So, it seems likely that the Zune will never get an official portable LOD cable.

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

I recently sent an email to Microsoft's Product Proposal Headquarters, inquiring as to why they hadn't yet produced a LO cable for all Zune's and when they may produce one in the future.

 

This is the response I get -

RAGE, its a real shame they decided to cut-off the ZuneFamily and not continue to produce successive products, even if they didnt continue to make PMP/DAP's it would have been nice if they'd continue to support their existing products. I dont think that the underlined text will ever happen.

Didn't Microsoft discontinue the Zune?

I wouldn't expect any new products. Though I'm not a Microsoft fan, I did think the HD was a nice piece of hardware. Shame Microsoft threw in the towel.

You can get an LOD on eBay for the older 4/8gb (flash) and 30gb (HD) Zunes for under $20. 

 

But I assume you are looking for one for the newer HD models?

Yes, they did discontinue Zune hardware, It's just a shame they didnt produce just this one product.

I've had the same Zune for like 4 years. Best portable I've used this far. It's a shame the d/c'ed them but business is business.

 

I could do an LOD but the darn thing needs 5v power to be able to shoot a line-out signal, at least for the old 30gb I have.
