Microsoft Zune Firmware Update - 13 November

November 13 is an important date in the Microsoft Zune world. The new Zune 4, 8, and 80s will be released and the new Zune Firmware will be available for the Zune 30 users. The major Zune Firmware improvements are the capability for the WI-FI feature to not only sync with other Zunes but also with your computer (if you have wireless). Also, Microsoft has changed the “Three Day” music sharing policy to a “Three Play” sharing policy. Basically, when a Zune user purchases a song on the Zune Marketplace they can share the song with other Zune users. Before this update users had three days to enjoy the music then were prompted to purchase the song to continue to listen to it. Now users have three plays before they must purchase the song.

Here is the official Microsoft release on the new Zune Firmware.

“Beginning on November 13, you will be automatically prompted for a one-click update of your Zune software - with the full line of new features and functionality for your Zune. Your feedback has helped us create the new features, including Wireless Sync, a redesigned and restocked Zune Marketplace and the Zune Social where you can share music, videos and pictures that define you.”
