If you want free Zune Downloads, Zune Movies, Zune Music, 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.

Currently my favorite place is iZuneAccess.com - 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, and other stuff.

Another reason why I really love this site is because there are no hidden charges or monthly fee's.

A lot of people don't realize that "cheap monthly fee's" end up costing hundreds of dollars each year. Which is important to remember when you compare the price of unlimited downloading membership sites.

I would never join one which costs money each month! I don't want to waste all of my hard earned cash!

Anyway, go here to check out iZuneAccess 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! 

Microsoft seem to be aiming their Zune marketing at buyers with culture and sophistication! But as cool as this may be? it has not created the kind of buzz that builds sales - which, after all, means less incentive (funds) to develop Zune features, software. etc.

The media response to Zune is limp, to say the least. For example, Reuters has published 5 articles about Zune so far in 2008. This compares to 9 articles on iPod for the month of August alone and 426 iPod-related articles for the year to date!

And Microsoft are not helping things when they continue to delay promised features. The lack lustre response of the media to the latest rumors that Microsoft will finally introduce the Zune phone, can best understood from the following video review.

Perhaps its not "sophistication" that distinguishes the Zune owner from other MP3 owners, but a greater sense of humor!

Our search to find free zunes was started when a subscriber emails us with the following amusing story:

In an amazing twist, Microsoft is offering free iPods as their prize

While this is amusing it also shows that Microsoft are keen to win over Apple users to Microsoft. After all, if you want to catch a Tiger you had better put out meat! 

The story inspired us to go on the hunt to find more great ways to get a free Zune. The results are a selection of interesting - and sometimes challenging - contests that are on offer at this time. Some end soon - so get to it! But the picking were slim - this is pretty much all that is on offer at this time!

Free videos can often be fairly amateurish - for obvious reasons (no cash inflow from sales!) So we were delighted to discover Wizzard Media where we can download lots of excellent videos to our Zune. 

Wizzard Media specializes in podcasts - or, in their words

Wizzard Media collectively broadcasts millions of podcast downloads per day through media aggregators like Apple's iTunes, Microsoft’s Zune Marketplace and other podcast aggregators.

Whilst most of their podcasts are audio, there are plenty of excellent videos to get excited about:

Keen on nature? National Geographic has a selection of short videos - and if we subscribe, we can automatically receive each new show as it arrives:

Been avoiding that long trip because it can be a trial with young kids? Check out wubcasts - the "worlds first video podcast for pre-schooolers" There are 20 episodes already available! And no need for expensive equipment - they can watch it on Zune,

In fact, there are video selections across a big range of topics from comedy to "science and medicine" and much in between. Guys: want to impress your new girlfriend by cooking her great meal at her place - but don't actually know how to cook? Download this simple, easy to follow podcast to Zune and you have your guide in your pocket!

In fact, there are over 800,000 hours of audio and video shows available on the Wizzard Media Network. The latest podcasts are showcased on their wizard home page - but you can check this link for listings for over 300 videos available through wizard

Regulars to this site will have noticed some terse remarks concerning how Apple is currently behaving in the market place!! So it will not surprise you that I just had to post the following image. Big thumbs up to wheresthebeef.co.uk for this great image!  It shows that we at WOWZUNE are not the only ones taken aback by Apple's current aggressive marketing ploys. We just wonder how they are getting away with tactics that make Microsoft (past Machiavellian tricks) look like an Angel?? 

Nuf said!

(Midnight CST)

We will do regular updates on how to get yourself a free zune over the coming months so  better add WOWZUNE to your RSS feed or favorites!

Check out Belkin's latest iPhone cases! Look a bit familiar?

Now every iPhone that has one will be "unintentionally" promoting our favorite!

Now, we would never want to suggest that Apple has become a tad mercenary in recent months (where have all those independent software producers disappeared to? - oh yeah, that's right, they can now be found sucking at Apple's SDK teat (no more free software for them!). And where did those competing iPhone and iPod membership sites disappear to? oh yeah,that's right, Apple got them shut down (Click the links on this review site to see some of the one's that got gunned down!)

So we wonder how long it will be before Belkin is politely "requested" to remove the design now proudly taking center stage on it's front page: 

Came across this cartoon while browsing and could not resist adding it here!

Is this the ultimate test of Zune geekiness?

Check out the rest of the cartoon and if you find yourself wanting to sing along, then….

FIND OUT IF YOU ARE A ZUNE GEEK - Follow The Cartoon Link!…………..

Despite the Wowzune warning in the previous post, we are all Microsoft fans here. Not least because of Microsoft's support for the arts - previously reviewed here. 

Perhaps our favorites are the entertaining videos that have been produced for the Zune Arts site. Check these two out:

DOGFIGHT 

                                  The symbolism here is obvious but entertaining.

 LE CADEAU DU TEMPS 

                      I just love the music for this one.

If you like them, you can download the free video, Zune wallpaper and buddy icons as well to your Zune compliments of Zune-arts.  

SAMPLE OF THE FREE WALLPAPERS YOU CAN DOWNLOAD: DOGFIGHT 

 .

To DOWNLOAD this wallpaper you need to go to the Zune Arts site. There you will find all the video characters parading past. For example, if you like the Dogfight video then when the "dogfight" crew pass by, click on their characters. This will open up the screen with the download choices for this video. 

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Zunes:

The devices come in three styles (yeah, I know, out of date!), all of which play music and videos, display images, and receive FM radio. They can share files wirelessly with other Zunes and via USB with Xbox 360s, and can sync wirelessly with Windows PCs.

What this lil 'ol thang!
