How to Put MP3s on Zune
Microsoft's Zune series MP3 players are user friendly, resilient and have a great battery life. The Zune program organizes your songs by artist, album, songs, genre, year and rating. It's recommended that you begin labeling your music files with these added bits of information. Zune will lump songs together that don't have these descriptions attached to them, making it difficult to browse your music collection. Sometimes, MP3s will already have this data pre-programmed on the file. If not, any organizing you do will ensure faster browsing through your music libraries.

Tips & Warnings
Rename folders and title tracks, while staying away from the folder name "unknown artist" or some other nondescript label. If you like knowing the album track numbers associated with songs, it is best to reserve space at the end of your title, as opposed to at the beginning. This is not a necessary step, although it prevents Zune from lumping together all the 1st, 2nd or 3rd tracks of your many albums into a bank where it can be difficult to browse the files in your library.
