help Microsoft Zune 120 FAQ
When was the Microsoft Zune 120 released, and why was 120 GB important?
Microsoft announced the Zune 120 for September 16, 2008. Its 120 GB hard drive made it the highest-capacity player in the Zune line and gave it room for music, video, and podcasts.
Can the Zune 120 play video, or is it only a music player?
It is a portable media player, not just an MP3 player: the Zune platform supported music, video, podcasts, and an FM tuner. The Zune 120 also had Wi-Fi features tied to Zune software and services when those services were active.
What happened to Zune Marketplace and Zune Pass for a Zune 120?
Microsoft's 2008 Zune announcement listed Zune Pass at $14.99 per month, but the Zune online services are no longer operating. A Zune 120 is therefore most useful with music and video files already stored locally and synced through compatible legacy software.
How many songs can fit on a 120 GB Zune?
There is no fixed song count because bitrate and video use change the result. As a rough guide, 120 GB can hold around 25,000 to 30,000 four-minute MP3 tracks at 128 kbps before space is taken by formatting and other media.
