Microsoft updated the Zune Software Today to get ready for the spring update. Included in it are things like Drivers for the Zune Phone, and a little known support for AVI files. Microsoft said it would be doing this later this spring.
The Catch: You can open the file in the software and view it in the collection, but at least as of now you have to convert it to sync to any device.
I assume this means we will just see a firmware update later this spring for the Zune HD to open it up to AVI files and add smart DJ. I’m still waiting on that Facebook app though…
Update: The playlist icons have been changed to black per user request as they were to bright in the pin menus on the Zune HD.

[...] Sadly still no support for .avi on the device side of things but until that comes later this spring you’ll be able to have the Zune software convert movies to wmv or mp4 and then sync them over. Check out the details at Josh’s blog t03.us [...]
