How to transfer Napster music playlist to Zune?

Basically, when you buy music from online stores such as Napster, they are actually DRM protected content and you will not be able to play them on mp3 players which do not support their formats. That means that if you have a Microsoft Zune, you cannot use Napster music. In such case, the option is to burn those tracks to a CD and then rip them once again to the HD wherein the DRM will be removed and you will get the tracks in (DRM free) MP3/WMA format. After this you will be able to transfer them to your Zune.

The following step by step tutorial will show you how to transfer DRM protected Napster music to Zune.

The tools you will need:

TuneClone Audio Converter
Napster Software
Zune
Zune Software

Step 1. Make settings in TuneClone Audio Converter

Download TuneClone from http://www.tuneclone.com/index.php and install it. After launching TuneClone, click the "Settings" button. In the pop-up dialog of "Options", you can specify the "Output Folder", "Output Filenames", "Output Format" (here we choose either MP3 or WMA), etc. for the output files.

Tip: You can get the output protection removed MP3 music folder by clicking the "Folder" button after the whole process.

2. Create a new playlist in Napster

Under "My Playlist", click the "New Playlist" button to create a new playlist. Drag and drop to the playlist the music you are going to burn from your Napster Library.

3. Make CD burning settings in Napster

Click "Tools", and select "Preference..." from the drop-down list. In the left panel of "Options", navigate to "CD Options". In the right panel of "CD Options", choose TuneClone virtual CD drive as the preferred CD burner.

Click the "Burn Disk" button to start the burning and encoding process.

After the burning gets started, TuneClone will automatically convert the music file to MP3/WMA. You can open the manager screen to show all the converted music files.

The most important step is to choose the CD burner. Then the software can convert the music files automatically. It is exceedingly easy when you want to batch convert lots of files.

After you get the output MP3/WMA files converted from the Napster music playlist in your Napster, you can now begin to transfer the MP3/WMA files to your Zune.
