A simple act to download Zune songs may just what it takes to make an unknown musician popular. Music downloads these days are fast taking over the crown from CDs. Sales from compact discs are slipping while downloads are climbing up in numbers everyday. As MP3 technology keeps progressing and with more sites distributing music from unknown singers and musicians, it is little wonder why new stars are discovered now and then.

Indeed the Internet and media devices, like Zune, has made stardom a lot easier to reach. Artists like Sarah Bareilles and bands like Fall Out Boys are products of mp3 download popularity. These were unknown names before; these are independent artists cashing in on free exposure at download marketplaces. There were no publicity stunts, no marketing gimmicks whatsoever. All it took was a million mp3 downloads of their songs! You too can help discover an untapped talent. All you need to do is download Zune songs.

Currently, there are four major labels that partnered with Microsoft, owner of Zune, to provide content for the Zune Marketplace. This is actually an online service where Zune owners can download media files, such as mp3s, movies, and softwares. These four major labels are EMI, Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, and Warner Music Group. Independent artists featured on Zune marketplace are under the small music labels. Their compositions are popularly called Zune songs.

Firstly, if you want to download tracks by lesser know artists, avoid the major labels. Normally, the major labels will only feature popular musicians who are already famous anyway. Make sure you search from the smaller labels.

Secondly, make sure you are targeted in your search. If you like rap, dig within the rap music section. All the music genres are categorized nicely with the Marketplace from classical, pop, rock, R&B, dance to heavy metal and so on so forth.

The third useful tip is to look for the look-alikes or sound-alikes. By that, what it means is that there are artists who sound similar to popular singers like Madonna, Beyonce. These downloads are often pretty catchy.

Fourth, discover and download Zune songs that have non-traditional or catchy titles. One of Fall Out Boys songs, Tnx 4 D Mmrs or Thanks For The Memories, became a very popular download because of its unique song title spelling.

Finally, another way is to share the finds at Zune Social. Broadcast your recent Zune downloads on your MySpace and FaceBook pages. Make sure to look at what others are broadcasting as well.

There are dozens of rising stars waiting to be discovered at the Zune Marketplace. With an interactive community platform, word about good songs and musicians can spread like wildfire. So, download Zune songs now and be the one to spot the next big thing.
