Amazon.com Unbox and Zune
Why, oh why, do the mobile files (which are in .wmv format) from Amazon.com’s Unbox download service, not work on the Microsoft Zune?
You can view the mobile files in the Zune PC software and in Windows Media Player/Center, but it won’t transfer or play on the Zune.
Crazy stuff.
Amazon.com’s Unbox application gives you this URL when you try to find out why…

Yep — the Zune is not listed.
Amazon.com’s mobile files don’t automatically show up in the Zune software Video catalog, either. And, when you try to synch a mobile file from Amazon.com, the Zune software says it’s an invalid media type.
Frustrating.
