How to transfer Rhapsody music playlist to Zune?

Basically, when you buy music from online stores such as Rhapsody, 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 Rhapsody 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 Rhapsody music to Zune.
