Yeah, the stream also has their companion software that handles this. Even so, I think that being able to copy/paste zip files directly onto the BS (which would treat them as folders), would be a very nice usability improvement for those folks who find file handling to be tedious.
Management software (what Robert is proposing) is not a bad approach either, but I think it does less to impress the user experience than playing zip files.
