Back on the 17th, I posted a quick registry hack for those that wanted to force certain Zune software features on or off. One of my readers inquired, however, about Radio features that seemed to exist but were disabled. Double-checking my previous research, there was nothing available to enable anything related to Radio, so I had to dig deeper.
Before you see Zune’s cute UI, the software has to jump through a number of hoops beforehand. Some of these hoops involve asking the Zune Gods (pictured to the right) if certain features are enabled or disabled. This inquiry is made by calling a special function called IsFeatureEnabled, implemented by a special object returned from Zune’s native (as opposed to managed) library. (This function is one of many that are described by an interface called IFeatureEnablement.)
Why is this important?
While it is true that most of the Zune features were implemented with a “ignore the Gods” override, this isn’t true for the unfinished Radio feature. This feature was marked as permanently disabled, hiding unfinished/unstable code from the public.
Re-enabling this feature isn’t exactly easy.
At first, I was inclined to simply disassemble all the managed code into IL, edit, and re-assemble. This turned into a nightmare involving digital signatures, Steven Sinofsky, and embedded native code (which cannot be disassembled properly). My second idea involving writing a loader that patched the relevant code at runtime fell flat too, due to my inexperience with the whole managed/native mish mash environment. Growing tired, I simply resorted to old school patching-on-disk of the Zune native library.
Zune Function Location 0.1 output
First, I wrote a utility to identify what I need to patch. Static analysis is fun, but not that fun. The Zune Function Locator utility (pictured above) may have a corny name but it does its job. (I plan on further expanding the tool’s capabilities, hence the generic name.) It will locate, within Zune’s native library (ZuneNativeLib.dll), where the IsFeatureEnabled function starts.
Err… why do we care?
Well, as I mentioned before, this function asks the Zune Gods if a feature is enabled or disabled. It returns the “answer” to the Zune software, controlling whether or not the user sees the feature. We’ll need to rewrite this function’s logic to always return “can haz”.
XVI32 Hex Editor w/ ZuneNativeLib.dll open
Second, I opened the library in a disassembler to provide a machine code listing of what’s going on here. The contents weren’t really relevant – I was going to rewrite it.
Third, I opened the library in trusty ol’ XVI32, jumped to the offset my tool spat out earlier, moved a few bytes in and… mashed the keyboard, inputting a bunch of random characters.
No, not really.
I typed in the hexadecimal characters for several assembly opcodes that ensured the feature was always considered enabled. The actual x64 code for this is below:
xor rax, rax
inc rax
mov [r8], al
dec rax
pop rdi
retn
(The x86 code is very similar, therefore I won’t spend two hours trying to format it properly in Windows Live Writer.)
Fourth, I saved everything and fired up Zune. Crossing my fingers, the UI appeared and lo’ and behold the Radio feature appeared.
Zune interface, new Radio feature
As mentioned earlier, the Radio feature is very unpolished and unstable. The baked in stations don’t play or display station graphics, but I’m willing to bet the folks at Zunerama will have it tamed in a few days.
All the resources I used are available for download from either here or the internet. Enjoy your private tinkering, but remember: I’m not responsible if your entire Zune music collection is replaced with Katy Perry albums. Also keep in mind the patched library may inhibit proper servicing (i.e. updating) by Microsoft. YMMV.

