Software giant Microsoft has now made available the Zune 3.0 software update for the owners of their Zune digital media players. This latest software update brings a lot of new functionalities on the Zune.
Users equipped with the Zune 3.0 software update can download music directly to their players, either over a home wireless network or through Wi-Fi hotspots at more than 9,800 McDonald's restaurants in the U.S., courtesy of Internet access provider Wayport.
“Wayport is pleased to be working with Microsoft to make it easier for Zune users to access music on the go,” said Dan Lowden, vice president of business development and marketing for Wayport.
Zune users would also be able tag and purchase songs directly from the built-in FM radio and tap into new, personalized music recommendations and programming.
Zune customers have a choice in how they acquire music - they can pay per track or choose a Zune Pass subscription. Zune Pass subscribers can download or stream music from their Zune or computer interchangeably, all for a flat rate of $14.99 (U.S.) per month.
Microsoft also released pricing for new Zune players. Pricing starts at $130 for the 4-GB model, $150 for 8 GB, $199 for 16 GB, $230 for 80 GB, and $250 for 120 GB.
