If
you have a Zune Pass subscription, you’ll see options to download music
from Marketplace directly to your phone. Subscribers can also stream
music, which might be a good option if your phone storage is already
getting full. If you don’t have a Zune Pass, you have to pay for a song
or an album to download it.
1. Buy or Download Music
On the Start screen, tap Marketplace.
Tap Music.
Flick
left or right to browse the categories: Features, New Releases, Top
Albums, and Genres. Tap a genre such as rock or jazz to see even more

Tip:
Any
music you buy from Marketplace on your phone is automatically synched
to your PC the next time you connect via the Zune software. That way,
if you ever lose your phone, you still have what you paid for.
Tip:
Marketplace isn’t the
only digital music store around. Amazon, Walmart, Apple, and other
companies also sell music, which you can download to your PC and copy
to your phone by using the Zune software. If the music isn’t in a
compatible format, the Zune software automatically converts it to a
format that your phone can play.
