Use Zune as a hard drive

Bypass WiFi DRM

Ok, that's not a very efficient hack, but it's one that's workable. Disguise songs or movies as an image then send the fake image with a real one for cover.



Wouldn't it be easier just to give someone the files on a CDR?



Anyone have comments?

    Yes, but remember, Windows/MS sole purpose of exsisting is to make people run around the house 50 times before going in through the bathroom window only to fall into the toilet.

    Yes the whole idea of not allowing the Zune to be an external HD is dumb. I for one have not done the hack and won't. Mainly b/c I use my usb HD for transfering large files. I never really used my iPod for this purpse, but can see why people would want too.



    That being said, its just one more thing that M$ failed at when bringing the Zune to the masses. It has some advantages over the iPod (IMO), but fails in some ways.

    And this is why my iPod is a 1Gen Shuffle.

    that's a cool hack. it only makes sense to use your portable music device as a giant usb thumb drive. i think microsoft will _officially_ support this on their upcoming firmware updates.

    It would be nice if the iPod could be used in disk mode on both macs and PCs. Maybe this is possible now: I have no idea. All I know is that I've used my iPod Mini as a disk a few times, usually during times of desperation. It has definitely come in the clutch.

    Only problem... you'd have to actually buy a Zune.

    I believe you can do this. You just have to format the iPod in FAT32. That's the default format if you buy an iPod and use a PC. It's something different if you let your Mac format your iPod.

    That is what I suspected. I'm not too keen on putting FAT on ANYTHING, but I suppose the iPod file structure is reasonably flat and doesn't need much in the way of searching. Maybe I'll try it on the next iPod I get, which will hopefully be the iPhone!
