If you check around this site you find links to a huge amount of legal free downloads for Zune - movies, videos and music in particular. But its a while since we have found a really good site for Zune Movie Downloads. Well, the drought has broken - because we have fantastic movie download site for you with an equally fantastic range of movies: from Avatar to Transformers, from the Bourne Ultimatum to Pirates of the Caribbean - there is a huge range of quality movies we can download to our Zune!

I know, because I’ve already joined and am loving it! I found it easy to join and use - so don’t let the fact that you haven’t belonged to a membership site before put you off.

And for all those newbie Zune lovers that have just joined the Zune family at Christmas - this is your lucky day. Go check out the site and see what I mean. Its the best site I’ve seen in a very long time for movies  that can be downloaded to our Zune.

Each year on WowZune we remind our readers when the Latin Grammy’s are about to be held. This is a fantastic music event with huge glamor and talent on display. Here are a couple of videos of the performers at last years 10th annual event:

The first one features  Laura Pausini at the  Latin Grammy 2009 performance - how glamorous is this!

This second video shows some of the closing ceremony - and again the glamor, movement and color of this event!

The event is staged and managed by the Latin Recording Academy, and will be held this year at  the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on November 11, 201. The nominations were announced recently at the 11th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards nominations press conference held at the Avalon in Hollywood.You can see the nominations as presented at the press conference  - presented in both Latin and English - on the LatinGrammy site.

There are bound to be quite a few YouTube videos of the event - but as they get taken down  almost as fast as they are uploaded to YouTube (LatinGrammy seem quite determined to be the sole source of media on the event) you are going to have to keep a close eye out to enjoy watching them before they are gone again!

Whilst Microsoft is gearing up to take over the music and movie sales world (providing music and movie downloads through Zune marketplace - for a price3, of course) we want to show you how you can get movies on your Zune for free!

Now, the Zune is basically just a viewing and listening device, right? - so why should we pay for yet another version of a movie we already have, just so we can watch it on our Zune?

We went looking for a solution! And we found one! Yeah, we know, we are great! Just follow our easy 2 steps to get free movies on your Zune:

1.You will need this great, super simple, FREE  bit of software called DVD43.  It sits quietly on your PC unlocking DVDs in the background, so that they can be converted and transferred to our Zune! (Rest assure,  it does nothing to the DVD, itself, just unlocks the code as it plays so that it can be “read”). It takes mere moments to download this small bit  of software.

2) Get Transfer My Video software. DVD43 allows us to now use TransferMyVideo to convert all our DVDs to play on our Zune! Which brings us to our second great find - we found a place where you can get TransferMy Video at a 15% of discount Check it out by following this link.

3) Start downloading free videos to your Zune. Our easy-to-follow instructions have already been detailed in a previous post.

This simple, three atep process means   Super cool, FREE, great Movies on our Zune! (friends got any movies you’ve been wanting to watch?)

3) The band Broken Records is also giving away a free song - A Leaving Song - as a promo for their new album. The album is called Let Me Come Home.

4) Here is a free single from the long established band - The Melvins - who are still leading the way as innovators and creators of great music. The song is called Electric Flower and is from the album The Bride Screamed Murder.

5) For an even hotter band - and for those who love the “angry rock” sound -  get the latest free MP3 from All That Remains. Its from their new album “For We Are Many” and is called For We Are Many

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:

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.
