Zune update news




















You do not have to switch to manual sync When you are all set and updated, if you want it recategorized to music vs. Link to this PC so it will become the 'master' and will be able to automatically sync if your settings allow this. Choose a sync mode- automatic or choose or manual If you choose 'automatic' then everything you reverse sync'd will recategorize to music, and will be managed by the zune software.

New music will automatically sync. Music you have reverse sync'd and then remove from the PC will be removed from the device music you have not reverse sync'd remains unmanaged as guest content in that reserved space category. If you pick 'choose' mode, then anything you reverse sync and choose will be managed by zune software like it was automatic. Anything not chosen will remain unmanaged in reserved space.

But today, almost a decade after Microsoft terminated the brand, there is a small bastion of diehards who are still loving and listening to their Zunes. Preserving the Zune legacy has just become another part of the hobby. And so, most of the posts on the subreddit radiate with a strong wistful ennui in lieu of any firmware updates on the horizon.

Others administer modifications on their Zunes that push the hardware well past what it was capable of in ; like retrofitting an imaginary future where the Zune was not only still around but dominant. Someone else flaunts the wireless charging adapter they added to an ancient Zune One frequent contributor to the forum, year-old Erick Leach, reminds me that, in its heyday, the Zune came equipped with a fairly robust social media appendage: Zune owners could send songs to each other wirelessly and unlock Xbox Live-like achievements for the music they listened to — both novel features in the mids.

The brand never managed to muster the cultural ubiquity of the iPod Apple attempted its own failed social network, Ping, around the same time , but with that emphasis on community, perhaps it was inevitable for the Zune to eventually mount a cult-like fandom. He always felt like there was a massive nation of Zune-heads out there who he would surely meet someday. Leach believes the Zune has aged better than people might think.

Simply and effectively. The Zune Marketplace offered a genuine streaming subscription — long before that became the dominant way people consumed music — which never caught on.

Woods tells me that solidarity among Zuners has never been stronger. He finds even more thrills in this strange afterlife, as the years have eroded away everyone except for the zealots.

The last feature added to Zune. You can subscribe at the forum level, getting RSS updates when there are new threads. At the thread level, you use the email subscription feature to keep updated on threads. And that's it for the update - nothing earth shattering, but a step forward for people using Zune.
