// Features

Zune for Everyone

A C library and native application for full Zune device sync, built from the ground up with MTPz protocol support.

Music Sync

Full library sync with playlist support, metadata handling, and format conversion. Your music, on your Zune, without the hassle.

Video & Photos

Transfer video and photo content with native format conversion. Queue episodes, sync movies, load up your photo library.

MTPz Auth

MTPZ authentication lets the app communicate with your Zune. Source builders can get the authentication data from the original libmtp-zune project.

Device Driver

Linux uses libusb with desktop USB permission rules. The separate macOS project uses a DriverKit extension for device access.

Community Built

By and for the Zune community. Contribute code, test devices, share knowledge. Let's keep these devices alive together.
