The store is always open and just a mouse click away.

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.

 good product December 2, 2008

I like this much better than the iPod. I guess it comes down to personal preference and I always seem to choose Microsoft products over Apple. iPod seems to be more mainstream, but this product gives you everything you need.

The Zune MP3 player is hands down better than the Ipod. My family has 5 ipods (4-30GB) between them, but the Zune is so much more user friendly. We've solved the itune store dilemma by purchasing songs from Amazon.
 Doesn't sync with computer anymore December 1, 2008
B. Prendes (Yokota AB, Japan)
I've this device for almost a year now. It still plays, and my computer will charge it with the USB cord, but my computer no longer recognizes it. This started about 6 months into it's life. I can no longer add music to it, or take it off. After all the updates from Microsoft, it still doesn't work right. My husband also has the older original 80GB Zune, which does the same thing. It seems like Microsoft has a lot to work out with these MP3 players. It's not worth the money spent. I wish I had gotten something else.
Zune ROCKS! November 28, 2008
M. Halcomb (Arizona, USA)
I really like the Zune software for the computer that goes along with this player! It is FAR superior to iTunes and runs 100x smoother and faster on Windows (huh, imagine that). The Zune player itself is excellent and I love that you can listen to the radio, not just my own music! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
 Zune vs iPod November 24, 2008

I purchased the 30 MB Zune from Amazon on a Black Friday sale for a HUGE discount. I like the device myself, but I hate the software. Why Microsoft didn't just expand Windows Media Player to include their marketplace is beyond me. The Zune software is a memory hog, and isn't very user friendly. Unless they have changed the software, you can't put iTunes music on the Zune until you remove the DRM software, and every time the new iTunes comes out if stops whatever software than takes the DRM off and makes you feel like a criminal just because you want to listen to your music on a non-iPod device.
On the plus side:there is a FM Radio - iTunes doesn't have that! It's a pretty good one too. With a little conversion, you can play youtube videos on the Zune (change the flv to wmv). I think Zune can use Rhapsody too, but I haven't tried it because I still have a $23 credit on my iTunes account.
If you want an MP3 player to put your existing CDs on, and non-DRM laden MP3s, as well as videos, this is a good choice - beats the iPlod on a bunch of levels. If Microsoft would only fix the software interface, they would give iTunes and iPod a real challenge.
