Support NeoGAF

So, is there any way to play Zune DRM files on wp8 devices?

I remember asking that question before I bought my phone and I thought the answer was yes, but I can't get them to play.

I bet the new OT is going to have its own version of Kid's Corner and at least 10 features we haven't seen yet.

Most of the stuff from my Zune subscription plays fine on my WP8.

None of the stuff that I downloaded on Xbox music on my Windows 8 PC works, though. Which is absolutely idiotic. Especially annoying since I matched all my music and downloaded a shit load of it again through Xbox music to get ready and nicely organised for WP8. So imagine my delight when I synced my music collection for the first time and none of the new stuff worked.

I ended up downloading all of that on the phone itself again. Did it at work over the course of a couple of days. A huge pain in the arse, I can't believe they got rid of Zune.

They are still having DRM issues, they are looking into it, doesn't help but it is being investigated.

I copied all my Zune DRM songs onto my WP8. There is an initial "we can't verify" message on my phone when tries to play the song, but I just hit the back button and try again and it works no problem.

Edit: I'm going to continue to download songs using Zune since I still have a Zune HD.

so what will 7.8 mean for Zune and Xbox Music? will 7.8 use Xbox Music as default?

 

[PG2G]

When Microsoft announced Xbox Music I am pretty sure they explicitly said Windows Phone 8. I'd assume Zune will continue on as the sync client for WP 7.X

Living With Lumia - Final Wrap-Up

Mashable's Christina Warren offers her final wrap-up after 12 days of living with the Lumia 920 and Windows Phone 8 instead of iOS and an iPhone 5.

video is 9 minutes long, after about 5 minutes a little voice in my head started saying, "show me dem sweater puppies."

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

So I just reset my phone to factory settings.

And now I reclaimed a lot of previously unaccounted storage. I wonder what happened?

Just tried that and the songs still won't play. My wife owns a 900, so I would prefer to just use Zune for the both of us.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

At least I'm going to enjoy a whopping total of 13 GB free space instead of 4.

weird. Do you have space for another another device? Maybe you have to remove one?

 

[VanMardigan]

Yeah, I removed my old Focus S, but since the software doesn't recognize my phone I can't add it in to my list of devices. Is there any way to add a device to the Zune pass account outside of the software?

 

[Anton Sugar]

Hmm

What about Paint.NET?

Quick bump: I think it would be fun to have some WP GAF home screens in the OP to show off tile sizes. I know some of you posted yours, but instead of assuming it's okay to post them in the OP, can you reply and post yours if you're okay?

 

[VanMardigan]

I'm on my phone, but you can post mine that's just a few pages back

 

[Jallopy]

Question for anyone with an 8X; does it support Lotus Notes Traveler? The 920 spec page says that the Lumia 920 supports it, but can't find anything about the 8X. And yeah, it's a work thing...

Just give me a second to recapture

EDIT:

 

[lastflowers]

I would say you can use mine, but that is weird since I work on the product...so you probably shouldn't. <eyes those shady gaming side OTs>

It's not the pundit that kill Microsoft platform, it's Microsoft that trying their absolute best to kill their owns. They can deny all they want about their inner working and it not true how media report it but you can see in their products. There is no synergy between Windows 8, Windows Phone, Zune, Xbox ... they are just loosely connected by Windows Live ID and that pretty much it.

The guy that use to work for Windows Phone that went to Amazon sum it up best in his blog about the difference between working at Microsoft and working at Amazon. Again, I love Microsoft product but I have absolutely no faith in them at all to pull anything off post-PC era computing. Having critics from the like at the Verge, ZDNet and Engadgets preferring iDevices or Google eco is one thing, but they shitting on their own eco system is no excuse. How is it that a new version of Windows Phone fail to integrate with the new re-launch of their Music service. Can you imagine Apple iPhone 5 not working with iTunes.

The title is certainly sensationalistic, but the article itself brought up some interesting discussion points.

 

[Glorious Ownage]

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a way to set my email to automatically download pictures? I don't like having to take that extra step for every email

I totally disagree, he said comparing Windows Phone to WebOS is unfair, I think its perfectly valid. Only thing Microsoft have that HP/Palm doesn't is the mountain of cash and time, and the latter is running our quick, I would argue it already did since you all think that I am nut to think post-PC computing is set. Android have about 70% percent of market now and the rest belong to Apple with remaining belong to bits player. This is not unlike the late 80's where PC become dominant. Windows Phone is like the Amiga ...and RIM may be the Atari or vice versa.

I don't think so, I think it is that way for privacy, security, and save data usage.

Not that it'll ever be supported by my company but under settings there's an option for company apps which when set up adds a company store hub or something...

Can we please stop using this old thread? Is it so hard to read the title and compare it with the one you posted in 10 minutes ago?
