berdon, a member of zuneboards posted a method of using Zune as an external USB drive for your computer system. You can just add/delete/edit files. Here is the method how:

1. Apply External Hard Drive Patch / Registry Mod
2. Plug in your Zune
3. Turn on the software and press “Start Sync”
4. Quickly Begin transferring over a file from your computer to the Zune
5. Shutdown the Zune software while the transfer is still in progress
6. Transfer files through My Computer

This way Zune will stay open for new adding of files, until the it is unplugged. So now you can add files, delete files, create folders and do whatever you like.

We recently published that Zune and Vista are not compatible with each other. Microsoft has said that Zune will surely support Vista once the operating system officially released. Vista is supposed to retail in the month of January 2007.

Microsoft Zune media player will soon be able to able to communicate with your windows PC or your XBOX 360 wirelessly. As of now, Zune MP3 player’s wireless capabilities are quite limited to sharing songs, photos and other media among other Zune players.

In order to compete with iPod, Microsoft has to increase Zune’s capabilites. Now having Zune with FM tuner and communicating wirelessly with XBOX and PC is going to be great. When it is coming out? Soon.

Microsoft has admitted that their newest operating system Windows Vista and their latest Zune media players are not compatible.

Buried in the Zune website, Microsoft admits that the player is not compatible with Vista and gives no information as to when it will introduce a patch or update enabling the player to do so. Instead, users are asked to “check back soon for updates”.

It is expected that a new patch to make Windows Vista compatible with Zune will be releasted in the month of January. Vista will be launched for business this month and for retail in the month of January.

Tuesday November 14, Zune was released nationwide officially. According to review and sales reports, Zune sales are doing just good but not great. At some retail outlets its not even yet in shelves. The are no long lines in front of the electronic and music stores.

Universal Music Group and Microsoft has had a license deal for Zune media player and the Zune digital music store in which Universal will get the share of the Zune sale.

Microsoft is trying to have a similar licensing deals with other major record companies. In such deals, instead of payment per song basis, Microsoft is planning to pay the portion of the player sales. This way, Microsoft hopes to have more freedom to allow song-sharing or other promotions.

Cesar from Zune Insider will be showing the Zune today at Souped Up Cafe to the interested public at 6:30 PM onwards. Souped Up Cafe is situated at 7900 E Green Lake Dr N.

So Seattleites, go checkout the Zune today before it is publically available on November 14.

Chris Stephenson of Microsoft unboxed the Zune and shows off the cool packaging of the brown Zune, with FM radio, background-changing, and and other stuff of the Zune on CBS.

Some people are angry that Microsoft should reveal it on Internet first instead of mainstream media.

Engadget recently posted an article about what the Zune’s wireless is good for and mentioned:

You can search for and find other Zunes nearby. You can send songs / albums for the 3 x 3 trial. Songs past the three days / listens are deleted at next sync, but catalogued on your PC for record-keeping should you want to purchase them later. No word on whether Microsoft is going to keep track of which files are traded. You can send and receive image files for ‘unlimited viewing.’ (Oh, so copyrighted images aren’t worth DRMing?) You can’t: Connect to the internet, Download songs directly from the Zune store via WiFi, Sync to your computer via WiFi.”

But I think they missed one thing here. This 3 x 3 trial only applies for songs downloaded from Microsoft Zune Marketplace and not for any other mp3 songs. So Zune wireless allows you to share any mp3 which is not bought from Zune marketplace without any trouble. And I think, this will be a very big plus point for Microsoft competing with Apple iPod.

And yes, we agree that it would have been great if Zune WiFi allowed us to connect to internet or computer wirelessly. But then, what will Microsoft keep for the next version.
