Back on topic... I've downloaded the Mac version of Songbird. I'll check it out on my MBP tomorrow. I'm interested to see what this is all about.




Edit: I don't actually have a Zune player, but I know you have to use the Zune software with it. Whether or not you can bypass it with just some kind of Zune plugin for Windows Media Player or not, I don't know. I do know you can't use a 3rd party solution, though.
Logitech provides all the codes for your devices used in the harmony, besides it's not a HUGELY common item.

HP drivers? Duh.. That's not really at issue.

Who uses a Zune? But sounds like Microsoft doesn't have an issue with third party software used with the Zune, but no one has developed anything.

Apple actively tries to block third party software for managing the iPod/iPhone. I realize you're an Apple guy, but they're still evil.
