The problem here is that the average consumer is going to, as you put it, "screw up".  People are buying the Zune to play music and movies, not use the marketplace.  Most don't know that the player is tied to a single piece of software.  Most don't know that you can not manage your music/video library with the software anymore.  More than likely, they will find out after trying to figure out how to edit the album art, or change artist information, or see recently added music, or see recently added podcasts.  These are things most would expect from music software from the biggest software company in the world.

Most would say the old software isn't perfect.  But, it is more flexible.  I'm thinking about downgrading.  I'm not sure where I stand just yet.  I haven't reached that level of frustration just yet.  But if I continue to have ID3 tag issues, no doubt I will make the switch.

OKAY THANK YOU! I'm going to downgrade because this new update is so DUMB. Upgrading this Zune was like downgrading. I don't want all the music in my music folder to be on my Zune player. I want to add music and videos manually to my zune. I want to cahnge the album art in my zune media player. I want to be able to add to my folders, music that I am playing in the "Now PLaying Folder."

This upgrade is just a FAILURE! it's annoying. I don't use Marketplace crap! I use a mp3 player to play music! I don't use it to buy music from their marketplace. That's the stupidest thing I ever herd...

The zune people better fix this RIGHT NOW! I was so mad when I upgraded and spent liek a whole day finding ou how to add music to my collection manually, then finding out it doesn't work and that ALL my music and VIDEOS are now on my Zune and now it won't update with the new music I download!.....PSH BULL!

Again, perfect example from LeoGoneWild here above as a picky user, asking and complaining about stuff that is already there or calling something "stupid" even though it's the way things have been for years.

Everyone has their own preference as to how they want things so this software is not perfect for everyone like I said and it needs more options. But STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT STUFF THATS ACTUALLY THERE THAT YOU DO NOT USE

The average user throws their music into My Music because it's easy to access from the start menu and because most software autoscans it,
LeoGoneWild likes to have his music elsewhere on his hard drive because he likes to pick and choose.
YOU CAN REMOVE /MY MUSIC/ FROM THE SETTINGS MENU AND ADD ANY OTHER FOLDER ANYWHERE ON YOUR HARD DRIVE.

The average user likes everything to sync all at once because they don't want clutter,
LeoGoneWild here complains that it sync'd everything when he didnt want it too, and wants to pick and choose.
There is a FRICKIN OPTION AS SOON AS YOU LAUNCH AFTER INSTALLTION if you want it to sync everything or if you want to choose what it syncs. Don't say it doesn't work because it does. I've tried it personally on 3 different computers now. HE SAYS IT TOOK HIM A DAY TO FIND THIS OUT WHEN IT ASKS YOU AT THE FIRST LAUNCH OF THE PROGRAM.

The average user gets his music from the marketplace or from a CD legally and it automaticlly gives him the album art.
LeoGoneWild here wants to illegally download his music using torrents/limewire/whatever, and while not giving the creator of the album or the record company any proceeds for having their product that they worked so hard to put out into the world, exepects Zune to automatically have all the information automatically even though he got the music from a crappy non-legit and illegal source. And infact thinks the ability to purchase/download/sync music straight off the internet at competitive pricings without having to go to the store OR pay for shipping is "stupid" even though Apple, Wal-Mart, Target, and many other companies have the same thing.
Self explainitory. I don't even have to touch that one.

Sorry, I just had to put this out there.
Not a single one of these complaints he just mentioned are even legit yet he expects Microsoft to "Fix" them. I simply do not get it.

Maybe you don't seem to understand my problem with the gravity of all the negative posting and that's find.  Limited minds can't really comprehend that in order to have a legitimate complaint about something one must first actually give REASON for such negativity.  99% of the people whinning and moaning about the software HAVEN'T.  Their complaints simply boil down to their unwillingness to try and find the help necessary to help with their product as they would rather spam "i hate the software" comments over several different threads.  I'm not the only one that feels like this or says as much so please keep your narrowminded comments to yourself.

For starters, and I'll focus just on this--he has his myspace in his signature. Here are some of the many (rather unvarying faces) of our favourite person to hate.

His caption "Cowboy up ***"... seriously? Seriously? You cannot be serious. You are though, aren't you?

The fun doesn't stop here... Stoic [27 year old male from C-Rock Colorado, who listens to almost exclusively Korn and Marilyn Manson] has a top friends that includes a one "Queen of ***" -- a 19 year old girl who he recently had a comment conversation with that went EXACTLY as follows:

i forgot what we were talking about

me too
-----------------------------

Funny... I remember what they were talking about. BECAUSE IT WAS STILL WRITTEN ON THEIR FUCKNG WALLS. Stupid? Yeah. You'd think the almighty Stoicr4ven would figure out that if he looks at his own comments (or hers) and SCROLLS DOWN, he can read all the dumbass *** he's been saying.

Not only is Stoic dumb enough to put his MySpace in his signature, he's stupid enough to leave it public and open himself up to the very kind of abuse that I'm subjecting him to right now. Still more, he has disgusting conversations with girls who are eight years his junior (when he was 18, she was 10... you know, just to give you some perspective) and  spontaneously forgets what he was talking about, even as it was written right in front of himself.

Is this really a person who's opinion you should take seriously about anything? I think not. Downgrade and be happy. Don't and be happy. Either way, ignore this cockbite.

Seriously, Stoic. I've never met a greater hypocrite. You're an idiot and, ironically enough, incredibly narrow minded. To call you ignorant would be offensive to those who are but have no control over their state.

If nothing else, it's really hard to take someone seriously who doesn't have the slightest clue how to use elipses. Or the shift button.

is this guy serious? did he really just post a bunch of useless crap from somebodies myspace page on a zune forum to win an argument about software usability? check mate i guess...oh snap.

to the OP...thanks for the info. it could come in very handy if some issues don't get addressed.

key points:
1. the new zune 2.2 software does not recognize js-type mp3 media as zune1 software did - that is a FLAW
2. reverting back to zune 1.4 corrects this issue - which is the only thing to do until zune2 comes out with - surprise surprise - another patch
3. you know - i had a lot to say in response to stoic - but - you're not even worth responding to because basically everything was already said in other posts - maybe you should read-up - or at least - try to comprehend what we are "complaining" about - seems like hijacking these threads is what you like to do moreso than being part of a community of zune users...

i'm back to loving my zune again (now that it works) 1.4 :)
