The Zune is a portable multimedia player. It comes in a range of colors (black, red, and blue) and storage sizes (ranging from 4 to 120GB). For audio, the Zune supports MP3, AAC, and WMA. For video, the Zune supports MPEG4, H.264, and WMV. Photos in JPEG format are also supported. Transferring content to the Zune is simple using the supplied USB cable. If you don't want to use the included Zune software, there are other (free) methods of transferring content to your Zune.
Instructions
Transferring music and video
1. Connect the Zune to your computer using the proprietary USB cable. Wait until your device is detected by ActiveSync.
2. Open Windows Media Player.
3. Click the Sync button on the far right. Windows Media Player will sync with your Zune.
4. Drag and drop the audio and video files you want on your device into the large drag and drop area.
5. Click "Begin Sync" to begin transferring your audio and video files. The Zune supports a wide range of audio and video formats. Should the files you're trying to transfer need converting, Windows Media Player will convert them automatically.
Transferring files
6. Connect the Zune to your computer using the proprietary USB cable. Wait until your device is detected by ActiveSync.
7. Click "My Computer." Select your Zune device. If you haven't changed the name of your Zune, it would be "Zune (F:)." This will bring you to the root directory of Zune.
8. Drag and drop any files you want on the device into this area. Audio and video transferred using this method should still play. However, video may not play if it is not the right format. Unlike using a media player (such as Windows Media Player), using this method does not automatically convert files.
