Lord Thag Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have a Zune and love it. The screen is fantastic, and better than the ipod, in my opinion (I've owned both). The Zune doesn't sync with WMP directly, but the Zune software will access your library, so it's kind of a moot point. I generally just rip my DVDs, convert them, and sync them over. One of the *really* cool eatures no one knows about is the ability for the Zune software to act as a music/video server for your 360. Yeah, you heard me. You can access your PC from the 360 media tab and stream music and VIDEO directly to your tv from your pc with the software (even if you don't actually have an actual Zune player). It's awesome. You can watch any video on your living room TV off of your PC, including youtube videos, downloaded stuff. It's pretty great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Are they ever going to release this thing outside America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also do this with Windows Media Connect and Windows Media Player 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) One of the *really* cool eatures no one knows about is the ability for the Zune software to act as a music/video server for your 360. Yeah, you heard me. I think it's *really* cool also, but I've known about it for some time... http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...59 Doesn't seem like many people are interested in the feature though. Me personally, I love it. This Christmas when I had my family over, I would stream Xmas music through the 360 and had a looping Hi-Def slideshow of various Christmas images playing on the TV. I found most of the images online for free. Like this site which can be downloaded in widescreen: http://www.deniscarl.com/forum/index.php Needless to say I had a couple family members asking me how I did that and how cool it was.

Lord Helmet Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I stream both audio and video to my 360. Great feature. The 360 is the center of my living room entertainment system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yeah, I love it for all of those hilarious youtube videos. Showing a group of people 'Hitler gets banned from xbox live' on a 42' TV is worth the price of admission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
