How to Synchronize a Zune

The Zune device uses the Zune computer software to sync your music and videos. After you download new music or add new albums to your Zune Library in the software, you can add them all instantly to your Zune player; you also can choose what you want to sync and manage the Zune sync manually. Like an iPod and iTunes, the information from the software goes on to the player. If you have music on the player that you want to keep, but it is not in the software, it will be lost if you have the sync set up to sync automatically.

Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Zune software
• Zune USB cable

1. Open the Zune software on your computer.

2. Choose what you want to sync when you connect the Zune player to your computer. Your choices are "All," "Items I choose" or "Manual sync." The "All" option will automatically sync any new music you added to the Zune software library to your Zune player. The "Items I choose" option allows you to drag and drop certain files from the library to the Zune device. "Manual sync" turns off automatic synchronizing of any changes that you made to your library, including deletions as well as additions.

3. Connect your Zune to the computer using the Zune USB cable.

4. Wait for the Zune to sync with the computer.
