Get started for free with the Zune software and set up a Zune Music + Video account to enjoy all the amazing Zune software features. Zune software is smart and we're always working to make it better. To do this, we need to learn a little about how it works for you. When you install the Zune software, information about your installation experience will be sent to Microsoft, including whether your installation was successful.

Also, when you use Zune Marketplace, we use web analytics tools that automatically collect certain information about pages you view, links you click, and other actions you take. This will enable us to make customized recommendations, such as new music you may like and to build playlists for your tastes. We understand that your privacy is of great importance, so if you would like more information, please read our privacy statement. If you do not want us to collect this information, please do not use Zune Marketplace.
