Please refer to the image for a translation of the primary menu buttons. The basic functions are similar to other music sites, so you won’t likely get lost.
Zing MP3’s interface is similar to platforms like Soundcloud, Deezer, and TIDAL. Clicking on a song launches a web player displaying playback options at the bottom. It also includes features to view lyrics and for karaoke, enabling users not only to listen but also sing along.
Though some content may not be accessible from Japan, in my experience, I didn’t encounter any songs that I couldn’t play. Therefore, generally, you can access most of the displayed songs.

Zing MP3 Downloader Unavailable
Zing MP3 Downloader, an extension that supposedly allows downloading from Zing MP3, couldn’t be used upon my trial. (As of December 2023)
I explored other extensions compatible with Zing MP3, but none could download correctly. Since they seem outdated, they might no longer bypass Zing MP3’s copyright protection.
Solutions When Unable to Download from Zing MP3
Use software capable of bypassing copyright protection since Zing MP3’s content has copyright guards, preventing downloads through typical download tools. Review and stabilize your internet connection; unstable connections might cause interruptions or prevent proper processing. Aim for a minimum of 5Mbps for downloads.
