Now that you have in your hands one of the best portable media player around, you should try to download songs for your Zune. The best thing is that you can practically get songs from all types of resources. This makes Zune so likeable to many fanatics.

When you download songs for your Zune over the internet, you have the option of pay or free sites. When you go into pay sites, you have two options again: pay per song or pay for a one time membership fee. Each of these download options have their perks and downfalls. You will know about them later on. However, before you start your song downloading spree, there are some things you need to consider.

Before you select music files for download, keep in mind the file formats that your player accepts. It basically accepts and reads MP3, WMA, and AAC file formats. If you can’t find your favorite song in either of these formats, the best thing to do is to use software which will help you convert your song into a playable Zune format.

It’s safe to download songs for your Zune from pay sites. Aside from that, you are downloading legal files, ones that don’t contain harmful viruses. If you have to choose from the two payment options, choose the one-time subscription fee since you get to save a lot more with this option.

When you download from free sites, you download illegally and you risk exposing your media player to damaging viruses. Purchasing a media player is one thing, having to pay for its repair is another. You definitely won’t get to save if you encounter this problem, so try to avoid it in the first place.

However, if you have no problems with legalities, you can always download from these sites. Then again, you are faced with another problem. Free sites usually have messy downloads. Songs are usually mislabeled or are available in poor quality. Is this what a great media player deserves?

Then again, you can always choose to rip music from your favorite CDs. You get to save money this way too since you already own the CD or can borrow from a friend. All you need is software and you’re good to go. You can listen to your favourite music using a much more portable player than the conventional CD player.
