How to Transfer From Zune to Zune

Share music with friends on a Zune.

The Microsoft Zune MP3 player has a special ability that is not shared by many other MP3 players. It can transfer files wirelessly with other Zunes. It doesn't need a computer as an intermediary for transfer. This ability does come with a caveat, though, as recipients of music files can only listen to the file three times before they have to buy it. Still, transferring from Zune to Zune is a great way to be introduced to new music.

Things You'll Need

• 2 Zunes

Instructions

1. Turn on both Zunes. Turn them on by pressing and holding the play/pause button.

2. Turn on each Zune's wireless mode. On each, go to the Settings menu from the Zune's main menu, and then select "Wireless." A wireless symbol consisting will pop up in the bottom right corner of the Zune's screen to show that it has been activated.

3. Select your files. Whether it's a song, an album, pictures, or a podcast, the process is the same for transferring. Select the file or folder you wish to send to the other Zune.

4. Ready your file. After selecting the file, select "Send."

5. Find the other Zune. You will be brought to a list of nearby Zunes. Select the one you want to send your files to. The files will be sent.
