The zune version is actually there already. Just take the url (when you click "Download" and change the "2MB" to "Zune". You get this: http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/0/ThisWeekC9Mar20_Zune_ch9.wmv

We will expose the different file formats we have in a future version of Channel 9, but for now you can access them by following this pattern:

[code lang="C#"]
const string videoFileFormat = "{0}{1}_ch9.{2}";
string rootPath = "http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/0/ThisWeekC9Mar20"; // Change this to any recent video's root path

string wmvStreaming = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "_s", "wmv");
string wmv = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "wmv");
string wmvHigh = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "_2MB", "wmv");
string wma = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "wma");
string mp3 = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "mp3");
string zune = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "_Zune", "wmv");
string iPod = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "mp4");
string psp = string.Format(videoFileFormat, rootPath, "", "mp4");
[/code]
