Is Zune Marketplace Shutting Down?

[Sam]

I know they stopped making Zune Hardware in 2011, but they marketplace was still available and music was still downloadable. Now the entire Zune website is gone and the zune.net redirects you and tells you that zune music is now xbox music. Does that mean my zune hardware is no longer going to be working, or will it just transfer over into a new type of software setup?

Zune purchases should transfer to your live.com account and carry over. Microsoft discontinued the Zune hardware as of 2011 and moved it's primary into Windows 8, XBOX, and Windows Phone 8 smartphones to carry the services. You need one of the three to continue to receive service.
