Hey Airmen,

You only need an internet connection to download new music and podcasts, you can still charge the Zune and sort your library without any internet.

If you need the the software itself then all I can suggest is finding a non-restrictive connection to download it, or download it somewhere else and put it on a thumb drive.

Godspeed!

If you have the software installed and music on your zune, you can buy a wall
charger for like 20$, then you don't need a computer to charge your zune!
