Most Zune lovers understand how it feels to get a new Zune player and cannot wait to find a place to download music for Zune. And we want to have our favourite songs like Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie and A Bay Bay by Hurricane Chris without hurting our wallets as well. Do not worry about it because it is the purpose of this article to discuss the download process and reveal how to download music for Zune cheaply.

HMV, Amazon and iTunes are some mega online stores where you can download Zune music together with other media files like videos, music videos and movies for Zune. Microsoft also has a Zune marketplace where you can find a huge library of over 2 million music files. But buying at these music stores is not the cheapest thing to do. Downloading one or a few music or songs is perfectly fine for your pocket as each download costs around $0.99 onwards. But you would feel the pinch if you were trying to build a private collection.

Of course another option is to head to some of the free Zune music networks where you can download music for Zune for free. While this sounds like a great idea, I can almost assure you that you may regret it like some others. Be prepared to open your computer to the risk of spyware, adware and viruses. Trojans, worms and all are but common files that are attached to the music download. Not only that, the copies might not be the full complete songs!

Another way to download music for Zune is to go the route of CD ripping. Either you rip your own CD for songs or you can always pop by a friend's place for a CD you like. Since the Zune player is no different from other MP3 players, you might already be familiar with how to rip music from CD to your player especially if you own one MP3 player like iPod or Zen currently.

The process starts first when you open a media player like Windows Media Player. Insert the CD and select the songs or soundtracks you wish to download. Next, click on the Rip button. You should see the song list appearing in the Windows Media Player library. Using the USB cable, connect your Zune player to your PC and your player would synchronize with the Windows Media Player library to download music for Zune.

Even if the player is not syncing well, it is fine. You can simply copy the music files manually onto your Zune and it would work just fine except for the extra step. On your windows explorer, you would always see your Zune as an additional drive. Be sure to download to it correctly.

One important point here when you download music for Zune online or rip music from CDs is that the file formats must be compatible with your player. Zune supports windows media player supported formats like WMA, WMV, MOV, MP4 and MP3. Do not be mistaken that they can support RealMedia or DivX format as Zune does not support them.

Other than the free sites as well as music CD ripping, you do have a third option which is a favourite among current Zune owners. This alternative comes in the form of paid membership services where you can have unlimited access to download music for Zune as well as movies, videos, games and even the latest software. All these are available without any bandwidth limits at a price lesser than $49 which is something even teens can afford.

I believe that by now, you should have a good grasp of where you can download music for Zune and do so affordably in a safe and secured environment. Check out my blog dedicated to Zune music, movies and videos on which are the reliable membership sites for unlimited Zune downloads.
