If you want to connect a Zune to a computer that is not its home zone you receive a popup asking if you want to connect the Zune as a guest or “sync with your library on this pc.” The second option would remove all content on the Zune and sync it with the library on the new computer. I suppose this is another feature to please the Music Industry by making it harder to add music from your friends computer to your own Zune. This spells troubles. Imagine if you have purchase a new pc or something gets messed up on your old computer.
A user from Zuneboards created a hack to bypass guest syncing. Just download the following file and place it in the Zune directory which is usually program files \ zune and run it from there. Et voila, no more guest syncing when you connect a different Zune to your computer / your Zune to another computer.
