Use A Zune To Share Files

Zune is a small MP3 and video player with a minimum 30 GB drive, making it capable of storing a lot of songs and pictures. It only takes a few button clicks to share playlists, images and movie files with wireless consoles such as the Xbox 360.


Instructions


1. Install Zune software on a computer connected to your network. Place the file you want to share into one of the monitored folders. This includes the My Music folder, the My Pictures folder and the My Videos folder.


2. Ensure that your music files are stored as WMA, MP4, MP3, M4A or M4B. Check that your videos are in the WMV file format. Your images must be in JPEG or JPG format, and your playlists have to be in ZPL or M3U format.


3. Open the Zune software and select "Settings" then click "Sharing." Once you open the "Media Sharing" window, click on "Enable Media Sharing with Xbox 360."


4. Name your new collection by typing it into the box and select the type of media you would like to share.


5. Select one of the Xbox 360 sharing options. Your choices are to share with all Xbox 360s or to only share with particular consoles.


6. Move to the Media section in your Xbox dashboard after you turn on media sharing. Now you can play music, watch videos or peruse images from your Zune collection on your Xbox 360.
