Can you import itunes songs to them?

Daddy

What does the interface of the Zune look like?  I believe you can if it allows you to drag and drop onto the device..

Also can you transfer itunes movies?

You can't even use the iTunes software with the Zune. You have to use It's software. If you bought songs on iTunes, better find a way to reconvert them.

With the iTunes DRM and all, about the only thing you can do is to burn your iTunes music to a CD, and rerip it to Media Player or whatever you want.  This will give you the same song without a DRM, and can be played on any device.

If the music you're talking about wasn't bought from the iTunes store, but ripped from a CD, the file location for it is:
XP:  C;\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Music\iTunes Library
Vista:  C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes Library

Since these don't have a DRM if they're from a CD, just slap them right on your Zune.

how do i iTunes Plus

If you actually bought the songs from iTunes, then no (other then using the rip trick like kotr described). If the songs were downloaded from somewhere else then it's a simple matter of dragging and dropping the files into the Zune window. And also, you must use the Zune software unless you use the iZune hack to get the computer to read the Zune like an iPod, which is pretty dumb in my opinion because the way I see it, the Zune software is far superior compared to iTunes.

If you have Zune questions you're best off asking me...

I'm assuming he didn't pay $1.40 for his music.

what
iTunes plus was 1.29 when it launched and the price dropped to .99 for most of the songs.


ALSO, NEVER BUY DRM PROTECTED MUSIC UNLESS YOU ARE A RAGING FAGGOT WHO SUPPORTS NAZIS.

Truth. At least all four labels have dropped DRM in some form, but I'm amazed Sony, Warner, and Universal haven't ditched DRM on iTunes yet.

It's really annoying that they are being such babies about it.  I refused to buy music before because I didn't want to support DRM.

I've only recently bought music, mostly from Viper Records and Babygrande Records, because iTunes plus allowed them to freely use DRM free music.  Amazon's DRM free stuff is also wonderful.  The songs are 10 cents cheaper, and the CDs themselves are a dollar or two cheaper.  Until the major labels fully drop the DRM shit and stop affiliating themselves with the RIAA I'll just continue pirating their music.

Then you should be able to get EMI very soon, they're considering and likely to leave the RIAA.

That's a good step forward.   Can you name some artists signed to EMI?   A quick look of some rap artists disappointed me(They can keep Dem Franchize Boyz and that shit, I could do without it).   I did see Daft Punk and some other good nonrap there. I guess it would allow me to expand my library to other genres.


Hopefully Universal goes this route, since there is some good mainstream stuff there.
