Zune 101: Getting More Music Onto Your Zune
www.zunethoughts.com One of the new features in the 2.5 spring update for the Zune is the ability to specify the quality level of the music on your Zune. That means that if you have 256 kbps MP3s and you want to fit more music onto your Zune, you can change the Zune software to convert your music to 128 kbps WMA files (or another quality level). This video shows you how to do that. Got a request for something you’d like to see me cover in a future video? Post a comment and make a request! Thanks for watching, and please rate the video and subscribe to the Thoughts Media channel – and stop by Zune Thoughts (www.zunethoughts.com) for all your Zune news and reviews. This video was created using the awesome Camtasia 5 from TechSmith. – Jason Dunn

if i have a friend who has an ipod and i have a zune will we still be able to put music on each others MP3players or will we each need to get the other program (itunes or the zune software)?
cuz i share music with friends a fair bit and i just dont wanna be the odd one out with a zune : P
@ThoughtsMedia Oh Ok thanks For the reply =D
@littlecar1231 You don’t. You pay for them.

Plz Answer! How do you get miscoft points for free ? Plz answer
If your iTunes library is full of non-DRM’d AAC files (or MP3s), then yes, you can play them all on your Zune. If they’re protected by Apple’s DRM, then no, they won’t play on your Zune. You can upgrade your tracks to be DRM-free if you pay a per-track fee…

I had an ipod but it busted and im now left with my library. Im getting a zune hd in a couple of days, is there anyway for my itunes to get on my zune. Is it possible ?
thanks. I was too stupid to figure this out on my own. honest.
Just leave it at the default and it won’t convert anything.
- Jason
I notice that this setting is set to 96kbps source, and 192kbps device quality by default. If I don’t want to do anything, should I leave it at that setting, or choose the “only convert formats not supported option”?
how do i set it up on the internet i cant figure it out and i suck with computers?
u can use any free song downloading software eg Limewire. just save the songs downloaded and then make a music profile then copy past then add the song to your zune. PS though the zune is good but the ipod is WAAYY better in my opinion
Yes, it’s similar to iTunes – only much easier and more flexible in my opinion.
- Jason
I’m thinking about getting a Zune with the Christmas money I’m getting.
But I’m unsure about getting music and video onto the Zune.
Is the procedure similar to iTunes?When you download the song or video,will it immediately go to the Zune software and then you just drag it to the Zune?
Or is it more complicated?
PLEASE answer!!
You need to use the Zune software to load the Zune. You can get your music any way you want.

why cant u just use limewire for zune? u have to use the zune software?

ASAP
how come when i download a song and open it with zune and i Click” sync with zune “it says “added 1 song” at the bottom but when i check my zune the song isnt there??????????????????????
The Zune isn’t the dumb part of this scenario – it’s not compatible with Windows Media Player. You need to install the Zune software just like that little sticker on it told you to do…

Do a Google search for Zune YouTube videos and you’ll find your answer.
- Jason
You’d have to delete the Zune partnership (“Forget this Zune”) in the settings on the desktop software.
- Jason
Audio settings? What audio settings? You add music to it by installing the Zune desktop software, connecting the Zune, then dragging and dropping the music to it.

Say your zune is connected as a guest. I know you can change it.. so I’m not sure what it’s called..but it’s the opposite of guest.. then there’s sync groups. Is there a way for you to change it back to a guest? Cause I’m not sure if I like sync groups so much.
