Oh yeah, you can totally do that - but your plays, favorites, friends, etc won't migrate with you. So it's kind of annoying if you've already built up a reputation here.

Otherwise...we don't have a way to do that today. But we're working on a few things that will help this situation in the future; a lot of people have requested the ability to change the Zunetag.

Obviously you know more then I do but couldn't you just sign up with a different email address?  Also I see you on a lot of different threads its encouraging that to so that the Zune team is reading and interacting.

No - I use the same Zunetag (Jetherealz) for two Zunes. The Zunes themselves have different names, but I don't think they have to either.

You can change your Zune's name easily; you can't change your Zunetag (username).

Yeah, I wanted to change my username too.  I didn't want to spend $400 on an Xbox to do it though and have it break a month later.

Well there is a way to change your zunes name wether you choose to do this is up to you i have done it several times in the past how you do it is save all your music on your hard drive now you delete the zune program completely off your computer then and the zune program back and viola you can now change the name but make sure your using your email account it can be the same as before or you can set up a new on for this purpose only so feel free to change zune's name

i did this this afternoon for a friend aswell so you can do it good luck have fun

re: How Do I Change My "Username" On My Zune Profile?
yeah, someone used my email address to sign up for a microsoft service (xbox live, i think), and now everything i try to sign up for (zune social is the most recent development) has his screen name, unchangeable. it'd be nice if i could do something about that, right? i'd follow the instructions above about changing settings, but for "some reason", i can't seem to log into the zune software, even though i changed the password on the website... rar :)

You click on settings in the top right corner and then go to the right and click on change name and then type in what you want at a User Name
