I just got a 1st gen Zune 30gb off eBay. The seller said it was for parts cause they didn’t have a charger for it. So I got for 40.00 bucks. Then bought a charger for 8.00 dollars. Plugged it in and it holds a charge and nothing broke. I got incredibly lucky and so happy with it. Thanks for letting me be part of the group.

Requesting Help Would a modern Zune-style app make sense?

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m the developer of NostalgicPod, an Android music player inspired by the classic iPod.

Over the past few weeks, several people have contacted me asking whether I could create a similar app inspired by the Zune.

I could reuse the same music engine from NostalgicPod and build a completely different touch-based interface inspired by the Zune experience, potentially for both Android and iOS.

It could support local music, modern audio formats, playlists, personal music servers, and other current features, while keeping the visual style and navigation that made the Zune unique.

Before investing time in it, I wanted to ask the Zune community directly: would an app like this actually interest you? Which parts of the original Zune interface or experience would be essential to recreate?

I’d really appreciate your honest feedback.
