+Microsoft's Zune works only with Windows XP, so what to do if you're a Mac or Linux user? Well of course you could always just choose a different MP3 player, but if you really want a Zune to work with your Mac, there may be hope on the horizon.
+Zune Microsoft's [Media Transfer Protocol][3], but thanks to libmtp, a free open source library available for Mac and Linux which implements the MS protocol, you should be able to see your Zune in other OSes.
+If you'd like to be able to see your Zune on your Mac, grab a copy of WentNet’s open-source program [XNJB][1] (it's free), which leverages libmtp, and you should be able to view your Zune songs.
+XNJB was written to support Creative Nomad MP3 players, but some users have reported that they can read the Zune drive and see their music libraries from from a Mac using XNJB. So far no one has been able to transfer songs though. The problem with transferring is that Zune apparently refuses to transfer files with unknown hosts.
+Zune may not actually work with other OSes yet, but I have no doubt that someday soon someone will figure out how to make it work.
+If you're interested have a look at [this thread in the Zunescene.com forums][2].
