Seems the internal-only-yet-leaked spoof video is causing quite a stir on the internets. And with that comes some bad information about Zune. But fear not, the internet: here are the ways you can get your music loaded. First off, the Zune software will automatically import all your unprotected mp3, wma, and aac content when you load it up. When that's done, to get music loaded, you can:  

  • Rip a CD
  • Get the song from Zune Marketplace, which itself gives you two options:
    • Buy the song individually for 79 Microsoft Points.
    • Get a monthly subscription for unlimited downloads -  but when your subscription ends, then you lose the music. (this is actually my preferred method)  
    • And you can actually sync content directly from ZMP. That is, drag and drop content from the store, hit sync, and Zune will automatically purchase, download and sync the content to your device.
  • Someone can send you the song via wireless As seen in this spoof.  Songs you receive get three days or three plays; at the endof that, your Zune player will keep, Zune will retain the metadata on the track. You can also flag tracks that you receive and they show up in your inbox
  • Plug your Zune device into a friend's computer and use guest sync.  
  • And last but certainly not not awesome: MP3 Friday!

In other news, I'm not in the office today because of the windstorms. I'm working from home. And by working from home, I of course mean playing Gears of War.

So it was actually made by some Microsofties? See, something like this could have made Soapbox more popular if it was posted there and used the original source instead of some recording off of the Soapbox player...you can see some of the Soapbox UI in the video.

Wow Microsoft did make the video.

And is this Mp3 friday like are the songs you list free?

i need help with putting music on the zune

I was trying to put mp3 files I burned on a CD from that CD into my Zune, and my Zune says it won't sync because it can't find where the original file came from.  If you could help, that's be great, thanks!

i have a few questions myself on how to use the new zune software for my zune 80. But the way you put music on it is by dragging them to the zune software. Then sync it with the zune. Anothet way is to go to settings and add the folders (that contain music) that u want to add to your player. FOR EXAMPLE: the acdc folder in your "my music" section of your pc. HOPE I HELP SOME PEOPLE ON HOW TO USE THE ZUNE SOFTWARE.

I purchased a music video from itunes and would like to put it on my Zune but am having no luck, what now?

Honestly...I figured out how to use add music to my Zune in the first hour...anyone who doesn't understand how to put music on the Zune is really just stupid, or isn't trying to learn on their own. Most likely the latter...

Its easy to put picture but I still don't know how to put music..... can someone help me.

ok i got a zune for christmas i open it up it doesnt have a freakin manual how 2 your music on it and then they say you can use other things that you download from but you get on the zune

i just got a zune and i have no idea how to work it! ... i just purchased music and it's only on the computer not the zune i'm having problems putting the music on the zune!

yeah um i've had it for about 4 days and i'm confused as hell. why can't you sync your songs from windows media player...for free! it's telling me that it cannot find my device :0)

I am far from computer literate - still I had no problem getting all my music on my Zune - I love it - just follow the sync instructions. If I can do it, trust me, you can too.

So what your saying is if I purchase Zune tunes and then drop the subscription, I lose the the music? What's up with that ? Lime wire?

how to put music into a zune

?

can u get music off the internet with the zune?

PLEAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ HELP ME PUT MUSIC ON MY ZUNE

i dont have the cd to put mucies in my zune

how do i get music from limewire or i tunes into my zune???

I'm trying to add music to my zune but it's not working. i set the settings to choose my music- not automatically sync.. but it keeps adding things on it's own. & then when i try to add an album a window pops up and says that there isn't enough space... but the bar on the status page says there are 7GB free!!! i am getting very frustrated & confused. please help  me!! =)

i'm having almost the same problem - my zune is totally empty but it tells me i don't even have enough space to add one song.

also when i go to settings and try to select the file types, it won't let me?

I just got my Zune last week and im lost cuz I was told to download the software but thats complicated ive tried it like 10 times and there is always something wrong with the parental thing and their email Any who People come on dont make these devices so complicated.

I figured out most of it. I had no problem setting up my sister's Zune initially with music and movies. But I didn't want all the music to go on the Zune, so I changed the settings to manual (click Device > Settings and go from there).

Then I wondered how to add music and movies to the Zune manually. Dragging files from the desktop didn't work. So then I went back and updated the "collection" to get the new stuff to appear in the Zune software (that process is still a little fuzzy to me). Then I connected the Zune, located the new music and dragged it to the icon in the lower left corner.

Hope this helps. The documentation is frustrating because it acts like everyone just wants to sync.

I recieved a song from my friend and after i played it three times it didnt transfer to my zune HELPPPPPP IM DUMBBB!!!

okay like i did what this chick told me to do up there shari was her name.

but like it always says my zune isnt connected?

i bought my zune 4GB like a month ago and gave it away today because i couldnt figure out how to put music on it.

How do I download music from my zune to my computer

Please help a brotha out. How do I transfer music from my zune to my computer.....Help me before I throw this thing out the window

any help would be appreciated =)

OK I JUST FOUND THE SOLUTION! JUST GO TO SETTINGS ON YOUR ZUNE SOFTWARE, THEN CLICK ON "ADD FOLDER" AND THEN YOU CAN ADD SEVERAL FOLDERS TELLING THE LOCATION OF YOUR MUSIC AND ZUNE WILL AUTOMATICALLY FIND IT AND WILL BE IN YOUR ZUNE RIGHT AWAY!

LOCATION EXAMPLE: C:\Users\Ares\My Shared Folder

can u drag and drop music on my zune

all u got to do is drag the music to the zune deal when it pops up . when u plug in ur zune open it up the do it

either the zune is impossible for anyone to use (which i doubt) or theres alot of stupid peoeple out there. (probably)

hey im pressing buy on the music i want but then its telling me to keep signing in and i dont know wat to do. PLEAZZZZ HELP!

hey, This is really off topic but my zune was stolen and I have it registered...is there anyway at all that it can be tracked??? Email me (hailtruemetal@live.com)

GO TO SETTINGS

ADD FOLDER THAT THE MUSIC YOU WANT IS IN. SYNC IT.

MY BROTHERS SOFTWARE(ZUNE) WILL NOT LET YOU DRAG AND DROP IT.

It seems some people can drag and drop it right on the opening Zune window and others can not.
