USE IT FOR STORAGE Unlike almost all other players, the Zune can't be used as a USB drive out of the box. 1. Install .NET Framework 2.0 from microsoft.com. 2. Download the ZuneHDPatch at http://cppworld.com/Zune/ZuneHDPatch.exe, and run it on your PC with your Zune unplugged and the Zune software closed. 3. Plug your Zune into your PC, and it should appear as an external hard drive. 4. To copy files, make sure the Zune software is running and set to "syncing." useful KEEP SHARED SONGS You can beam songs to other Zunes, but they are deleted after three plays. 1. To avoid this, do the storage trick [previous], then change the song files' extension to .jpg. Place the files, along with a real image file, into a new folder in your Zune's "received pictures" folder (only noncopyrighted songs!). 2. Send the "pictures" folder to a friend's Zune. 3. On that Zune, sync the folder with a PC. Change the extensions back, and move the songs to your Zune.
^uh, is this for the flash cause 4gb isn't even enough for songs let alone as a hd lol.... but yea if i had a zune i definitely wouldn't use it as external as it would be filled up with playable media haha.... that's what real external hd's are for i don't think hd mp3 players make good external hd nowadays with like 500gb external hd being like $120 bucks...
lol that's why my next player is definitely not the flash zune, soo much needed hacks to get things going, similar to the ipod, i'd rather get a creative zen next haha...the zune 80 though if cheap i would get.
mmm.. your welcome.. not like i care.. its just an easy way to use the zune as an external hard drive.. but if you dont think this is useful.. i don't mind mods closing this.. since a new zune without this patch can't be used to be use as a external hard drive. unlike apple.. but apple isn't so great either.. well to me it isn't..
