Zune is a Microsoft brand of portable media players, associated software, and an online service for acquiring and sharing media. The device released to the U.S. market was a 30 GB model for US$249.99 on November 14, 2006.
Ability to send photos, and some music files (not all music files may be shared) from Zune-to-Zune via Wi-Fi. Music files can be played only a maximum of three times on the device, and expire after three days whether they are played or not. Recipients cannot re-send music that they have received via the sharing feature.[2] Photo files may be shared without restriction.
Ability to flag tracks received from Zune-to-Zune transfer, a tool used so that a shared song may be purchased from the Zune Marketplace after it has expired.
Ability to play videos and view pictures.
Updateable firmware.
"ZuneTags", a field changeable username/profile visible to others who wirelessly scan the area for fellow Zune users.
The wallpaper on the Zune can be changed to any user-specified image.
The player software will automatically convert most audio and video in a format not supported by the Zune into a format that is. (e.g. a video with a resolution of 720x540 will be converted to a resolution of 320x240 if necessary).[3]
Zune lacks integrated podcast support, with no podcast directory or automatic downloading through RSS feeds. However, most podcast files will play on a Zune, if they are unprotected and in a format which the Zune supports.
Able to show other Zunes nearby what you are listening to or doing through advanced settings.
Support for Zune Digital Rights Management (DRM) (incompatible with other DRM schemes).
Able to add songs to a quick playlist without reconnecting to the Zune software.
Built-in FM radio, capable of showing song information on supported FM stations using RDS
