Wireless media sharing: Share full length tracks of your favorite songs, albums, playlists, pictures and even audio podcasts. When sharing, you can listen to the full track of any song you receive up to three times and even pass along songs shared with you to other friends. If you like a song, easily add it to your wishlist on your Zune and buy it later when you sync to your PC.

Zune Online Community: Create a Zune card and Zune profile page to reflect your musical identity. Invite friends, share song recommendations, post comments, and browse member pages to discover new music and connect to other people with similar musical tastes.

Record TV and movies: Your Zune will automatically import TV shows or movies recorded using a PC running Windows Media® Center in Windows Vista®. Record your favorites, sync to Zune and hit the road.

FM radio tuner: With the built-in FM tuner you can listen to local FM radio stations or tune into programming while you're out. Advanced tuning capabilities allow you to see the name of the song currently playing on select frequencies.

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.

Games your way: Plug your Zune into your Xbox 360 to customize the soundtrack in supported games. You can also stream the music, picture and videos from the Zune software on your PC to your Xbox 360 console using a wireless connection.

Awesome!

awesome player! has great built in FM tuner! very small and lightweight. It is true that if you buy a subscription and you cancel it, that the music you downloaded goes away. BUT you don't have to have a subscription, you can simply buy the songs for 79 points each and have it forever. As for the radio, it has nothing to do with the subscription, it works all the time. overall great product!

A pretty good product

I purchased a black 8 GB Zune for my husband for his birthday. The Zune itself is great and I would recommend it to anyone. I ordered the leather case as well. They gave me a brown leather case to go with my black Zune. I went to the store and to exchange the brown case for a different color, but they said that was the only color that they had. Make sure you don't make the same mistake and I did and know what color you are getting before you submit your order.
