Media Sharing with the Zune Software

Xbox 360 supports media sharing from the Zune software on your PC to your console.

With the Zune software, you can manage your library, download music from Zune Marketplace, play and view music, pictures, and video, and share content to your Xbox 360 console. The Zune software comes with the Zune device, but you also can download it and use it on its own. To set up streaming from your Zune software, see Share Media from a PC with Xbox 360.

Note

You can stream only unprotected content and Zune Marketplace content to your console.
