Alright. I know, peripherals is a big word.\u00a0 Thank you Websters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d given up on my crusade against being able to play songs on my device while it is plugged into my machine.\u00a0 I store my music there for a reason, so I can listen to it.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to sync it to the machine I happen to be on at the time.\u00a0 Do I mind installing the Zune software on every machine I sit at?<\/p>\n

FUCK NO!!!<\/p>\n

I love the Zune software!\u00a0 It is well beyond that iTunes in its third iteration of it, and half the fucking size!\u00a0 Why would I care about installing it?<\/p>\n

Right, ok.<\/p>\n

@gusadelic<\/a>, my roommate, had purchased the V1 A\/V Zune Dock for cheap, and the remote wasn\u2019t working.\u00a0 So I started looking things up about the Zune 80GB and whether there was incompatibility with the V1 Dock.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t, but in my adventure across the intarweb, I ran across something that sent me over the fucking top.<\/p>\n

In random comment thread off of a blog, they were looking at the sync cable used to power the device on the V1 Dock as being an issue.\u00a0 Someone asked if they had an xbox, and whether it worked when they plugged it into this?<\/p>\n

?~~ PLUGGED IT INTO MY XBOX ~~?<\/p>\n

Wait a moment, that\u2019s pretty fucking sweet.\u00a0 I can sync music from my Zune\/Zune Pass and play it?\u00a0 Why not just do that?\u00a0 I do have space issues on the xbox, but shit, syncing music to device to play? Fucking sweet.<\/p>\n

Being a geek, I tested this.\u00a0 What I found made me want to go ooooOwah-ah-ah(Stupify<\/a>) on the planet.<\/p>\n

What happened to Earth? Flux killed it.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s good at that. Yeah, fucking bastard.<\/p>\n

YOU CAN PLAY SONGS DIRECTLY OFF OF THE DEVICE ON YOUR XBOX!!!\u00a0 I know, I know.\u00a0 Dude, you could have said that at the top of the blog.\u00a0 Fuck you, I am pissed.\u00a0 Here I thought it was a licensing thing, etc, etc, etc.\u00a0 I\u2019d made a hundred and one excuses for this.\u00a0 You make the console, the device and the OS. MAKE THIS WORK IN WINDOWS ZUNE TEAM!!!\u00a0 This has been something from Day 1 that you can do with an iPod and extremely frustrating that songs are not allowed to play directly off of the device, on the machine.\u00a0 So, so, so fucking broken.\u00a0 Also, the purchased video does not appear to play at all via the device to TV from the xbox either.<\/p>\n

Bull \u2013 fucking – shit.<\/p>\n

This is definitely a problem for me, obviously, but I do not see the point to have all my music stored in three places.\u00a0 Why do I have it in three places?\u00a0 Simple.\u00a0 I have my main library, a backup and everything on the Zune.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t have to keep a main library if I could just play the damn music right off the device.\u00a0 Anyway, this is bullshit.<\/p>\n

Peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
