Microsofts Zune has been updated to download and stream songs via Wi-Fi.
Users can load free firmware updates that will let those with Wi-Fi access buy songs they hear over the device’s built-in FM radio that are available through the Zune Marketplace online music store.Previously, the Zune's wireless feature was limited to syncing music, movies and photos automatically with users' PCs and to sharing songs between owners.
Microsoft is also releasing a 120-gigabyte hard drive model, and one with 16 GB of flash memory later this month. It will then phase out the 80 GB and 4 GB models.
Zune owners can currently buy tunes one at a time, or pay $15 per month for a Zune Pass subscription, which gives access to every song in the catalogue. With the new wireless features, Zune Pass holders will also be able to stream songs to their devices.
