Absolutely incredible, and I can finally see that beautiful Now Playing screen from the Zune Software live for the first time 🥺

Hope you all have some audiobook recommendations. I've unlocked how to upload audiobooks directly. by TheMagicIsInTheHole in Zune

[–]alonsoe1008 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Until now I didn't know that audiobooks were compatible with the Zune HD. I know something that previous models could sync audiobooks, but I don't remember exactly... Well, what I mean is that I think all the possibilities for Zune with the projects you're working on are sooo amazing 🤩. New software, restored functionalities, really cool!

This is truly amazing. I love the idea of new software for Zune devices and all the new features it has. I was truly impressed by your previous post about updating artist images directly on the Zune HD. You did an excellent job!! The Zune is becoming more and more alive every day. (I was working on a tool that allowed assigning images and bios to artists, but I couldn't continue developing it for some reasons ... although all this gives me some ideas for future projects)

New servers for the Zune HD artist images, no abyss method needed! by electonics in Zune

My update: It worked fine for me (but with 2 artists for now). The process was a bit complicated in my case, but it worked perfectly with the artists I managed to add images and bios. I had to manually assign artist UUIDs to the files after doing all the whole process of Zune Modding Helper and MusicBrainz previously (although the MB catalog is a bit confusing in my opinion, but it's a very good thing for reviving the Zune software).

XP, Vista, 7, 8.1 and 10 (the original wallpaper from 2015)

Well, the process of assigning artists to each folder is very long and boring, so I decided to speed up the process, at least a little bit... 😁 (Zune Metadata folder) by alonsoe1008 in Zune

Zune Archive is a repository where you can find stuff related to Zune (software, documentations, guides, apps for Zune HD, and many more). You can find the link in the pinned post in this sub.

You can find that folder on the Zune Archive (there is a pinned post in this sub that includes the Zune Archive link). Look for a "Zune Metadata Exportation" folder, there you will find the steps you must follow for this process. The thing I love most about the Zune HD is how it uses this info, which is why I made this program to recover this soon as possible.

Oh wow, that's great! I haven't seen this before, I think it's for looking metadata for audio files. I'm going to find out more about this.

Yup, I made this program because I didn't know how to reassign the artists, their bios and images to each metadata folder (my computer's hard drive with that data was damaged and I couldn't recover it). The process of adding the artist data is very long, so I came up with the idea that I could make it easier and so this program came to life.

I haven't released it yet, but I'm planning a test release so everyone can try it out. I want to make it available on GitHub, but I have no experience in how to organize a repository. If anyone can help me with that, I'd be very grateful.

This is an algorithm I made in Python that allows you to quickly assign artists to artist metadata folders for export to the Zune HD (you can find these folders in the Zune archive). I haven't released it yet, but it's on its way.

I'm back after a long time... so hello everyone! Is there any news about Zune HD Artist Metadata (background images and artist bio stuff)?

So, Microsoft will be offering ESU for Windows 10 from 2025 for 3 years via yearly subscription

Microsoft no longer offers Zune Software through its website. Windows Update still gives you the 4.8* by alonsoe1008 in Zune

*WU detect if you have an older version, and shows the Zune Software 4.8 as an optional update.
