Trixter of the Moon CouncilFinally found my old Zune HD last night but now I can’t find where the charging cable ended up during the move. 😭
Aw shit y’all it’s ON
I don’t actually run Windows on anything anymore — I picked up an iPod as my retro player last year because I’ve fully moved to Mac with some Linux on the side — so this is going to be an *adventure*.
Huh, it looks like it has pretty much my entire music collection circa 2010 on it, I might not even need to bother syncing it with anything.
Apparently the best music transfer application to get mp3s from MacOS to the Zune right now is called "Android File Transfer for Linux" and you know what, that's it, I'm going home
So now I'm torn between using my old Zune HD or the iPod Nano 2nd Gen I picked up last year as my EDC retro player. The Zune is the superior device in every way except actually getting music onto it now that I've completely migrated away from Windows. Is it worth maintaining a Windows 7 VM and manually converting anything I want to transfer from ALAC to MP3? ...Maybe it is?
NikT@trixter that's amazing and it is totally worth keeping the Win7 VM around for that killer Zune UI.
What headphones do you use with them?
@NikT I’ve got some little Moondrop Quarks that I keep in my bag for when I need wired ones (I have an Analogue Pocket, too). I also have some Beats Studio Pros but I can’t get away with wearing big over-ears at work.
