Zune through the years (photos)

The Zune Marketplace download store built in to the Zune software has always offered an attractive, curated, well-organized selection of music. Users can browse the virtual bins in the left side nav by selecting genres, playlists, top songs, or regularly-updated channels. Equipped with a Zune Pass music subscription ($14.99/mo), users can download all the music they want like they were robbing the store blind.

The most notable recent addition to the store is the selection of HD movies and television shows that can be downloaded from the video section--including rented videos that can be played on your computer or Zune HD. Rented movies expire within 24 hours after the movie starts playing, and must be finished on the device you started on.
