How I Built a Super Microsoft Zune - Bluetooth + SSD + Battery + Qi Charging

The Microsoft Zune was a short-lived challenger to the Apple iPod. In this video, I will be giving my old 30 GB Zune a second chance. Please enjoy a tribute to one of my favorite YouTubers @DankPods in the introduction of this video. I wanted to see how many mods would fit inside my old MP3 Player. This modded Zune has a huge battery, a 128 GB SSD, Wireless (Qi) charging and even Bluetooth Audio! Upgrading the Zune was a lot of fun.
