Zune Software is unfortunately crippled in Australia, missing some of the US-based features that make it great. A reader of techAU has worked out a registry hack to re-enable some of these features – thanks Matt.
The Zune hack will re-enable
· Social
· Smart DJ
· Podcast Marketplace
· Music
Here’s what you do, open Regedit and navigate to HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftZune, create a Key called FeaturesOverride. Within this key, create a DWORD for each feature you want to enable and set its value to 1 to the following:
· Social
· QuickMixLocal
· Podcasts
· Music (enables the menu item, but content is locked out)
