<h4>Have a Zune Pass and an HD2 running Android?  Use your Zune pass music on Android.</h4>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For some time now I have had a Zune Music Pass.&nbsp;&nbsp;I also have an HD2 which I love for its flexibility and power.&nbsp;&nbsp;For the value of the two I really can't complain.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm not big on having multiple gadgets on me if I can help it.&nbsp;&nbsp;So I was ecstatic when I figured out how to sync my Zune Pass DRM'd music with my HD2 running Windows Mobile 6.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;With WinPh7, there is an app for that.  Getting it working on your WinMob6.5 is really just as easy.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll start with that and move on to the Android part.<br />
<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have a HD2, surprise, you can sync your Zune Pass music with it.&nbsp;&nbsp;First, connect the device to your computer.&nbsp;&nbsp;I prefer the USB cable.&nbsp;&nbsp;Make sure the Mobile Device Center loads up and connects to the HD2.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Open up Windows Media Player.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the right hand side, click on the Sync Tab.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here you should see your device listed.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can now drag and drop your songs from your library to sync with your device.&nbsp;&nbsp;As long as your DRM rights are up to date, the music will continue to sync and play on your HD2 in Windows Media Player Mobile.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, it is really that easy.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now the really cool part I discovered by accident.&nbsp;&nbsp;I run an Android based ROM on my HD2.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you want to do this as well, please just run a search and you will find multiple articles on the subject.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just by chance, I was listening to music on my HD2 via the Android Music player.&nbsp;&nbsp;As it played, I realized these were songs under my Zune subscription.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, I found that, as long as the DRM is valid, even the Android Music Player will play your Zune Pass music.&nbsp;&nbsp;Kind of a round about way to do it, but it has worked for me.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope that helps someone out there.<br />
