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

Alright i have the Zune 80 and have put tons of videos on it already =] so lets get you started. First go to google and search for any video converter that will convert .avi file types to .mp4 files, which is what the zune needs to read the videos your putting on. (I used Xilisoft Converter) Now you need to make a folder to put the videos you want to place on your zune. put it on your desktop to make things easy fro yourself and call it "Zune Vids." So every video you have in .mp4 format you place into there. Then go into the Zune Software and into the settings tab which is in the top right corner when you first open the software. Click that and you will see a button called "add folder" next to the bold video text. Add your newly made "Zune Vids" folder and WHOLLA, the zune software will automatically sync any .mp4 format video you have placed in there, enjoy =]

That is not true. There are pleanty of conversion programs that will take iTunes M4V's and convert them to WMV to play on the Zune, and legally too. I have done it. Tuenbite platinum is an EXCELLENT program to convert iTune and all other DRM media to play on pretty much anything...including the ZUNE! Enjoy.

The new firmware has some bugs that can potentially scramble your music collection. If they happens, you'll might need to format your Zune and rebuild your music library to fix the problem. You might want to wait for a patch for that problem before you install it.

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

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.

yes, this system will play mp3 or WAV files or any type of file that your media player supports; I'm using Window Media Player w Win7 and it works fine....I'm pretty sure this will play anything that was going to come out of your speakers normally as it really is just a wireless sound card (wireless DAC)

To be perfectly honest, I really don't know. But I can tell you that on our second device, we skipped using the CD that comes with it and the plug in device and just plugged in the actual mp3 player directly into one of our drives on our laptop, and that worked for us to put music on it. That was Vista. Although I have a laptop with the latest Windoes, I haven't tried it yet. I say plug the device directly into a USB port and see if you can load music on it! I think it should work!

I have Windows XP with Windows Media Player. Please don't tell me this won't work. I'd really love to get one.

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.

If it is in MTP mode or Auto Detect (default) then you can use Windows Media Player. If it's in MSC, then you can just drag and drop your music.

Use WMP or Zune, set the rip option to the format you prefer (mp3 is my choice) and pick quality of the rip. Set the directory where the ripped files will be stored (default is the music folder). Once ripped, you can transfer to any connected unit using file explorer.

Yes, i am also running windows 7 and i have no problem uploading music to the mp3 player.

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).
