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

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

This device will play music from anything that is connected to it via the input jack. It does not care about the size or type of player that is connected. As far as playing WMA files, I'm not certain but I think it will play them. You can get a free WMA to MP3 converter at www.Cnet/downloads if you need one. There is an instructional video for this player here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mZ7Krt2Mp4 .

The usb charging cable for the Zune acts as a data cable when connected to PC. I haven't transferred any files to or from my zune in years but I remember installing the zune software on my Windows PC, transferring my songs, pictures and videos off of my zune and onto my PC. I don't believe the files have DRM encryption so I believe you should then be able to transfer the files from your PC over to a flash drive. Let me know if that helps. Good luck

You are absolutely right David. I create my playlists on Windows Media Player 11 and zip,it's on the player. To delete a song or add, it's the same thing...hook it up and do what you want-thru WMP. This is our 2nd SanDisk. The other one is the black 2MG. Only problem we had with that one was every time we plugged in the USB XP said the deivce wasn't recognized. SanDisk was great! After walking me thru some instructions to no avail, SanDisk said we'll supply the shipping label and costs and will replace immediately. They did. Now, no problems. I think the service at SanDisk is top-notch.

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)

YES, it does play wma files. All my music files are wma -- I downloaded the CDs I had on my computer which still runs windows XP.

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!

Sadly no. If you can convert the 'wma' (Windows Media) to a mp3 then you can download it to the 'cassette' MP3 player. You can usally download a free program from 'Cnet.com' on thier site under downloads. Hope this helps you!

Hello... Is there anyway you can tell me step by step on how to do the limewire thing for the Zune...I just bought one and I have no idea on how to use it. Thanks!...

Unfortunately, the Zune HD is not 100% compatible with the speaker dock because it's not an Android phone. You may be able to hear the music play, but the buttons, remote, and charger won't work. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I personally stay as far away from WMP's music management even since I got my ZVM. It has a habit of wanting to take too much control over my music and how I have everything set, even with the options disallow it to do anything and I don't like that, I had spend several days fixing my ID3 infomation that WMP got either wrong or just plain screwed up and deleting pointless album art files (album art info can be saved to the MP3's ID3 tags) and after using WMP for something that had nothing to do with music it started to go through and screw some of them up, luckly I noticed quickly before it "fixed" it all. I personally use Media Monkey Gold and it has worked very well for me. You can also use Winamp which is still a rather good music playing program.

Zune is very easy to use - and no WMP is a standalone software and only syncs to plays for sure devices, like Archos, creative (for example)Install the zune software, and just use it to find your files and import them. They will still be in WMP. The Zune software is a lot more sophisticated, and I think you will like it.

nope, you certainly don't need windows media center. It just makes it a little more convenient if you do, since all your files are in the appropriate folders and WMP finds them automatically. But it does work with Home and Pro as well (I have home). I just might recommend you download mediamonkey (www.mediamonkey.com) if you have a lot of music files to deal with, it manages them better and also the synching capabilities beat out WMP. Hope this helps.

There may be other methods, but I just plug it into a USB port on my PC, open Windows Media Player, and use the sync menu to download my music.

Yes. From Windows Media Player, under Library menu, choose Media Sharing. Setup the new device. computer running media player will be now available as a Media server on Pioneer device.
