Inside the Zune/USB Protocol: Part 4


Here are the folder and device properties specifically for my Zune, plus its supported filetypes. I'm guessing the Sync partner is the one computer that my Zune hosts to. Biff is the meta-syntactic name I selected as my Zune ID. The Bytes/Free bytes are accurate. The Battery level seems low as it reads as fully charged on the device and has been plugged in for over 24 hours. When I mount the Zune on my PC, the disk name is indeed "Storage".

The native playback is also interesting. I've found that I can sneak around bitrate limitations imposed by the Zune software, but more about that another day.

Note that the handles for the 'special directories' are instance dependent. So on different devices or if you format your player, you might get different handles.
