Listening to, watching, and sharing your Zune
Scoring a Zune
Opening the box and charging up your new Zune
Exploring the preloaded content
I
f you’re reading this book, then you either recently purchased a Zune or
are seriously considering getting one. Either way, it’s time to find out what
a Zune can do! In this chapter, you can take a look at what you gain when
you get your hands on a Zune — or figure out how to get ahold of one if you
haven’t picked one up yet.
Entertainment on the Go
So, the big question you’re asking yourself is this: What is this Zune thing and
what can it do for me? The first thing to realize is that a Zune is so much
more than just a music player; it’s a full-blown entertainment unit that has
30GB of memory and just happens to fit in your pocket. Any one of the Zune
devices — they come in three different colors but are otherwise the same —
is capable of doing a ton of great things right out of the box. What kinds of
great things? Well, check out this list:
Take all your music, photos, and videos with you everywhere you go,
which means you can
Store 500 hours (at standard settings) of music so that you can
listen on the go.
Tune into FM radio stations, set your station presets, and even
receive station information (station call letters or music format,
for example) on the fly.
