Others administer modifications on their Zunes that push the hardware well past what it was capable of in ; like retrofitting an imaginary future where the Zune was not only still around but dominant. Someone else flaunts the wireless charging adapter they added to an ancient Zune One frequent contributor to the forum, year-old Erick Leach, reminds me that, in its heyday, the Zune came equipped with a fairly robust social media appendage: Zune owners could send songs to each other wirelessly and unlock Xbox Live-like achievements for the music they listened to — both novel features in the mids.

The brand never managed to muster the cultural ubiquity of the iPod Apple attempted its own failed social network, Ping, around the same time , but with that emphasis on community, perhaps it was inevitable for the Zune to eventually mount a cult-like fandom. He always felt like there was a massive nation of Zune-heads out there who he would surely meet someday.

Leach believes the Zune has aged better than people might think. Simply and effectively. The Zune Marketplace offered a genuine streaming subscription — long before that became the dominant way people consumed music — which never caught on.

Woods tells me that solidarity among Zuners has never been stronger. He finds even more thrills in this strange afterlife, as the years have eroded away everyone except for the zealots. He can scour the earth in search of every last scrap of Zune memorabilia with the confidence that there will be an audience willing to upvote his efforts indefinitely.

He can strap an absurdly huge SSD on the motherboard, ensuring that it will never be replaced. He can post a Zune-stamped coaster, rescued from the deep recesses of the Microsoft trash pile, and trust that his friends will treat the discovery like the Holy Grail. About Newsletter. Hosting By.

Dmytro Rudenko. I remember putting Rockbox instead of official iPod software. I hated iTunes from Apple. Don't know whether there is Rockbox for Zune but if yes then I would recommend using it.

Really great alternative firmware with a lot other features. I use nowadays only smartphone but I remember great times having Clickwheel on my iPod Mini :. Bernard Vander Beken. Noice work! I will say I have an OG zune still kicking it too. I did a bake off blind test a few years back and compared a multitude of phones and mp3 players with some bose headphones.

Everyone said the OG zune was 1 in sound quality. Your son will have some good sound quality. Adam Schildmeyer. Easy and no additional software.

Heath Stewart. Good stuff. I still use my Zune. I bought it when the large hard drive version came out and it still works just fine. What's crazy is that the Zune desktop software hasn't been updated in a decade?

Timothy Lee Russell. Had to follow a similar procedure last winter, when the air is drier than during summer, and static electricity became a problem. Static electricity sparks would cause my Zune to spontaneously reset after touching it and I'd feel and see a spark zapping it.
