Yet, when you set an image as a background, the Zune will rotate it anyway it wants - THAT’S annoying. Any fix for that?

Awesome, didn’t know that. I had intentions to resize my photos but now I see i don’t need to.

[…] of a Did You Know, but still good stuff either way. This one comes from Mike over at ZuneInfo.com… The Microsoft Zune allows users to upload thousands of photos. What many new Zune users […]

Actually, this is incorrect.

The size it is converted to is 640px X 480px usually. You can tell by putting a large wallpaper (desktop wallpaper) onto your Zune. You can then zoom in, to double size, which is actually the full size image. This is twice the width and height of the zune screen (in pixels) and is therefore 640px X 480px.

Also, on the Zune.net site, it clearly states that the size converted is a max of 640px X 480px.

hmmmm… actually… this is not a great feature, but a terrible flaw!! i DONT WANT the zune to resize my photos down to such low resolution. I want to be able to put a 5 megapixel image on there, I mean, after all, it has 80 friggin GBs of storage. I want to put a big picture and zoom in to it many times, so I can see as much of detail as I desire. instead, it resizes it to 640×480 which totally blows. the zune is designed for lazy idiots who can’t handle and extra step… i on the other hand want the option of either making it small or keeping it full size. i want more options, not less!

I have a new 30 GB Zune and I thought that when you rotate the picture orientation would change. Am I wrong? I can’t seem to find it.

How do I load images to my Zune.

If you want to load pictures in which you can zoom in on a booger, then use the “external USB drive” hack to unlock the full use of the Zune hard drive. Copy your picks like you would if you were using a USB thumbdrive and skip the conversion all-together.
