Default 3 Days 3 Plays?

Is there a way around the wifi 3 Day/3 Play limit? That's really the only complaint I have about the Zune. Other than that, it's fantastic!

Default Iffy

I am yet to try this, But I have seen it done. It's a pain in the but and requires a computer, so it really would not be worth it, but I'll put it out there anyways.

Basically, pictures dont not have the 3 day/3 play limit, so on a computer change the song name from, lets say DM.mp3, to DM.jpg. Send the song, and the other person can then change it back and play it as they wish.

This is a hasstle, however It can be done. Possibly with the release of Zune Linux (sorry to change the subject but I am quite excited about its release whenever it may be), this can all be done from the Zune.

Well it would be nice to be able to do it without totally changing my Zune to Linux or whatnot, I'm a tad iffy about that one.

Default Clarification

The Linux was only an idea. It's not needed. What is needed at this point is a computer to change the extension (.mp3) to a picture extension (.jpg, .gif, ect.). Still a hasstle, but possible none the less.

It's just a pity that there isn't a way to alter the Zune itself to take away the 3 Day/3 Play parameters, without having to alter the whole OS

Using a computer to break the 3way limitation is useless. The whole point is to do it wireless away from the computer.
