Kudos for pushing the boundaries with record labels and getting us the ability to keep 10 songs each month.  Now it's time to push it a bit further, ROLLOVER credits would only increase the value of the Zunepass, bring new users in, and give existing subscribers even more of a reason not to cancel theirs.  It's a little tricky dealing with only 10 credits per month, coming from someone who only purchases full albums.

Memories don't live like people do.

re: Like/Dislikes: Zune team seeking feedback!
What I like:
*graphically pleasing to browse
*I like the Zune pass - it helps me find new music and similar music.
*Games on the Zune


What I don't like:
*The software is slow after clicking on a new album, as it takes a little too long to load.  Perhaps prefetching all of an artists' albums at once would help here, or displaying the information for the first, and then proceeding to download the rest in case you decide to view them also.
*There are no Zune games on the marketplace.
*There are no movies to purchase
*What's available on X-Box marketplace is not available on Zune.  Same account, I would prefer unified content across both platforms.
*there is no indicator to tell how many songs I've used my 10-free on.  The 10-free also does not roll over per month
*some albums not available
*The software is not designed for widescreen displays.  On the right is a  large whitespace that could be more effectively utilized
*Album covers should be a bit larger, perhaps 500x500, or at least 300x300.  TV Shows should look like DVD covers, not album covers. 
*the TV Shows present are incomplete - 1 or 2 seasons at most.  Only Knight Rider classic looks complete.  Please fill out these TV Shows.
*There should be more TV Shows present.  Please sign some deals or work out arrangements to get more TV Shows on Zune.
*there is no HD Content.
*tv shows and music videos are jumbled together.  Please separate out into TV Shows, Movies, and Music Videos as 3 separate categories.
*Audiobooks and text format books could be bundled into the software to make discovery easier.

Opportunities to improve:
*Signing more deals to place more content and exclusive content that iTunes does not have.
*Update content weekly, and highlight the new stuff.  Fill out the catalog with inexpensive back titles to give variety, but emphasize the blockbusters of today (300, The Patriot, Watchmen, Transformers, Iron Man, etc.).
*Speed responsiveness of the software when switching categories and albums
*Increase album art size, and change TV Show thumbnails to DVD cover aspect.
*Make the software widescreen for modern computers.  Most people nowadays use widescreen displays.
*Unify the X-Box and Zune content so what you see on one is available on the other.
*Movies and HD movies.  Also, if you download a movie, have a few extras come along with it for using your Zune (interviews, behind-the-scenes, etc.)
*Link the Zune software with the Media Center so you can browse and buy content on the big screen.
*Update the Zune software so that it looks Windows 7 native - thumbnail play controls, and show album art when minimized, otherwise, the video playing within the taskbar thumbnail.
*Importing videos - I don't want them to automatically synch to my Zune, which they do even if I set it to manually synch.  There's no easy way to stop this behavior.
*Space Battle, the game, the controls are not very responsive.  I clicked left on the D-pad, and the ship stayed at the right edge of the screen.  Not very helpful.

re: Like/Dislikes: Zune team seeking feedback!

 I think Zune needs to get some people who actually know how to classify music into genre. Ok for the love of God lady Gaga is not Rock WTF everytime I got to the rock section of the marketplace the top downloaded song is a hiphop/rap song not Rock song whats up with that and theres other stuff like queen and linkin park are heavy metal by no meens so why are they in the top artists for Metal. And I dont know if its my computer but when I go to an album of a band only 2 songs form the album are there WTF and the only way I could get the song is a remix, karoke, or live version which none I want.

re: Like/Dislikes: Zune team seeking feedback!
I love the clean look and streamlined feel of the marketplace itunes is a crowded and sloppy mess in comparison.  I love the zune pass, its helped me discover tons of music. however the marketplace should have a thing on an artists page where you can select to recieve update about new music from that artist. thanks to the zune pass im listening to tons of music and i occasinally miss a new album from and artist i like.  it would be great if i could sign up on the artists page and get a notification in my inbox when new music from them is released.

re: Like/Dislikes: Zune team seeking feedback!
i would like to see zune pass and xbox live unified. if i am signed up for xbox live, i get a discount on xbox live or something. it would give everyone with xbox live a great reason to pick up a zune and use it as their primary player, especially if zune and xbox marketplace were one music and video could be downloaded on BOTH xbox and the computer. love the 10 free tracks. makes zune marketplace best music service available. however, there are still missing albums. such as k-os's new album YES! its a great album and i had to download itunes to get it. also, the atmosphere album when life gives you lemons.... has no explicit version available. updating the content to keep the music current would be awesome. also, a page in the marketplace that has a list of all the new music out from artists you have previously downloaded would be a great way to help discover new music from my favorite artists. a way to make that better would be an option to choose which artists are your favorite and have updates available on their new music.

Luckily for all of us, Microsoft is already working on brining Zune Marketplace and XBox Live together. Hopefully we'll see that integration either this spring or in the fall when the new Zune HD is released.

"Zune subscribe" link/button found on most podcast pages does not seem to work with this version of Zune software, I always have to enter the link manualy. Software seems unstable on my machine, got a video codecs not installed error message, and not I got no sound when I try to play anything in Zune, Media Player 11, Windows Media Center, and my system sounds are all working. I'm going to reinstall the software, but If I can't get this software to work, I'll have to go back using iTunes to get my podcasts.Indifferent [:|]

Can you give some specifics about your PC? I might be able to help you resolve problems specific to your PC that are causing the Zune software to malfunction.

I love my Zune but I dislike having to continue to buy and watch most TV shows and movies on my iPod. Please bring movies and up-to-date/current TV shows to the marketplace. PLEASE!

You'll be happy to know that Zune has a guy named Paul Davidson, who works hard to get more and more video content into the Marketplace. Keep a watch of Zune Insider for posts from him outlining new channels and tv shows that become available.

re: Like/Dislikes: Zune team seeking feedback!
I'll add that after last Christmas' dismal sales; Microsoft has finally gotten the clue. Along with the Zune HD expected out this fall (I believe) will be more content and im also expecting real integration with XBox Live. I'm very happy with my Zune and Marketplace but I want Microsoft to be more competitive and I think we'll see that soon. Keep the faith!
