MP3 Song Downloads for Zune - Site Checklist

Purchasing a Zune lets you listen to music anywhere, but creates one small problem. Where do you go to find quality songs to download? When searching for a quality site to download songs for your Zune, you must keep a few things in mind:

1. Song library size - The bigger, the better. No one wants to look through a small catalog. You need to ensure the size is big enough to contain all of your old favorites, hard to finds and the hottest hits.
2. Zune compatibility - Which music formats should you target? If you look for MP3 and WMA you will have no problems. It's frustrating to spend time and effort on downloading songs that are not compatible and therefore, will not play on your Zune.
3. Zune music videos - Songs are great, but wouldn't it be better to have the option to download music videos for your Zune, too? The key here is diversity. Sites that offer songs as well as videos are worth your time. If they're putting in the effort to provide you with multiple levels of entertainment,  you know they want to make you happy.
4. Site reliability and stability - No one wants to use services that pop up today and are gone tomorrow. If you find a site, check how many users they have. They didn't get all those users overnight. More members means they've been around longer and are providing reliable service.
5. After-download assistance - Downloading the song is only half of the work. You also need to load the song into your Zune player. What if you're stuck or simply don't know what to do next? We're not all gadget experts, so look for someone that offers support. If they care enough about helping you, you should care enough to check them out.
   

When evaluating new mp3 download sites, always keep those questions in mind. They will save you time and effort. So, do your research and enjoy your music.
