For the first time since I upgraded from Win 7 32 bit to 64 bit earlier this year I wanted to add more songs and videos to my Zune player. Turns out the drivers are not 64 bit compatible. So as usual I go to google for help. Click on all the websites claiming they have the fix or newer drivers. And as usual, most of those sites are garbage from people that don't know what they are talking about or their fixes work for one or two people but not the rest of us. I gave up after about 30 or 40 minutes of reading and trying fixes. No luck. So just like other compatibility issues I had after upgrading, I'm stuck with a half empty Zune player.

Zune? Until this moment I never heard of it.
I use DuckDuckGo for my searches.

This was the latest Zune version; also, supposedly, working for Windows 7.
If you have not tried it, it may work for you.
MusicBee can search through your comp and load all music files

it may be a suitable alternative.

Thanks, but..
I installed that driver. It works for some but not most others.
The second link would do no good because the player is not being seen by the computer because of no working driver for it.

I was about to uninstall the latest driver and install the next one back. I plugged the player into the USB port so that it would pop up in Device Manager and I would update the driver. Lo and behold, the zune now connects as it should. Don't know why, don't care. I'm going to transfer a boatload of stuff right now before something else goofy happens.

Gimme a break. This time last year I was still running Vista and didn't own a cell phone. Now I'm running win7 64bit and a few weeks ago I bought my first cell phone for 5 bucks. No sim card in it. I use it for 911 calls only. I know who RunDMC is. I'm hip wid it man.
