All that we cherish must fade into twilight, yet there are dreamers who dare to preserve. These fragments of brilliance, these echoes of light, these memories we choose to serve.

Here we stand, between yesterdays lost and tomorrows beyond our reach. Before dreams that paid too dear a cost, keeping vigil, too moved for speech.

Behold Rune v1.0.0 Wakeman, A tribute to what could have been, a window to an alternate present, where Zune's legacy lives on.

This is our reverence cast in digital form—a sanctuary of music born from the spirit of Zune. We dared to imagine the path not taken, to glimpse what might have blossomed, had those early dreams taken root.

Here stands no child of modern convenience, untethered from clouds or streaming seas. Rather, it is a humble vessel, crafted to cradle your carefully curated collection of melodies.

Within its understated heart beats an enlightened soul. Through algorithms that listen with a poet's ear, it weaves connections between kindred songs, creating tapestries of sound. Its sophisticated orchestration tools empower you to compose symphonies of moments, each playlist a story waiting to unfold.

It carries echoes of beloved designs: Zune's timeless elegance, Windows Mobile's fluid grace, the luminescent touch of Reveal Highlight, and whispers of Windows 11's refined aesthetic—all flowing together in harmony.

We offer this creation as both mirror and canvas. Every hue, every interface element, every feature awaits your personal touch. And like a gift to future dreamers, we've unveiled its essence through open source, inviting all to join in writing new chapters of this tale.

Our vision stretches across digital horizons, embracing Windows, macOS, and Linux alike—a bridge between distant shores.

Though the path proved longer than the stars first promised, we hold fast to our belief: that somewhere in tomorrow's dawn, there still lives a place where yesterday's dreams can bloom anew.

Here stands our tribute to the past. A bridge to what could be, Where old dreams need not breathe their last.

But live on, wild and free.
