The Zune hacking continues, and now an enterprising coder almost has it running on his Mac. The XNJB software he used is not quite able to transfer files to or from the Zune yet, but so far it’s able to recognize Microsoft’s player and display its file structure. It’s a start, and it even works with Zune’s updated firmware, now at version 1.1. Here you can see it running on his toilet seat-like orange iMac iBook.

Take a look at his screenshots and gauge the degree of his success.

Here you can see the software is able to determine the battery level, disk size, and amount of data on the disk and remaining space.

The iMac connects to the Zune smoothly and even downloads its track list, but balks when trying to upload a track.
