ZUNE 80GB MP3

by Alexandre Imperial May 8, 2008 8:36AM PDT

Hi there,

I read your review about this product, but I still have one doubt. Since I'll use it with my company's notebook, in which I cannot install any software, would I still be able to upload songs/files to the Zune using Windows explorer or Windows Media Player (version 9.00.00.3354)?

Many thanks,

Alex.

not without some sort of hacking

The Zune uses Zune Marketplace software, not Windows Media Player. It's supposes to have a closed ecosystem like Apple's iPod + iTunes. I know that the 30GB was hackable to allow drag and drop through Windows Explorer but I don't know if that extends to the new Zunes. I believe that it was a registry hack on the computer itself.
