2/10 WOULD NOT INGEST

on: April 28, 2007, 06:59:53 AM

I stopped short of installing Zune on my PC.  Scary!  I do realized that this anecdote is from Killjoy, but it ate his computer.  He's a special guy, but I wanted to get a feel for how real people have fared if anyone has tried this.  It makes perfect sense because my PC has over 700GB of storage and my 360 has, what, a 5gb disk?

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Is there something wrong with Windows Media Player 11? Also the HD is 20 GB.

If you don't like WMP11 then Windows Media Connect will also work.  All my music and video is stored on a small ITX based server and WMP 11 would just use to many resources so I use WMC without any problems.

Realistically it's ~15.  5 is reserved for the OS and sundries.

I've got the Zune software on 3 different PC's.  None eaten.  It's pretty good.

Windows Media Player 11 crushed watching video clips in browsers.  I can watch 3 seconds, then it stops.  Uninstall didn't help.  I had to wipe.  WMP11 also wont play many of your old MP3s, quoting DRM beef or something. 

I just stream music from My Documents\My Music through my 360.  It works fine.  Sometimes I don't even know what the game's soundtrack sounds like.

oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer

I just went to the link that the Xbox gave me and it led me to a Zune install.  The posts so far lead me to believe that Zune would be good, mainly Driakos'.  I don't have WMP11 installed now.  But WMC appeals to the minimalist in me.

I was sort of joking about the drive, but you end up with 10GB free if mine is any indication.

The standalone WMC you'll have to search around for because MS no longer provides a download to it since its functionality put into WMP 11 and MS wants people to use it (cause you know, more DRM stuff) and Vista has it included.

I guess I should have read my own link.  It's also hosted here:  http://tinyurl.com/38wl57

I was kind of annoyed that they didn't indicate anywhere on the site that you could just use WMP11.

It has worked so well for me that I have retired my cd player and just do the streaming.  It was a bit clunky to get going with setting up the folder sharing and the poor WMP interface (to create the playlists) but it does work well once set up.
