As is standard on Windows Phones, music and videos are accessed through the Zune hub, which is modeled after Microsoft's own now-retired brand of portable media players. The Zune app holds not only your files transferred from a computer, but also your own photos and videos shot on the device.
However, no matter the setting, we found that songs were consistently skipping the first half-second or so of playback. It's an odd quirk that provides some irritation when listening to albums, and something that needs to be fixed ASAP.
The Zune app also includes a built-in FM radio function, which is a nice touch, albeit one that only works via headphones (as they're reportedly used as an antenna). It's a dead-simple app, though the playback is stellar even indoors, and the screen lists the station and track info on the screen.
