3 Instant Ways to Download Music to Zune

The whole topic of how to download music to Zune would appeal to the masses who own the player. While a lot of information can be found online about getting downloads for iPods, not much can be found about Zune. This article would show you some quick ways to load your player with the latest songs.

MP3 players are not new. You probably already own one before you bought your Zune. To download music to Zune, you need to run the Windows Media Player to read the music files on your computer before you can do any transfer. If you are using Windows, chances are you have the software installed. Now, it is time to source for the top 3 places for songs.

Ripping music from CDs is an age old affair now in the homes of many teens and even adults. This allows you to download music to Zune quite easily. I wouldn't say it is convenient but if you can dig out a CD from your collection or head over to a friend's place to borrow the latest album, you can find some favourite songs to rip. Simply pop the CD into the drive, run the Windows media player and click on the CD icon and the titled tracks are flashed before you.

From there, just pick the tracks you like and mouse click the "Rip" button. The songs that are ripped would appear shortly in the library. Once it is done, connect your player to the computer via a USB cable. If the settings are properly configured between your player and the PC, synchronization should take place automatically and it would download the music to your Zune.

Even if the synchronization is incomplete, what you can do is manually copy and paste the music files onto your player. It is as easy as ABC. But when you rip the songs, remember to save them in the following formats WMA, MP3, WMV and MOV as these are compatible with your Zune. Other formats like RealMedia and DivX are not, so don't bother.

Ripping is but one method. You have another way to download music to Zune players. The most straightforward one is to order your songs through sites like Zune marketplace, iTunes, HMV, Walmart and other online music stores. It wouldn't cost you more than $1 in most cases though the limited edition ones can be quite pricey.

The last alternative to download music to Zune is to go for a paid membership service. This is quite an interesting offer since you can get a lifetime or annual membership for a flat fee of less than $50. This membership allows you to download not tens or twenties of songs but millions of them. As long as they have it in the system, you can download them. With that kind of money, you can only get 2 or 3 albums off the shelf in a local CD shop.

These are what you need to learn to be able to download music to Zune. I know that you must be itching for some music now. Run along to my song blog and feed your player with the latest hits now.
