Me too. Songs I play in the software work ok. But not on the device. I just downloaded a couple of songs from the marketplace (no wierd metadata) and tried it out on those. I unlinked, played the songs then relinked and synced, got nothing.
Two guys walk into a bar, the first one looks at the second one and says... "You didn't see it either?"
Not any of mine. I have spent lots of time in the past ensuring that all my metadata has been correctly filled in, cover art and all. I even have all my music broken down by artist and album so that all my folders are correct have the right folder.jpg files.

Here's the thing: if you have *any* music files with *any* weird metadata, even if they're not the ones you played, your upload may be blocked if you *ever* played them. It's not definite, but it's one more possibility.
Well in my case I blew away my Zunestore, refomatted my device and started over. I've played music that has not ever had issue before and yet still none of my device plays upload.
Some of my songs do have the following characters ( ) [ ] but those are the proper track titles, some designate (Radio Mix), etc.
No, my device plays dont count. Played two albums last night on the device and synced it. I could see the songs "update" during the sync process, but then they dont show up, either here, or on my software.
My software shows song plays here, and it has the same metadata, so I can't figure out what's going on.
I'm also synced in as myself and not a guest. (I have been going back and forth between guest and host with the previous (2.5) version.)
