Reverse Sync saved my life

Mezo · 09-28-2008, 09:53 PM

Ok, so I had a problem. Last weekend, after installing the antivirus BitDefender, my computer crashed. Upon realizing I can re-set it up to it's factories defaults with a backup program built into it, it made me happy. But then I realized. I had over 500 CDs I had put on the hard-drive that crashed (luckally the partitioned second hard-drive saved some of my files). But I had a backup (I'm not that stupid to just dump all my music and trust a computer), on an external hard-drive...That my sister is using for music as well...Up in Tennessee. So, here I am, stuck without any music, videos, or anything I had on my computer. But wait! I do have a Zune! And UNLIKE Itunes, Zune has REVERSE SYNC! So, basically, my external was with me all the time! So now, all I had to do was plug it in, put it as a guest (handy feature for adding new music from other Zunes), and there I was. All my media (except for maybe a couple youtube videos...) is back on my computer. Making me a happy boy.

Thanks Zune for reverse sync! (beat that Apple!)

Good to see you managed to save your music collection.

May you have many happy days with your Zune!

To be honest, this was a blog post of mine. I thought it would apply here as well

Wooord this saved me too XDDD

My computer crashes A LOT so I always use my Zune as like a carrier for all my music, videos and photos ^^ Isn't it convenient
