Zune Tin Candle
Set the mood for a throwback listening session with a candle inspired by Zune, Microsoft’s overlooked portable-media brand. From the 30 GB player released in 2006 to the Zune HD and the services that later became Xbox Music, Zune marked a distinct chapter in digital music history. This tin candle is a subtle collector-minded accent for desks, shelves, studios, and rooms built around old tech, favorite albums, and fondly remembered devices.
Zune was Microsoft's discontinued brand of digital media products and services, marketed from November 2006 until June 2012. It began with portable media players developed in cooperation with Toshiba, following Microsoft's MSN Music service and the Portable Media Center platform. MSN Music launched in 2004 using PlaysForSure DRM; Microsoft announced its closure in 2006 before introducing Zune without PlaysForSure support. The first Zune, the 30 GB Zune 30, arrived in the United States on November 14, 2006. Later models included flash-memory Zune 4, 8 and 16 players, hard-drive Zune 80 and 120 players, and the touch-screen Zune HD, introduced in 2009. The brand also covered Zune Pass, Zune Marketplace, Windows desktop software, and music and video services for Xbox 360, KIN and Windows Phone. Microsoft ended new hardware development in March 2011 and discontinued all Zune hardware in October 2011. Zune digital services continued until 2012, when Xbox Music, Xbox Video and related services succeeded the brand.
