Import your music: Zune software can automatically import your existing music, pictures and videos from iTunes and Windows Media Player in a variety of formats, including your existing playlists and song ratings. Some content is protected by the service you purchased it from and the Zune can’t import those files.

By far one of the best video mp3 players
Review posted on Nov 13, 2007

I have been looking for a good mp3 player (other than an ipod) for a while but when I got the new zune 8gb I was amazed in so many areas. Even though the screen is a little small it still looks the best, sound is incredible, and the menus are really well organized. The day I got it I was already putting music videos and Family Guy episodes (with the help of Windows Movie Maker to convert them to the right format) and they look amazing. I highly recommend this player.

worst sound quality
Reviewer: bunnyrut from New Jersey on Jun 20, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful

i exchanged my 4GB for the 8GB in hopes that i wouldn't have the same problems with the sound (headset jack was loose and crackling sounds were heard when it moved), but i experienced the same problems with this one. i just ended up returning it and getting a different product.

volume only goes to 20, which is actually low on this device, there is no option to change bass or treble, and no equilizer.

this is good if you don't really know anything about mp3's or particularly care about the sound problems.

Awesome player plays music clear and loud. Small and slim and huge capacity. Great MP3. Very easy to use with transferring and removing songs, just drag and drop.
