chavito53 · 10-02-2007, 03:45 PM

My first Zune is set to arrive on Thursday, I am trying to get everything set up ahead of time as I have two different computers that I will syncing with, home and laptop, any advice?

Hopefully you didn't want a flash Zune or 80GB harddrive Zune...

I suggest looking into the 'Guest Hack' in the hacks and mods section to avoid some hassle with multi-computer syncing.

now you return it and wait for the new ones.

yeah, return it, wait till next month(save $50 in the mean time) and buy the $250 80gb v2.

nah..dont return it..once the firmware is updated the interface will look like the new zunes. As far as the whole syncing thing....yeah i say download the zune software and ORGANIZE...It is kind of a hassle but worth it if you enjoy correctly labeled artists, albums songs etc....It makes going through the zune alot easier if you wanna find a specific song album etc...And as for the two computer thing..get the guest hack?

I'd return it and wait for the news if for no other reason than aesthetics.

Oh come on Nurta, those are like, the two best Zunes currently out on store shelves.

And all he should do is get ready his folders that are monitored. Then he can start syncing instantly.
