Migrate Zune Data to new PC

dalst36 · 06-18-2008, 03:27 AM

I recently purchased a new pc. Is there a way to move my metadata for zune over to the new pc? It would be a pain to re-subscribe to all of my podcasts, etc.

Thanks

Well if you sign into the zune software on the new PC, I think it should copy over. (but I'm not sure)

Yeah your entire collection is linked to your Zune Tag, Just Dl the software on a New PC, Log in, and all of your stuff should be shown there. You will proabably have to DL it all to your PC then be able to sync it to your Zune again.

I think that is how it works, its kinda like Steam from steampowered if you know what that is...

Just to be on the safe side, grab the Application Data folder (AppData in Vista) of Zune and copy it to the new computer.

Nope, that won't happen.

Metadata is in the music. Just put all the music on a CD or flash drive, install the Zune Software on the new computer, and place the music in the Zune music folder.

O lol, that is more logical but who has a flash big enough to fit that much music, at least for me all my media files could never fit on a Dvd or flash lol, I would have to do multiple transfers.

16GB Flash drive, $30 AR.

Shouldn't this be in the Zune Help, Zune Software forum?

Don't pay for a flash drive, its not worth it!
If you download zune software and re-sign in, all your settings should be kept, because i did the same thing with the zune pass when i got a new computer, now about all of the songs you downloaded, then you would need to buy a flash drive and transfer the data over to the other computer!
