If you want to keep your music in the event zune pass disables them or if you have gotten shared music, use one of the plays to record it to your computer.ﾃつ*ﾃつ*Use a male-to-male stereo link cable to connect the Zune headphone to the mic of the computer.ﾃつ*ﾃつ*Save it as an MP3 file and add it to your library.ﾃつ*ﾃつ*You'll have it as long as you want it.ﾃつ*ﾃつ*I tried this using the free version of WavePad
