Microsoft Unwraps New Zune Site

Microsoft has unveiled a new website that describes features of the upcoming Zune music store and also revealed that MSN Music won’t continue to sell digital songs.

The new site outlines details of the Zune player as well as the Zune marketplace, where customers can buy songs individually or subscribe to a monthly music download service. The site already features a few bands and offers downloads of images and videos of Zune advertisements.

Microsoft is pointing to the new Zune.net site from MSN Music, an online store that offers articles about artists as well as music sales. Now, the customer service page of the MSN Music store says that starting Nov. 14, the launch date for Zune, customers will notice that the current “buy” button near songs for sale will change to links that connect to Zune and to RealNetworks’ Rhapsody service. As part of a previous legal settlement with rival Real, Microsoft has agreed to promote Real’s music service.
