Jason Dunn over at Zune Thoughts has prepared an awesome video tutorial on how to set up the Zune Software to find your videos. Check it out...

I don't endorse this, but hey... This guys provides us with 2 videos detailing how to remove the 30gb drive and replace it with a 60gb model.

As a webmaster and an owner of a Zune forum, I can't stand flash based Zune Cards. Whenever I open up a thread, my browser crashes from 15 Zune Cards open at once (okay, maybe I do need to upgrade my computer). Well, there is good news for me and other budget computer Zuners! MyGamerCard now has support for Zune Cards, and it's easy to use!

Your Zune Card can be generated at http://card.mygamercard.net/apps/zune/YOURZUNEID.png but don't forget to replace the red font with YOUR real Zune ID!

With the image based cards, you will not get any fancy interactive animations and features-- but they do load much faster!

I found this little nugget browsing around for Zune news... It's a great tip for those of you that have podcast folders in iTunes and are unhappy with the Zune Podcast actions in the software.

Step 1: Unsubscribe from all of your Podcasts on the Zune Software. This will stop your Zune software from downloading new episodes when they are released. iTunes will do this for you from now on.

Step 2: Find your iTunes media folder

1. Open iTunes
2. From the Edit menu select Preferences
3. Click the “Advanced� tab

Your media folder is listed where it states “iTunes Music folder location� Remember this location

Step 3: Change your media folder in Zune Software

1. Open up your Zune Software.
2. Select Settings > General
3. Click the “Change Folder� button and point to the media folder you pulled from iTunes in the previous step.
4. Save your settings

Earlier I posted that I was unhappy about not being able to use my original Zune Dock Cradle with the Zune 80. Well I got a comment from Keith that the folks over at Zune Scene had a suggestion in their forums.

1. Pull on the silver cover of the top of the circular dock.
2. Stick a pin or paper clip underneath and move it around the outside perimeter of the dock.
3. The silver cover should be loose and should come off.
4. With the removal of this facade, there should now be enough room to dock your Zune 80!

Well, I had already taken apart my cradle, but didn't think to try to dock it with the top layer of the cradle off. This guy did and it works!

Read on to see photos of this great find. Thanks Keith.
