Hacked Zune to work with iTunes - What about our MEIZU's FW ;)

Hi folks!

I just noticed a nice post over at the guys of Engadget. As it seems some hackers managed to tweak the Zune FW a little bit so the device now works seamlessly with iTunes.

Anyone skilled enough to take the task on the M6's FW?

I don't think that anyone cares about iTunes...

Isn't there software that lets you use standard USB MP3 players in iTunes? There was anyway.

Maybe Windows users don't (actually I already expected this response) but for the Macies out there it would come in very handy... Well I know there are almost none of them around in our forum so I'll be raising this flag alone. *haha*

I know this isn't a realistic thing for the M6 so far but I still liked the idea...

For the people who want it I agree with what Err0r said. Every drag-drop mp3-player should be the same right? It would be much more practical to make a hacked itunes-version or something that accepts everything :P

On the other hand i'm not really feeling a urge to use iTunes.

Yes there is. It is called "SyncTunes". I hear from several people though that it is quite difficult as far as impossible to mount your MEIZU Player. I for myself didn't get it to work on Leopard 10.5.1 so far. The problem seems to be that the M6 has different names in the Finder and as a UNIX mount point. So this workaround is a dead end atm...

For those who still want to try: Grab the software here! (Mac)

Right... there are other similar projects for Mac out too (Thrupp or iPodless) but it's always oldschool playlist syncing which gets a bit on my nerves. I would want a full sync support. Otherwise I prefer to fill the storage by hand.
