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.

Next is to think carefully about the websites you go to. If you download songs for your Zune online, why not choose a safe option and go to pay sites? The fees may bother you but there's a way to work around it. Choose membership sites that ask for reasonable fees and choose the most convenient payment option for you.

You're better off downloading from pay sites since it carries no or low risk to contracting harmful viruses. Getting a media player of such quality is costly enough; you don't need to add to the cost of repairing or cleaning your Zune from these viruses. Aside from that, free sites usually carry illegal downloads which should always be discouraged at all times.

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.
