How do I move music off my Zune and onto my PC

Question

My computer crashed and had to be restore to factory setting, taking my entire music collection with it. All my songs are on my Zune & I would like to transfer them back onto my hard drive, but I can't figure out how to do that. Is there any kind of hack or software I can download so that I can move my music?

Answer 1

Reinstall the Zune program. Follow the onscreen prompts. When it asks if you want to set up your monitored folder select the option that will let you set them up later.

You should be able to do the next part withour fear that your stuff will get deleted. If you are still concerned that your stuff will get deleted then when you connect your Zune click on device>status and click cancel sync if it starts to sync. Then click on device>music OR videos OR pictures. Select your files and right click. Select copy to collection. Do that for all of the categories on your Zune. To find out where they have been copied to on your computer in the Zune program click on software>settings>collection. Scroll down to Zune folders. That should show you where the collection is stored.
