Music Man ? http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15827/music-man
If I recall, the Zune plays MP3 ? If yes, then convert the music to MP3.

Makes sense due to no Mac support on the zoune.
Would VLC do It?
Thanks for clicking.

Re: convert for zunes
As with every other piece of free software out there, the best place to download it from is directly from their website.

Re: convert for zunes
What about iTunes? I know it does some conversions. However you have to set the preference to mp3 otherwise it'll convert them to acc files by default.

She wasn't the one who bought it, or didn't you read the OP?
I second using iTunes for the conversion. Just highlight everything, hit convert to MP3. Your video files...I'm guessing could be done in quicktime maybe, I'm not sure though.
Alright, now, who wants to be transistorized?
