Use the method that works easier for you and that you trust and understand! The way I did it does use the files directly from Microsoft and gives you full control, but it's overly complex for regular folks for as long as the server exists as a mirror. The simplest way to update today is to point to 's IP address in your hosts file. IMPORTANT UPDATE: After I spent time doing this out I found out on Twitter that there's a small but active Zune community on Reddit! Props for them to doing this in several ways as well. Isn't Zune dead? I hooked up a 3D0 to my 4k flatscreen last week, so it's dead when I say it's dead. Hasn't been touched.but it has a super old non-metro UI firmware.Ĭan a Zune be updated in 2019? Surely it can. I could get him an iPod Touch or something but he digs retro things (GBC, GBA, etc) so my buddy gave me a Zune in the box. He's got a little cheap no-name brand MP3 player and he's filled it up and basically outgrown it. Seriously, though, I got this Zune and it's going to be used by my 11 year old because I don't want him to have a phone yet. The Zune is a deeply under-respected piece of history and its UI marked the start of Microsoft's fluent design.

) There's even an article on Vice about the Zune diehards. As I said on social media today, it's 2019 and I'm updating the Firmware on a Zune, fight me.
