Did you tell anyone about ZuneCentive yet

Sounds like a plan. It's located at http://zuneboards.com/staff/Diz/zAlt/KillZune.exe

krayziex47, try reseting your zune by pressing the back and up buttons for 5 seconds

hey diz i tried it. no luck :confused:
i really am clueless on what else to do

No Problem

Hum krayziex47... You don't end the sync process too early do you? I'm perplexed that even the Zune Software would spit out a sync error...

Connorewart · 01-31-2008, 08:36 PM

Hey in the Mediamonkey thingy it reads my Zune but it doesnt list all my Music in the space. it only lists it in the music tab under the tree.

Chiups · 02-01-2008, 12:34 PM

Well it works and all for me, but my only question is, when I reconnect to the Zune program will it re-f*ck up all my newly fixed albums?

Dizzy · 02-01-2008, 03:59 PM

Nope. It should all be indexed correctly and you Zune will see that.

Chiups · 02-01-2008, 04:31 PM

Yea unfortunately, I didnt know that MM doesnt overwrite the previous info just adds more. So half way through I ended up with a full Zune. So I just wiped it and started with a fresh slate and re-synced all my correctly tagged music.

LightingZaria · 02-01-2008, 04:45 PM

Hm....I'm thinking about trying this cuz Zune is just killing me now. I wanna kick my computer whenever it freezes up on me (ie every five seconds)

Dizzy · 02-01-2008, 04:52 PM

It's well worth it!

got zune? · 02-02-2008, 05:01 PM

I tried it, got it to show up in WMP but when I tried to sync it said "windows can not access the file.............."

Dizzy · 02-02-2008, 05:11 PM

That means you didn't unlock it properly. Make sure you follow all the steps.

afflictedReborn · 02-02-2008, 06:22 PM

Dizzy thank you sooooo much for creating this "loop hole" if you say. I can now finally, without any trouble, sync my music up to my Zune while using a fantastic tag-editing program. Weeeeeeeeeeee

Dizzy · 02-02-2008, 07:38 PM

You're very welcome.
Gotta love options!

Sounds like you messed up with the alternating. Remember, connect the Zune and load up the ZS. Get a file and start syncing it, then click "Stop Sync"

Then change the Service Provider to WMP or whatever you want. It will work then.

Worked for me both times I did it

ah, they said to use the task manager to stop the process after you start the sync so that's what I did, I guess i see now why it didn't work. I'll give that a shot later, thanks for the tip.

Help, how do you undo the Zalternator hack off Zune? I need to Sync videos and pics from Zune Sofware or is there a media player that will have it all? (Music, Pics, Videos etc.) Regardless of other media players, how do I get my Zune software to recognize my Zune player again?

Open zAlternator and set it back to Zune (default).

sweet! maybe i'll try it sometime; i'm ok with the new software. but whoa, seeing the old one again looks so vague...

Dizzy · 02-03-2008, 04:28 PM

Not sure vague was the right word there ; )

Go for it. You don't have much to lose.
