My friend, Shane, via twitter has made available the first useable #zunetune playlist for the Zune Software.

To use it:

Step #1:
Save this file to your playlists directory folder and open up the Zune Software.



But where is the playlists folder exactly? Open up your music folder, find the Zune folder and open that. Then find the playlists folder and open that. Save the above file in that location. :-)

Step #2:
When you go into Playlists, in the software, you should see it listed there. You'll then be able to check out all of the music that has been submitted via #zunetune. Actually let me say that again: You'll be able to listen to the songs that have been submitted for #zunetune, but only those have been submitted properly. :-)

What makes this so special is that #zunetune is a user-generated playlist. All of the songs listed have been suggested by me, Shane, members of the zune team and folks who have been following the project on Twitter. Every single song has been generated by YOU and people like you. So go check it out and see if you make any new musical discoveries.
