You have probably heard of the mp3 player from Microsoft known as the Zune; however did you know there is now software Zune for your home pc?

This is a program created by Microsoft to make organizing your library of music for your physical Zune easier.

Software Zune is the perfect way to organize:

• Music
• Images
• Videos
• Podcasts
• Audio tracks from Amazon or ITunes

No matter where this exlusive media resides on your computer, you can bring it all together with one easy program.

When first launching software Zune it will seek out all of the media stored on your computer, you can then customize it to monitor specific folders for more additions later.

This software will not miss a single track even if you have been using another program to manage your data, and your tags will stay intact.

Marketplace

With software Zune, you will have the marketplace built in. Access the millions of songs available now and monitor the site for new additions every day.

They currently offer more music than you could ever need, podcasts and a growing collection of television shows. All of which you can save to your software Zune player to transfer to your physical player later.

Features

• Audio formats-  mp3, WMA, AAC, mp4,.m4b, mov
• Video – MPEG4, WMV, ASF, H.264
• Stream files to other pc or Xbox with network sharing

The Zune mp3 player was created to work with the software Zune seamlessly. Get more enjoyment out of your player today when you use this handy software.

Cons

Experience has varied with the software Zune created for their mp3 players. Overall consensus is there was a concentrated effort to be as different from IPod as they could be. While this is understandable, you have to wonder why they insisted on reinventing the wheel?

A major complaint with the software Zune released is right out of the package it is going to recommend a firmware update.

Most people expect when they purchase new equipment not to have to update it for a while. This could have been overlooked as a symptom of fast moving technology if it did not take so long to accomplish.

One word you will see associated with software for Zune is waiting; you will spend a lot of time initially waiting. Wait for updates, searches and downloads. Definitely a drag for an otherwise awesome line of products.

Overall

You have to use software for the Zune; there is no getting around that fact. Another fact is it is not the best package on the planet, with long wait times; annoying pop-up contextual menus make it impossible to get in a hurry. Great mp3 player software Zune created, not so great.
