A product range from Microsoft, the Microsoft Zune is a portable media player, which allows you to play music, listen to FM radio, and also view pictures and videos.
Available in black, brown and white, the Microsoft Zune includes a 30GB digital media player, supports wireless technology and also includes a built-in FM tuner.
The media on the Zune is organized into categories that run across the top of the screen. For example, you can sort your music according to album, artist, playlist, song and genre. You can also sort pictures by day or by folder. The Zune software is like the digital media jukebox on your computer. You can build your collection, synchronize your favourite music and videos and put together custom playlists.
The Zune also includes a feature that allows you to name your Zune, giving it your own unique identity. This feature helps your friends to identify your Zune when they want to beam you a song or picture. You can further customize your Zune by displaying pictures on the bright 3-inch screen and apply themes to suit your style.
The Zune offers a new line of accessories that lets you get the most out of it. Take Zune on the go –hook it up to your car and charge and synchronize it anywhere, or stay at home and watch your videos. You can also amplify your Zune and play your favourite music through your home stereo with the help of a Zune A/V output cable. By connecting your headphones (which work as an antenna) to your Zune, you can listen to the radio when your Zune is docked. However, you cannot connect headphones to the Zune 4GB or Zune 8GB when they are docked.
There is a whole online community of music lovers at the Zune Social on www.zune.net. There is more to the Zune community than sharing songs between Zunes. It is quite easy for parents to set up Zune Marketplace accounts for their children so that they can download music, create their own collections and participate in the Zune Social.
