Could I buy a Zune in France?
If yes, where...

Amaury Salles,

The only places Zunes are sold right now is in the United States. I think it will be a while before the Zune goes international. However, if you don't want to wait, I think ebay is a place you can buy one and they will ship it to France for you.

Hope this helps.

Can I still download my personal music files my cd's or old mp3 player to my Zune.
Do I have to download music from the Zune website?
I am interested in buying one VERY SOON.

I am in the decision mode about Zune. I already have an iPod, but don't like the way iTunes works. What I'd like to know before I spend $200 is whether Zune can be loaded up with my vast collection of mp3 files by just using Windows MediaPlayer.

There sure seems to be woefully little information in this regard. Are we prospective buyers just supposed to go out and buy one and see if we like how it works, or what?
