Simple, Innovative Controls
The Zune is a breeze to use with new, intuitive touch controls. Don't subject
yourself to cumbersome, slow scrolling. The innovative new Zune pad makes
browsing your music, video and picture collections fun and effortless. You'll
fly through your favorites and get to just what you're looking for in no time
flat. This powerhouse device stores up to 2,000 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 25
hours of video. (Please note that music estimates are based on 128 kbps WMA
files, with length of 4 minutes each; pictures transferred to Zune will be
optimized for Zune screen size; and video estimates are based on 500 kbps WMV
files with 128 kbps WMA audio tracks.)
That's a lot of entertainment, and you'll appreciate it even more with the
Zune's awesome screen. The super-slim, ultra-portable Zune sports a durable,
1.8-inch color screen that provides uncompromising portable video viewing. This
Zune also comes equipped with headphones and three pairs of foam headphones
covers. Your favorite music, videos, and pictures have never looked and sounded
better.
The Zune Community and Marketplace
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). This attractive, powerful device does much more than
connect you to just your collection. The 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
the Zune Marketplace. With over three million songs, DRM-free MP3s, music
vidoes, 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 cranies 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.
FM Radio, TV Shows, and More
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.
The Zune also features a built-in FM radio tuner so 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 currently playing on select
frequencies. 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 can also stream music, pictures and vidoes 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.
