siric Neophyte Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 4		Add external storage to Zune Hi, I am thinking about buying a Zune 120GB along with the Home A/V pack. Does anyone know if there is any way to add or access an external USB drive from the Zune to virtually increase the 120GB capacity? Thanks

From what I understand, the only thing you can stream is songs from the Zune Marketplace, so really only helpful if you have a Zune Pass. Good thinking, but not available. If you have over 120 GB of data, you'll have to be selective, or buy a Zune Pass and play your music from there. Sorry.
