BUILD YOUR COLLECTION

Buy music, videos, and now TV episodes at Zune Marketplace; rip and burn CDs, create playlists, and sync them to your device. Zune software automatically imports the media that's already on your computer^[1], including music ripped in iTunes and Microsoft Windows Media Player, video files, pictures—even DVR recordings made with Windows Media Center^[2]. It'll even transfer your existing song ratings. Zune software keeps your entire collection at your fingertips.

WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 2.5

We've updated the Zune software with features our community's been asking for, including gapless playback, smart playlists, new sorting options, multiple-device syncing, and advanced song info editing, including drag-and-drop functionality. If you have Windows Live Messenger running, it'll let your contacts know what you're playing. And when you go to Zune Marketplace, you'll now find over 800 episodes of popular TV shows to download, plus more than two million DRM-free MP3s.

Great news for members of the Zune Social: the discovery experience is now fully integrated into this update. Send messages and listening recommendations directly from the software. Zune Pass subscribers: sync your friends' Zune Cards with your device and their music comes along—their recent plays, favorite tracks, and top songs from their most-played artists^[3]. Even if you don't have a Zune Pass, you'll still see their play data on your device, so you can choose what you want and buy the songs next time you sync. 

CONNECT TO YOUR XBOX 360

Plug your Zune into your Xbox 360 console and listen to your music while playing your favorite games, or stream media to your Xbox 360 over a home wireless network.
