Download Music Safely to Your Zune
Don't download rubbish onto your Zune!
You need to ensure that the music you download onto your PC and MP3
player, such as a Zune, doesn't have any viruses or spyware that
will affect your system. It'll really annoy you and
potentially make you open to identity theft or worse.
Here
are some of the problems you might face if you're not
careful.
1. Spyware is almost always included in free
MP3 software. It gathers information from you PC and can
record what you type.
2. Adware is also prevalent in
these software programs. This means your PC is open to
unwanted pop-ups and other intrusive advertising.
3. A
lot of these programs include pornography and can redirect you to a
porn site.
4. Some of the free networks have spoof
files. This is where the file is actually the same 10 seconds
over and over for instance.
So when you are looking to
download music and other media files onto your Zune you need to
choose the best site. There are lots to choose from but only a
few offer protection from spyware and adware, technical support
specifically for your Zune, 24/7 access and a large quality library
to choose from.
There are two main types of site that are
safe.
There are the pay per download sites, such as Zune
Marketplace and Amazon Unbox, that have a huge selection of music
and videos. The songs are typically 99c each to download and
you can be sure that they are of high quality.
Then there are
the membership sites that offer unlimited downloads for your Zune
for a one off payment. This payment means you can download as
much as you want for life and typically cost between $30 and
$50. If you know you are going to download a lot of files then
these sites are for you.
Things have come a long way since
the early days of Napster with it's illegal downloads and you can
now be sure of a quality, legal service.
Make sure you look
out for free trials or money-back guarantees and enjoy!