TestTrack Pro is a key project management tool for software development teams. By tracking and managing defects, feature requests, change requests, and other work items, TestTrack Pro makes it easy to coordinate activities between team members.
Manage All Development Artifacts
TestTrack Pro is a powerful issue management solution that tracks defects, feature requests, change requests, development assignments, customer issues, and any other tasks or artifacts tracked as part of your development process.
Track Everything About an Issue
TestTrack Pro tracks everything needed to manage an issue, including its details, workflow, known workarounds, related source code changes, email, links to other issues, folders, and its history.
Issue Details - Issue details include who reported the issue, when, the version, a detailed description, how to reproduce it (if it is a defect), and file attachments (such as screen captures). TestTrack Pro can track multiple instances of the same issue.
Workflow - In TestTrack Pro, you can work with an issue's workflow events after they are added to the issue. You can see an overview of where the issue is in the workflow, what events were assigned, who the events were assigned to, and any comments or additional information a user entered.
Workaround - Many defects and feature requests have a way to work around the problem or missing feature. TestTrack Pro includes a field to describe a workaround, which can be shared with tech support, customers, QA, and other engineers.
Source Code - You can integrate most popular source code management (SCM) applications with TestTrack Pro, which allows you to work with records and source code files from within either application. A change made in one application is instantly made available to the other application. All linked source code files are visible on the TestTrack Pro Source Code tab.
Email - To facilitate collaboration, TestTrack Pro includes email tracking and notifications. From any issue, you can work with any email sent about it. You can view, reply to, and delete tracked email. You can also manage a list of users and customers to notify when the issue changes.
Links - TestTrack Pro enables you to link issues to each other in a variety of ways. (As part of TestTrack Studio, TestTrack Pro also lets you link test cases to defects and vice versa to make it easier to understand the context in which the defect occurred.) You can link items in a parent/child relationship or a peer group relationship. You can also set additional parent/child options that restrict the workflow. Your use of linking depends on your organization’s development and testing processes.
Folders - Hierarchical folders in TestTrack Pro provide a familiar method for organizing defects, feature requests, change requests, and any other information you need to track. A list of all folders that contain the issue is available from the Folders list window.
History - TestTrack Pro tracks all changes to an issue. You can view defect history information, including the user or customer who submitted the issue, when it was created, how it was created, who last modified it, and the date it was last modified.
Easy To Use
TestTrack Pro is a powerful issue tracking solution that is easy to install, easy to use, and easy to maintain. With many behind-the-scenes collaboration features, your development team is kept informed of important issues and assignments even when not logged in to TestTrack Pro.
Web, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris Access
Whether you are at your desk, on the road, or working from home, you have access to TestTrack Pro. All of TestTrack Pro's features can be accessed though a Web browser on virtually any operating system or through native Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris clients.
Completely Customizable
Use TestTrack Pro out-of-the-box with minimal customization or completely customize it to fit your terminology, processes, security rules, and compliance needs. TestTrack Pro ships with pre-configured templates to use as starting points for your projects.
Access from Visual Studio
Integration with most popular development environments, including Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Visual C++ 6.0, and Visual Basic 6.0, lets developers access TestTrack Pro and work with issues and change requests from their preferred IDE.
An Integrated Automated Testing Solution
TestTrack Pro integrates with our automated functional testing tool, QA Wizard Pro, to further streamline your testing efforts. This integration offers the following benefits:
When failures occur in scripts, you can automatically add defects to a TestTrack Pro project.
QA Wizard Pro automatically includes detailed information in defects, saving testing and development time and ensuring all team members have the information they need to fix the problem and retest the application.
You can use the TestTrack Pro workbook from within QA Wizard Pro to manage defects and other project-related tasks.
Each QA Wizard Pro workspace can be configured to use a specific TestTrack Pro project, providing flexibility to manage testing of multiple products and versions.

How to make your Uploads last ...
How to make your Uploads last ...
It is no secret that the major file upload providers are notorious for deleting or blocking your files.
This is a huge waste of your time spent re-uploading files. But there are ways to either
stop or slow down the process of files getting deleted.
Here are some tips to make your uploads last longer:
1. Never never never name a file exactly the same as its contents.
Example:
BAD - Windows_Seven_Professional.rar
Good- wsp.rar
2. Always password protect your files.
This disallows the the file storage
company from seeing what you have uploaded.
If possible give each different upload you do a different password.
Example File 1: B_L_v2.rar File Password: a@4%_d1FR
Example File 2: sep_v12-3.rar File Password: q&1W3c_p
3. Use a compression program,
like WinRAR, that has the ability to encrypt your archives contents.
Even if you password protect your archive, if the contents are not encrypted you can still open the archive
and see the file names.
4. Finally, make it really confusing for the file upload company. Rename your file to something other than .RAR, .ZIP or .7z.
Example: Rename sep_v7-2.rar to sep_v7-2.jpg
Just make sure you notate that the file names have been changed so that other members
won't have problems extracting the files.
Example:
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/24623800/MO07BE.part1.psd
http://rapidshare.com/files/284613800/MO07BE.part2.psd
http://rapidshare.com/files/261428745/MO07BE.part3.psd
Before extracting rename files from .psd to .rar
These simple tips should help prolong the life of your uploads and make your lives much easier.

15. Name the encoded file what you wish to, in File Name box and hit the Save button to save the name and location of your file:
16. Now you're all setup to Encode your Video, go ahead and click the Encode button to start the encoding process
17. Notice that as soon as you hit the encode button, the video in the left hand display pane starts playing and you can see the status of your video in the Status bar, and the audio indicators moving on left of the display pane (highlighted below):
18. Now when the file in the left hand display pane is finished playing once, it starts playing in the 2nd display pane (the right one) that is because we selected 2 Pass Encoding in Step 5. Now remember here that 2 Pass Encoding is the best and you need to stick to it if you want quality...so I've highlighted the right hand display pane, with audio indicators and status bar which clearly displays that the 2nd Pass is in progress (refer to CAP below):
So this is how it works out
