Zune with WMP?

[BigRondo]

I have a Zune that I would like to use with Windows Media Player. I know there used to be software out there that would allow this, but it seems to have disappeared.

My question is: does anyone know how I can make the Zune work with WMP?

Thanks for looking in! :wavey:

Don't Like the Zune software Ron? I'll admit it is a lacking features, but then again, so is the Zune so i guess it fits

I like the Zune software just fine. I have a friend of mine that hates her iPod & iTunes and is looking for another option. Seems the players that work with WMP don't have the capacity of the Zune & iPod. She has a 160GB iPod now and would like something with similar capacity. I know the Zune has a 120GB model, since that's what I have.

Steve, thanks for the link. It appears that used to be the case, but no longer. The Zune only shows up in the Device Manager as a portable device & in the Zune software. It doesn't show up as a storage device, so the auto play deal is irrelevant.

I haven't given up on this yet. I love a good challenge!!

I had somewhat of a breakthrough. I discovered that all playlists created with WMP are automatically transferred to the Zune software. A step in the right direction.

Turns out she doesn't want the Zune and is heading in a different direction.
