Purple and Yellow Zune in the future? Print E-mail
Written by Kostas Tzounopoulos   
Thursday, 28 December 2006
Holidays is a good season to see friends, visit relatives, dig Zune Software's DLL files for new features. ViPER is doing the last one: Purple and Yellow Zune, Minimode, Video Acceleration, Pixel Aspect Ratio, Podcasts and Lyrics could be the next steps for Microsoft...

I decided to use this program called resource hacker that lets you open .dlls and .exes to find and edit things. I found some possibly new features that might be enabled in future updates or we may be able to enable them. Some things i found were

  1. Minimode (Like in the 1 for WMP i guess)
  2. Video Acceleration (Im not sure if this is new or if its already there)
  3. New Plug In Feature?
  4. Pixel Aspect Ratio
  5. Podcasts From Zune Software or just subscribing to them.
  6. Sync Lyrics to zune?
  7. A purple and yellow zune icon (Might be new future zune colors)

Nice work ViPER, its good to know what to expect!

I think most of those are holdovers from Windows Media Player. I would imagine they ran a find-and-replace script to change all instances of the phrase Windows Media Player to Zune, and they just didn't remove the mini player or lyrics (longtime WMP stalwarts, the latter of which has never really worked anyway and is pretty much useless). I'm not sure why they removed mini player, but oh well.
