The Zune is a breeze to use with new, intuitive touch controls. Don’t subject yourself to cumbersome, slow scrolling. The innovative new Zune pad makes browsing your music, video and picture collections fun and effortless. You’ll fly through your favorites and get to just what you’re looking for in no time flat.

That’s a lot of entertainment, and you’ll appreciate it even more with the Zune’s awesome screen. The super-slim, ultra-portable Zune sports a durable, 1.8-inch color screen that provides uncompromising portable video viewing. This Zune also comes equipped with headphones and three pairs of foam headphones covers. Your favorite music, videos, and pictures have never looked and sounded better.

FM Radio
The Zune also features a built-in FM radio tuner so that you can listen to local FM stations or tune-in programming while you’re at the gym. Advanced tuning capabilities allow you to see the name of the song that’s currently playing on select frequencies.

Wireless Sync
We’re all exhausted by the cables and wires that tangle up our lives. Luckily, the Zune is one device that doesn’t require another cord. You can easily connect to your home wireless network and sync your Zune with your PC collection of digital goodies. You can also sync using the dock, AC adapter, or speaker dock accessory (not included).

The Zune Community and Marketplace
Zune is all about sharing and community. At the Zune Online Community, you’ll discover, share, and leave your musical mark. Create a Zune card and Zune profile page to reflect your musical identity. From the Zune Online Community you can invite friends, share song recommendations, post comments, and browse member pages to unearth new tunes and connect to others who share your musical tastes.

When you’re ready to purchase music and load your device with new tunes, turn to the Zune Marketplace. With more than 3 million songs, DRM-free MP3s, music videos, audio/video podcasts, and more content added every day, you’ll certainly get your fill. The store is always open and just a mouse click away. You can also choose between the download or subscription packages–buy individual songs and albums, or snag a Zune Pass subscription with all you can eat access to discover and explore the nooks and crannies of artists and genres.

Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Once your Zune is loaded with good stuff, you’ll be ready to embrace wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing. Share full-length tracks of your favorite songs, albums, playlists, pictures, and even audio podcasts. You can listen to the full track of any song you receive up to three times, and you can even pass along songs that are shared with you to other friends. If you find a song you really love, you can easily add it to your wishlist and buy it later when you sync to your PC. When it comes to syncing and importing your music, the Zune makes it easy. Zune software can automatically import your existing music, pictures and videos from iTunes and Windows Media Player in a variety of formats, including your existing playlists and song ratings.

Recorded TV or Movies to Go
The Zune will also automatically import TV shows or movies recorded using a PC running Windows Media Center in Windows Vista. Record all your favorites, sync to your Zune, and hit the road with your favorite TV shows right in your pocket.

Your Games. Your Music. Your Way.
Another awesome feature is the Zune’s compatibility with the Xbox 360. Plug your Zune into your Xbox 360 to customize the soundtrack in supported games. You also can stream music, pictures, and videos from the Zune software on your PC to your Xbox 360 console using a wireless connection. Whether you’re staying in or going out, travelling or working, the Zune can be right there with you, providing loads of entertainment direct from your pocket.

What’s in the Box
Zune 4 GB Digital Media Player, headphones, sync cable, and three pairs of foam headphone covers.

Customer Reviews

very very good by Mr.BLB
well, I am throughly pleased with the Zune 4gig (2nd gen). from size, to feel, fm radio, and the zune market place. I haven purchased any music and dont plan on to as I rather listen to pod casts. love how I can customize it to dl a certain amount of podcasts and then it just syncs with the player.

I have watched some vids and well, it does a splendid job as well in that category.

next for me might be the 80gig, 4gigs just isnt going to cut it for vac’s.

Zune 4 GB mp by L. Underhill
I like this mp3 player I can shuffle all the songs or just a gengre and it will down load a ton of pictures. Not to hard to understand to work. I had a Zen 2GB before it went though the wash but I could not shuffle any songs. The head phones that came with the Zune were hard to stay in my ears when I worked so I used my old head phones which still worked after going though the wash. My 15 year old son set up the whole system which was nice of him so I had to do was play the music.

Zune 4Gb is great. by Randal Terwillegar
This is my first experience with the Zune line and I am impressed.

The interface for the PC takes a bit of getting used to as they assume

that everyone is a dumb as a rock. It can be useful though if you understand the mind set.

Random Reboot-Fest by Suzanne Ford
This product is a decent music player… when it isn’t interrupting your favorite song with one of it’s random reboots.

You’ll be blissfully jamming along to your favorite song and then–bam–the Zune goes silent and a moment later the boot-up screen shows.

Not only does the device reboot while playing songs downloaded from the Zune marketplace, but it also reboots frequently while simply playing the FM radio!

My red Zune 8 GB started with this behavior within the first day.

I’m so frustrated with the darned thing. I’ve tried wiping it and reinstalling the firmware, etc. but nothing seems to work as the random-reboots inevitably resurface no matter what.

Don’t buy this!
