Zune on a Macbook?

December 19, 2010 2:03 AM

Help! I had a Zune. Then I got a Mac. What do I do now?

Seriously, I really hate being caught in the middle of the market war between microsoft and apple. I just want to get some songs from my macbook onto my zune!
It's a zune 3gen, so zAlternator doesn't work, and I'm having trouble running windows-emulating programs on my macbook (and I'd like something that won't take me two days).

You presumably had windows on a PC before? If the licence allows, you can wipe the copy of windows off your PC and then dual boot windows and OSX on your mac using Bootcamp.

Or use VMFusion and avoid the dual boot.

Oh man, I hate to be this guy, but I think the answer is "get an iPod."

Do you have maybe a friend with a Windows laptop you can borrow?

Response by poster: awesomebrad, don't have the money to get a new mp3 right now.

green with you, yeah, I can use a friend's PC, and I've thought about that option. It's just a pain to have to burn all my music onto CDs to get it to my friends computer and from there to my zune, but I guess it's the easiest option there is.
