I'm not surprised. As much as I love my Zune, I don't love the software glitches I'm still encountering. For example, I had trouble removing the Christmas music (and I suspect I'll have trouble getting it back on next year), and that Quicklist feature I really liked disappeared sometime between May and October. And, if I want to know what happened to it, I will have to make a trip to the forums to read. And, I haven't found the time to do that. At one point I had trouble loading video. But by the time I plugged the thing in again, the problem had been fixed.
I still feel strongly that Microsoft goofed big-time in not having the Zune work with the WMP software that already existed. My guess is that had Microsoft done what was totally intuitive to everyone -- but Microsoft -- the Zune would have captured a larger market share than it has. I'm still using my 4GB, so I'm not encountering the Y2K-like problem. My 30GB is still in its box, and hopefully, by the time I take it out, the problem will have been fixed. However, based on my observation from last year, it could take Microsoft as long as two months to fix it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Allen Heald, Esquire Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TV orNotTV] [OT]: Who's Zuning Who? Via Joe My God. Gizmodo is reporting that the nation's 30GB Zune owners are waking up today to find their devices "frozen" in some apparent Y2K-ish programming glitch. The problem is being reported by thousands of Zune owners across numerous user forums. --- Apparently, around 2:00 AM today, the Zune models either reset, or were already off. Upon when turning on, the thing loads up and... freezes with a full loading bar. I thought my brother was the only one with it, but then it happened to my Zune. Then I checked out the forums and it seems everyone with a 30GB HDD model has had this happen to them --- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
