How to Share Content Between Zune Players

One of the most exciting features of the new Zune Digital Music Player is its ability to wirelessly "beam" music tracks and pictures to another Zune. Here's how to do it.

Difficulty: Easy

   Choose the Zune you want to beam your album or playlist to.

5. To send a picture, select PICTURES. Choose the picture you want to beam.
   Press the center of the Zune pad and select SEND. Choose the Zune you want to beam your picture to.

6. To send a folder of pictures, select PICTURES. Select by folder. Choose the folder of pictures you want to beam. Select SEND. Choose the Zune you want to beam your pictures to.

7. To send a podcast, select PODCASTS, then choose the podcast you want to beam. Select SEND. Choose the Zune you want to beam your podcast to.
