How to Transfer a Zune to a New Computer
Many portable media players, like the Zune, update their content based on the files you download to the player from your computer. When you get a new computer, the old content must be transferred to the new computer. Zune allows users to reverse sync their device content. Reverse sync will download files from the player to the new computer and will update the Zune software collection, or library. This is especially helpful if you want to enjoy the content on your computer or just back up your Zune collection.
