Zune players are regarded as new compared to iPods. As such, not much information is available about the best way to download music to Zune. But if you're already familiar with using MP3 players, then what you read here would be straightforward to grasp.

Anyone that owns an iPod would understand how to download music to Zune quite easily. You'd need computer software. For iPod, it is iTunes software but for Zune, you can use the Windows media player which should be a resident program if you're using Windows OS. There are largely 3 ways to obtain the Zune music downloads.

The first is of course to rip songs from CDs and download music to your Zune. Simply load the disc onto your ROM drive and then activate Windows media player. Click your CD icon and you should see the tunes available on the disc.

From there, just pick the tracks you like and mouse click the "Rip" button. The tunes that are ripped would appear directly in the library. Once it is done, connect your player to the computer through a USB cable. If the settings are correctly configured between your player and the PC, synchronization should take place automatically and it would download the music to your Zune.

Even if the synchronization is incomplete, what you can do is by hand cut'n'paste the music files onto your player. It is as simple as ABC. But when you rip the tracks, do not forget to save them in the following formats WMA, MP3, WMV and MOV as these are compatible with your Zune. Other formats like RealMedia and DivX aren't, so don't trouble.

On top of ripping, there is another system to download music to Zune players. This is the common route which is to purchase your songs from conventional music stores like Zune marketplace, iTunes, Amazon and such like. Each song often costs in the region of $0.99 onwards.
