Computer Geek needed
« on: October 30, 2007, 08:14:00 PM »
Let's see if this makes sense to anyone:

I own a Zune, the mp3 player made by Microsoft. My computer is currently running Ubuntu (Linux) I want to move mp3s from my computer onto my Zune, but I can't install the Windows .exe files needed for the interface, because I am running Linux.

Anybody got any ideas?

Try WINE that will allow you to create a Windows like vitural PC than you can install Windows Media player.......

Yeah, I think WINE would be my suggestion, too. If not that, isn't there a winamp-like player for Linux that could interface with the zune?

Yep, WINE was going to be my suggestion also.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
