l heart the zune and i know for a fact more hacks will come out.

So that means we can rename mp3 files to jpeg and wireless share them without the 3 day limitation?

i see so many hacks being brwed right about now-that useless wireless function will definetly be extremly useful trust me.

People would battle with the while DRM and locked device crap, but man its just not even 'nice'.

I wonder who microsoft hired to design this thing that thought 'hey, know what'd be great? lets make it a nice brown slice of brick'. they paid this guy ?! rofl.]]>Nov 24th 2006 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/
Find someone else with a Zune (most likely a friend, because we've all said how we feel about approaching - or being approached by - strangers) and send them both files. Even if they haven't figured out how to enable USB drive support for their Zune yet, they can use the instructions.jpg file to do that. Once followed, then they know to rename the coolstuff.jpg back to coolstuff.zip and presto, they've got whatever you wanted to send.

Yes, the Zune did just become more worth having.]]>Nov 24th 2006 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Nov 24th 2006 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Nov 24th 2006 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Nov 24th 2006 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Nov 24th 2006 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Nov 24th 2006 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/The device was created to be used as a mp3 player, NOT an external hard drive.
In case you've forgotten, we actually have hardware that is specifically designed for such duties as "external hard drive". Lets think about it...Duoh! Wait, you've already missed that opportunity.

Go play dumbass somewhere else.]]>Nov 26th 2006 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Nov 24th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Dude!

Me, I'd rather they let me deal with my company.]]>Nov 24th 2006 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Seriously. I use my 60GB iPod to move files from home to work to home again without needing to hack the reg or load additional software. Its simple and easy. Period. Why on earth would I even contemplate giving that up? And sorry fanboism isn't a legit reason.
Fuck the Zune. Its the XBOX of the MPM world. Wake me when they come out with the 360.]]>Nov 24th 2006 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Nov 24th 2006 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Unfortunately I dont think there will be much hacks for it though and wonder if certain ones made for Zune could work for the gigabeat? As they are both basically portable MCE??
I just want MASS STORAGE and to change the background or something.]]>Nov 24th 2006 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/
It's a constant reminder on the open market place how totally incompetent MS really is.

And now tell me peeps, why do you all tie yourselves to Windows?

Just last night I dreamed of Mass Storage mode on the Zune. Nobody on the market offers this because it's such a new new feature that hasn't been around for years, and I knew that Microsoft would go out of its way to give it to us, 'cause they are technological leaders, and extremely pro-"open standards". Even if the Zune sucked, I would buy it for the simple possibility that it might not in future - but of course it doesn't. It's great!

Anyhow, in my dream I said "how cool would it be to have me send a non-photo file to another Zune, but diguise it as a jpg photo!!!" That would be awesome.

Then I just explain to my nearby Zunester what I've done so he knows what to do with it when he gets it. Could it get any easier, I wondered? Nope, couldn't think of an easier way. I've ALWAYS wanted to send secret files and then explain myself like this!

Killer unit. Where do I sign up?]]>Nov 25th 2006 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/I love it. I use the radio one a week. I use the "WMA" / "MP3" player once every few days.

The device certainly has its flaws, but it is hardly a piece of junk.

Any for that matter, I am quite keen on the brown / green color combo. Plus the thing is built like a tank.

That said, I haven't found another Zune in the wild yet.

PLus for all of you that need to support your arguments by insulting people as opposed to using credible technical knowledge... for shame.]]>Mar 2nd 2007 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/24/zune-usb-drive-hack-splained/Apparently the installation disc looks for those, and it is not finding it, therefor it gives an error on installation.
Anyone has encountered this problem before and solved it ?
