Play your Zune Marketplace music in Windows Media Player 11
Friday, February 23 2007
Windows Media Player is my music/video player of choice. WMP10 seemed to make it really easy for me to find my purchased music. At least I don't remember struggling to find it, more like "oh cool, here's a list of my downloads from MSNMusic." I haven't had that same luck with WMP11. :-\
Note that MSN Music has been replaced by the Zune Marketplace for purchases, just in case you were wondering.
But where is my Zune music located in WMP11? Admittedly, it is pretty simple, but I seem to forget each time I upgrade to WMP11 on one of my multiple computers. [shrug] So here's where you can find it:
- Click on Library.
- Click on "Online Stores," over on the left side listed underneath Library (you might have to click on the + sign).
- In the right pane one of the options should be Zune. Double-click and away you go.
I believe you will still need the Zune software installed on the machine and to log in every so often for the DRM to authenticate. A pain yes, but necessary.

ps: Yes, that's Faith Hill on the top of my Zune pile. She can sing and she's hawt! ;-)
