Mind helping me out?

(Alright, I'm new to this MP3 player thing, so don't berate me for my ignorance on the subject.)

Anyway, I recently bought a Zune. I installed the Zune library software onto my PC, and got to work filling her up. Then, low and behold, my PC died. I got all the music I wanted onto my Zune, so it's no huge factor. The problem is that I've added a lot of music to my laptop(which is running iTunes), and I'd like to add all of this to my Zune as soon as possible. (The music on my laptop isn't on my PC.)Is there anyway to do this? I assume that my Zune is now set to my PC, and if I change it to using my laptop...it'd replace all of the music from my PC, with music from my laptop. Anyway to just add songs from my laptop without losing the songs from my PC?

Better yet, is there a way to have it so I can add music from my laptop,and PC?

i believe that if u have made your pc the "home" for your zune, you can still use it on other computers. when u plug it in to sync, it'll say somthin like "this zune is synched to another library. sign in as guest or resync to new library." just sign in as a guest and i think it will keep all of your old music and allow u to put on more. hope that helps


ps sorry about the spelling

yes you can sync your zune on 2 computers. just use the guest sign on when your away from the desktop

Awesome. =D

So, all I need to do is download the Zune Software onto my laptop?

Well, this brings up another problem. My laptop is running a modified XP-Vista hybrid OS, as opposed to anything normal for windows, thus making it impossible for me to update it normally. Zune keeps asking me to update before installing. Any way to get around this?

Or better yet, is there a way to modify my Zune without using the Zune software? Maybe something as simple as dragging songs into it as a drive in explorer, copy/paste style?

the latter requires hacks, so unfortunately you cannot do that. you can use it as an external HD, but i never looked into it further.

Would the guys down at teh Hacks Board know anything about this, or...?

haah, we would all like to have a program that would sync the songs instead of using the 3rd world Zune software. you can give them a try, but i dont think its out yet.
