Under the terms of the deal, American actor Jared Leto's alternative rock band 30 Seconds To Mars and English electro-pop band Hot Chip, would be featured on the player when it goes to market later this year.
It is believed that content from other labels would also be preloaded on Zune. Universal is in discussion with Microsoft regarding the player.
