How can I download music from LimeWire to my Zune?

MP3 players are supposed to make your life easier, allowing you to listen to your music at the touch of a button, no matter where you are. The trouble is, it's not always so easy to transfer music to your MP3 player. Using the friendly file-sharing LimeWire program, you can download music right onto your Zune using a very simple procedure.

Downloading the Software

Begin by downloading the LimeWire software from the Internet. Currently, three packages are being offers: Basic, Pro and Pro Extended. Basic LimeWire software is yours to use for free, while the Pro and Extended versions offer more features to make downloading files even easier. Once you have the software downloaded and installed on your computer, you're ready to start downloading music onto your Zune MP3 player.

Using LimeWire

LimeWire is designed to make it easy for you to download files from the Internet, but the program also allows you to access music files you have previously downloaded to your computer as well. Set your LimeWire up to work with Zune by accessing the "Tools" menu from the toolbar. Select "Options," then click "Add" or "Browse." From here, you'll choose the file you want to use on your hard drive to store your LimeWire downloads.

Once your LimeWire program is running and associated with a file on your hard drive, you can start downloading music directly onto your Zune.

Using Zune Software

Without closing LimeWire, open your Zune software. Choose the "Settings" option, then select "Music." Use the "Add Folder" option to select the folder on your computer where you save your LimeWire music. "Select OK" to complete the process, linking your Zune software to your LimeWire music folder.

Your music files will now be saved in your Zune library. To complete the download, connect your Zune to the computer via USB. Your LimeWire music will be downloaded to your Zune so you can enjoy your files whenever you like.
