Zune is a line of hardware and supporting products that include the Zune Marketplace, the Zune Social, and the Zune software. Zune Marketplace offers music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, and music videos. The Zune Social is a service integrated with Xbox Live that allows users to manage friends, send messages, and compare music. Each user has a personal Zune Tag, which corresponds with their Xbox Live Gamer Tag if they have one. Zune Social allows two Zunes to send songs wirelessly, but with extensive DRM.
The Zune software is used to manage the Zune, and runs exclusively on Windows XP and later. It can rip CDs, manage music and can be used to access the Zune Marketplace. Purchasing items from the Marketplace requires Microsoft Points or a Zune Pass. Zune Pass is a subscription music service that allows the user to temporarily download an unlimited amount of songs for the length of the Zune Pass subscription, as well as permanently keep up to 10 tracks per month.
