If you want free Zune Downloads, Zune Movies, Zune Music, Zune Games and more - then you’ve come to the right place! I update this page every day with the best place that I’ve found to get unlimited free Zune downloads from. The sites we show you below - if you follow our links you can either avoid giving them your email (and all the annoying promos that go with that) or get better deals

Currently my favorite place is - ZneZone - which has just a small one time fee - and then unlimited downloads for life. What is really cool is that they have over 95 Million files available right now. Which is just unbelievably cool if you want to fill your Zune with movies, music, games and other stuff.

By the way, we probably should let you know that they are currently offering a SPECIAL BONUS to all their new members! (One reason they got our faves list). You just need to click on any item listed in the main menu to see the details for this bonus offer.

Anyway, go here to check out this great site and see what you think about it - And then send me a thank you note for showing you the best website on the internet for Zune owners!

BUT - you may not have any $$ right now, even for this great low-priced deal!

So we have come up with a great alternative for you. You do get fewer free downloads - but you will pay NOTHING at all for them. All up, by joining all three of the sites below (its free to join) you can get 38 free MP3s (all YOUR choice, and from all the best and most popular songs - which come with no DRM) and two weeks access to download as many movies and TV shows and games that you can!

Be warned, though - you must cancel your free membership before it ends in order to avoid being converted to paid membership. You need to follow the links we provide to get the max number of free downloads and to know where to go to cancel once you have your free MP3s - if you want to..

Best Site - by a long way! Easy to join, easy to use and easy to cancel your free membership - 10 free songs + Movies + TV Shows + games + free Zune compatible  video converter (and you have 14 days to download all the movies and TV shows and games you can!) You can cancel your free subscription at any time - details here

Second Best site:Easy to join, easy to use and easy to cancel your free membership. Get 25 FREE Zune® compatible downloads(and you have 7 days to download them and they are DMR free) You can cancel your subscription any time by going to your account page. Any problems and you can contact them here.

We recommend that you join all  of these sites (did we mention its free?), to get the maximum number of free downloads!

WowZune has done a search for the coolest animated music videos currently on offer from around the web. We selected the ones we liked the best from the sites we liked the best (great range of videos and great music and animation). The top three animated music videos we selected are:

From the first site we selected the following cute animation:

Very different, but with impressive music and animation, is this video we selected from this forum where users posted their favorite animated music video (today!):

Our third site has a great selection of the best youtube videos. Just enter “animated music videos” into the search bar (including the quotes) to get a great selection.

Finally, we had to include perhaps the best music animation ever produced from  Beauty and the Beast (yes even better than that penguin dance thing!):

With over 3million views for just thoe official Celene Dion version, we think we are right to claim it as one of the best!

If you don’t know how to watch videos on your Zune for free, then check out our previous posts that explain how to do this, here and here.

If you think you know where a better selection of animated  music videos can be found, then tell us all about it in the comments section below.

 Most people are familiar with AudioBoo - its a great site for recording, or uploading audio to. So it tends to be popular with people who do podcasting. And when you go to the site and have a look around - well, its obvious that podcasters use it - a LOT!

But - if you know how and where to look - there is gold in them thar hills! Because some real talented musicians have also uploaded their music to AudioBoo - and all you need to enjoy their music on your Zune is:

1) access to a browser (this the need for the Zune HD)

2) Join AudioBoo  (its free and easy)

Here is a sample of what we found:  -

The sweet music from The Russell Thomas Agenda - Concrete Jungle. More of his music can be found at his Russell Thomas AudioBoo page… (but you need to be an AudioBoo member for the link to take you there)

and from sweetgabby60 comes this Reggae piece -Reggae 2

And for a bit of variety, check out AgentX:

We found this music by putting in “reggae” into the search bar. That easy!

Don’t forget to share your great new “secret” with your BFFs.

If you are a fan of Reggae music, then you will appreciate the heads up that the 2010 Digital Reggae Festival Guide will be available from next week.

The guide is in its 16th year of production - so there is not much that the producers of the guide don’t know about Reggae festivals around the USA and even other countries from around the globe.

And if you are a fan of Reggae, then here is a free MP3 that you will love to download to your Zune:

Ecos de Radio Iguana from Ya Foy! by Sarazino.

If you look around the WowZune site you will find a lot of  free Zune music.

And we have found another great source of free music that can be downloaded to our Zune! Soundcloud offers bands a way of putting their music online - and a lot of this music is provided free for us to download to our Zune. Just follow this link to thousands of free music downloads from Soundcloud. But this is a huge list - and not particularly useful if you are looking for particular types of music.

No problems.  Lets say your passion is for Latin music. Then just type in latin +”free download” before site in the url for the above link and you will get over 900 Latin music results from Soundcloud to browse through. For example, Latin Fever - Subguys Remix, is one of the free downloads you can get from the site (just click the play button below to download this song)

Or perhaps you prefer Jazz, or Hip Hop? Just type in jazz +”free download” or Hip Hop +”free download” before the url in this link - and you will find hundreds of free instrumentals and songs in your favorite genre to download to your Zune.

Earlier this year we did a post showing how to download music from iTunes to Zune. In the example we introduced you to Soundclick. But we really did not focus on the site as we were really just using it to demo downloading-to-iTunes-to-Zune.

But as this is an awesome site with over 400,000 free songs on offer for us to download legally to our Zune, its time to tell you more about it. For example, here is a sample of an MP3 that’s free to download to your Zune (artist is Elemento Latino):

The reason music is free onSoundclick is that it is released under “creative commons” license. Creative commons is a form of license that allows musicians to release their music for sharing for free.  According to Soundclick:

it’s absolutely legal to download any song which is downloadable 

In other words, if you can download the music for for free, that means it is being released under creative commons for your free use. Musicians do also sell their music on Soundclick. So you need to be able to navigate to the page where you are able to select the free music released under creative commons (not the music released under commercial license which you will have to pay for):

In the example shown, you can see that there are over 68,000 free Hip Hop Mp3’s on offer under creative commons license. This is one of the largest categories, but there is also, for example, 2,792 free Latin music MP3s on offer and  34,693 free Rock MP3s - all for for downloading for free to our Zunes and so on. Check it out. There is some truly awesome music on offer.

This is just a quick post to share a great find with you. One way to get free music on our Zune is by listening to online radio stations. But that means having access to WiFi! And that means its no longer free unless we can hook into free WiFi hot spots.

Well, we have found a great resource which provides a list of free WiFi spots from all around the world.  And in the USA, the free WiFi hot spots sites are listed by city. In New York, for example, wififreespot  list hundreds of hot spots, with address (and even phone numbers). It would be great if they showed the hot spots on an  interactive map, but its still a great resource!

We have done many posts about where on the net to get free Zune music. This post is a little different. This time we are going to show you how to get free music for your Zune from offline sources - namely any CD you can grab a-hold of!

Before you do anything else, open your Zune media player and make sure the rip settings are as follows:

Then:

1) Grab the CD music you love (and have borrowed from your best mate) and insert it in your computer’s  CD tray.

2) Your Zune desktop media player will auto-detect the CD and the album screen will appear - and will auto rip the songs in the album. If you want to select songs and not the whole album, simply click “cancel rip”.

3. To choose the songs in the CD, tick the songs you want and then click the Start Rip button.

Zune begins to rip the CD.

In a few minutes, your music is copied to your library, and you can remove the CD from your PC. The next time you sync, the newly ripped songs get copied onto your Zune. Now you can enjoy your music anytime, both on your Zune and your PC.
