Microsoft has successfully brought in new software for their MP3 players. One interesting route taken by Microsoft is that they have named both their MP3 player as well as the software by the name Zune; this could actually cause identity crises. Zune can also be called a belated answer to both the iPod and iTunes. This Zune software has been designed to enable the user to view as well as manage songs, pictures and songs. It also gives you the convenience of ripping and burning the CDs, editing the information about albums and tracks and creating the playlists.

The Zune software is quite intuitive and supports an amazing user interface therefore making it quite easy to understand and use. It also features smooth audio and video playback. This software is capable of automatically importing your existing files including the audio and the video files from windows media player as well as unprotected (in fine print) files from iTunes. Since all the content of iTunes is protected, anything that has been brought through iTunes cannot be played in Zune. But Zune surely proves to be an alternative for all the Windows users who may feel that Apple gives them a second grade treatment.

Only the top right section instead of the entire top portion of the Zune software has been totally dedicated for burning files, creating playlists, viewing the current playing list and syncing media. This is a major improvement from other softwares as it saves a lot of clutter. Zune software is indeed a great way to keep all your music, pictures and videos organized.
