
The Zune will also automatically import TV shows or movies recorded using a PC running Windows Media Center in Windows Vista. Record all your favorites, sync to your Zune, and hit the road with your favorite TV shows right in your pocket.

Your Games. Your Music. Your Way.
Another awesome feature is the Zune's compatibility with the Xbox 360. Plug your Zune into your Xbox 360 to customize the soundtrack in supported games. You also can stream music, pictures, and videos from the Zune software on your PC to your Xbox 360 console using a wireless connection. Whether you're staying in or going out, travelling or working, the Zune can be right there with you, providing loads of entertainment direct from your pocket.

Great product and I don't have to deal with the "other guys" who make mp3 players.

Not best as a "workout" music player

Review by M. Orona, 2010-08-11

I have owned my 4g Zune for just over a year now, and can't add much more than all of the other reviews, but want to give at least one warning: mine broke after a year of using it while jogging.

The back of the player is aluminum, which sounds like a good idea at first for durability. But as an avid runner in the Texas heat, the aluminum started dissolving from exposure to the perspiration of my body. I was using the Griffin Streamline Armband for Zune 4/8GB (Black) armband that I thought was protecting my Zune. As it turns out, it was encasing it in a tomb of moisture that eventually ate away at the metal backing due to the corrosive moisture that is a result of perspiration. So even though this may sound like an armband problem, it is important to note that my iPod Shuffle has no such issues, and after 5 years of use, is still solid.

So if you use the Zune for workingout, I HIGHLY recommend that you make sure you do NOT use a fully enclosed case that doesn't allow the body of the player to breathe. The thin backing just can't handle the elements.

Review by H. Lennstrom, 2010-08-07

The player is great - but I hate the proprietary software and cord hassle. I didn't want to have to give a credit card # to the Zune folks.


worst investment of my life.

Review by Jacob Blankenship, 2010-08-06

To start off, I have never experienced any device with such pathetic battery life. Within 4 to 5 hours at most, the battery runs clear dead even with the volume turned down to level 8, out of 20. I could not reconnect the Zune to the computer for synchronizing without resetting it every time. Seems like something small, but honestly, why does a player need to reboot before any connection with a computer? And no, this was not due to computer malfunction. Plus, there wasn't even an equalizer. How can an internationally spread company such as Microsoft with millions upon millions of dollars in Research & Development design a music player without the simple, but very necessary feature of changing the sound quality to someone's own liking? Windows Media Player has it, they should be able to put it on something smaller than a desktop; Absolutely pathetic. There is also horrible reception for the radio. Stations that will come in clear on any radio in a car or house were full of star noise at best when on the Zune tuner. Beyond this, whenever an update for the programming of the Zune came in, it would take well over an hour to download the software onto the Zune itself, when the software was maybe 10-20 MB. When it "installed" the software, I had to wait an hour and a half before it changed to saying it was installing a second time, this time with no status bar. I had to shut the computer down to gain control back. As for anything positive, the display had a very high quality. That was the only thing which I can think of. I am WARNING you: do NOT buy a Zune.
