Happy Holidays from the Zune Marketplace

MS and the Zune Marketplace are sending out a special early holiday present.  They are giving out a FREE 10 song party playlist.  Each song features a different artist, and it is definitely an All-Star collection.  

Here are the included performers:  Christina Aguilera, Clay Aiken, *NSYNC, Martina McBride, Barbra Streisand, Sarah McLachlan (I love her!!!), Alan Jackson, Destiny’s Child, Jessica Simpson, Luther Vandross

It’s quite a diverse crowd, so there is a little something for everyone.  In order to download this music, just go to the main screen for the Zune Marketplace, and search for “Happy Holidays from Zune”.  Then just select the playlist from the search results.  I have to say that this is a really great idea from MS.  It’s just a nice thing to do for people who have supported the Zune brand.  Customer appreciation is almost non-existent today, and this is a refreshing thought.  So, run out and download this present today!!!

Plus, if you order a Zune16 from Amazon, you will receive a free car pack.  That’s a $69.99 value.

Zune Marketplace: Three Free Weekly - Last One

Its with much sadness that I need to say that this is the last Three Free Weekly from the Zune Marketplace.  The program officially ends Nov. 11, so make sure to download the music before that date.  However, MS sends us out with a few fun choices.  Whitney Houston brings us one of her 80’s classics, big hair and all.  Her career has been derailed, but there is no disputing that the lady has a wonderful voice.  I had this song on tape when it first came out.  Without further adieu, here are the freebies for the week:

I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston; U Got It Bad by Usher; Bonita Applebum by Tribe Called Quest

The only requirement for the free music is that you download, and use the free Zune software.  I hope MS considers running this program again, because its been so much fun.  They’ve done a great job of mixing new and established artists, as well as all types of music.

Zune Marketplace: Three Free Weekly

Its time once again for Zune’s Three Free Weekly, except we only have two.  One of the songs is a repeat from last week.  What I am thinking is that MS really, really wants you to download Never Give You Upby Raphael Saadiq.  We also have a little Jazz, and some extra R&B to go along with Raphael.

God Bless the Child by Billie Holiday, Picture Perfect by Chris Brown, and Never Give You Upby Raphael Saadiq

The only requirement for downloading the free music is that you download and use the Zune software.  The Three Free Weekly Promotion is suppose to end on Nov.4, which is tomorrow.  I’m hoping they toss us a few more freebies to wrap up the program.  Fingers crossed!!!

Zune Marketplace: Three Free Weekly

The Zune Marketplace brings us a trio of R&B music for this week’s “Three Free Weekly”.  Actually, all three songs are from the same artist, Raphael Saadiq.  The music comes from his new album, The Way I See It.  I’m not familiar with this musician, but that’s one of the great things about this program from MS.  You can try out new music with no cost to you.  Its a great way to explore, and broaden your horizons.  I know I am going to be sad when the program ends on Nov.4

Free tunes:  100 Yard Dash, Keep Marchin’, and Never Give You Up

The only requirement for the free music is that you download and install the free Zune software.  Enjoy!!!

Zune MarketPlace: Three Free Weekly

This week the Zune Marketplace takes us back to the worlds of Jazz and Latin music.  Herbie Hancock represents the world of Jazz.  I feel like I owe Herbie Hancock an apology.  For those who have seen “Tommy Boy” with Chris Farley and David Spade, its one of my favorite movies, you know that Tommy uses Herbie Hancock instead of the John Hancock, who signed the Declaration of Independence.  So, of course, anytime I hear Herbie Hancock, I think of that movie and chuckle instead of thinking of Jazz.  Sorry Herbie.  Back to the music.  Here are the freebies for the week:

Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock; Agualine by Marc Anthony; Amores Como El Tuyo by Toby Love

The only requirement for the free music is that you download, and use the Zune software.  The Zune free music program is ending soon, so grab ‘em while you can.

Zune Weekly Freebies

The Zune Marketplace has made an excellent choice for one of its weekly freebies:  Johnny Cash.  I personally was never much of a country fan, and I am still not, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the movie  “Walk the Line”.  The music, as well as the acting, is tremendous, so I would highly recommend renting it.  The Oscars do get things right once in awhile.  The other Zune picks for the week come from the worlds of Hip-Hop and Latin music.

I Walk the Line by Johnny Cash, Valerie by Mark Ronson, and El Proximo Tonto by Banda Machos

The only requirement for downloading the free music, is that you use the Zune software, which can be downloaded for free.
