BeSpoke & Zune/other aux devices

[artizhay]

Has anyone found a solution for this yet, as far as connecting aux-only devices (3.5mm jack only, no USB) or non-mass-storage devices like the Zune?

My FR-S came with BeSpoke and seeing as how it was one of the only, if not the only, firestorms in the area, I wasn't about to say no, but I'm really missing being able to play the Zune.

I'd like to be able to connect via aux or USB, but I'm thinking of trying a Bluetooth adapter since I don't see any reason that wouldn't work. Eliminates cables, but I don't want to have to rely on the battery of a Bluetooth device on top of the battery of my Zune.

Anyone know if any updates are coming or have any other potential solutions to this problem?

Wait, why can't you already connect via USB or Aux?

The aux jack turns into a dedicated iOS input for the BeSpoke app, so no aux devices can be used, but they can be used on the standard head unit.

Been looking all over the net for ways to convert the Zune to a regular storage device so the head unit can read the files via USB, but no luck so far. So far the only plausible solution is a Bluetooth audio transmitter, so I've ordered one of those to try it out.

Hmmm, I didn't know that! Perhaps you can just pick up a cheap USB Drive and use that instead of your Zune?

Problem is I'm on a Zune subscription for unlimited downloads for a flat rate, meaning all the files are DRM protected. So just putting all my non-DRM files on a USB would cut my collection down by about 90%, plus I'd lose all the Zune functionality and playlists, etc.
