Can Zune play from Windows Media Player: Can I get the WMP music onto the Zune?

I recommend you download the Zune software at Zune.net and try it before purchasing the device. (You have to use the Zune software to "sync" your music to Zune device.) Zune supports mp3 and wma (as well as AAC), so you can transfer them easily if they are not DRM-"protected". (The Zune software only adds DRM-"protected" files from the Zune Marketplace to your Zune collection.) FYI http://forums.zune.net/242458/ShowPost.aspx

No. You sync files from your windows type media players only. This item of mine only lasted 13 days and died. I have now gone with a Phillips MP3 player which is a remarkable player.

Yes. From the Library Menu of Windows Medial Player, choose Media Sharing and discover the Pioneer device and setup the sharing options.

I'm not familiar with Zune but it says in the manual under "My Music Library" - Access (or Browse) and playback your XM recordings, downloded MP3 and WMA music files and downloaded audio books. Not sure if this helps.

Actually, in response to my other question, nevermind. I found through Yahoo! Answers the "secret" to making YouTube videos Zune compatible. I've followed it with zero problems, and now I've got some kickass music videos on my Zune. :)For anybody interested in the tutorial, you have to visit:http://www.zunescene.com/forums/index.php?topic=4946.0I swear, this is the absolute most helpful little thing I've found related to the Zune to date. :)

Amazon and any other mp3 files/tracks will automatically sync with your Zune using the Zune download available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27163

It would seem to me, that without a Zune player in the dock, there is no audio signal to output through the Zune optical output (or the HDMI output either).

I do not have the Zune HD player but do have a 120GB player and use an AV HD dock connected to the Audi0/Video IN RCA ports on my sound system (home theater receiver). The dock is the newer HD dock but works fine on my older 120GM player. I simply select VIDEO 1 on my receiver and make sure to set the ZUNE Settings Display to be for TV.

Yes. The Sony Walkman is much like a portable zip drive in the respect that you can copy/paste the music, video and pictures from your Walkman device onto any computer. Any wma's, mp3's, wav or lostless music files that you have in your computer or your Zune device can be easily synced to this device using Windows Media Player or itunes. The fact that the Sony Walkman plays most of the music formats out there was a major attraction for me. I have owned two Zunes in the past and after working with the Sony Walkman I will never go back to Microcrap again.

Hi Pamela,The Zune Car thingy should be able to play what you have on your Zune, that's its job. You don't want it to play the radio from the zune because your cars radio already does that. You should be tuning it from the car pack itself on the square thingy and your car to find the best signal for it.I also find that the zunes proximity to the radio helps, like resting it on the dashboard or within its compartment. The Car packs are a tricky business from ipods to zunes. The ones that are like cassette readers if your car has a cassette player (good luck with that one) that does the job very well and won't interrupt your music with incoming radio. If you have any other questions let me know. Hi Pamela,The Zune Car thingy should be able to play what you have on your Zune, that's its job.

Zune requires "Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (Home, Professional, Tablet PC, Media Center Edition 2005) or Windows Vista (all editions)". (http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/zunesoftware/minsystemreqs.htm) Be aware that you may not be able to run the Zune software if you use 64-bit XP or MCE 2002/4. Only feature the Zune software requires Vista is to sync recorded TV shows, and it only works on analog TV caps as far as I know. FYI http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/usersguide/musicvideospictures/synctv.htm If you want to sync recorded TV shows, use MCEBuddy or DVRMS Toolbox. I hear they work better since they could automatically remove commercials and convert to wmv.

This player doesn't have it's own software, so you can use whichever media program you like, I suppose. I don't use WMP or iTunes, but I've used it with Media Monkey, Musicmatch, Amarok, and a couple of others.

I have heard there might be some third party software that you can use, but I think the easiest and best way is to add your windows media player items to iTunes and then sync the iPod.
