Please, this is an old and dead thread. "Feautre requests" should be posted and discussed in the wishlist forums, and not here.
BUMP!
I just need SOMETHING other than Zune to work with...
Consider me signed!
I love my Zune, but had I known when I purchased it that it couldn't sync with WMP, I wouldn't have bought it.

The new software is a complete mess and there is no way a fix can be made quick enough to squash the fundamental issues with it.Of these issues, the most prominent are: Meta-tags being read incorrectly Album art being mixed up / used for incorrect albums (and artists!) Removal of Auto-Playlists Removal of rating system (the heart system isn't a rating system so much as flagging renamed) Removal of meta-edting and editing multiple entries at the same time Index/Smart searching replaced with warped useless timewasting BS Clututered interface Song sorting is completely flawed Now you already know what I'm suggesting: ALLOW ZUNE SYNCING WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYERAllowing WMP support for Zune would solve all of our problems. Old Zune software was just a re-skinned WIMP anyway. WMP is an integral part of Windows (specifically Vista) and if Microsoft wants integration of their media players, xboxs, and pc's then the best solution would be to bring them together with a unified piece of software.Unlock the syncing in WMP and we can all live a happy life and enjoy our Zunes. Not saying not to keep working on the software, but allowing an alternative is definitely required to make the consumer base happy.Sign/Bump if you agree. Let MS see what we want. A solution to all the problems of the new Zune lameware.

I agree!!! I would love my 80G Zune if I could use WMP to sync, add and delete content...as it stands now, I have had my Zune for about a month and I absolutely HATE using it because of the Zune software!!! I have told so many people to avoid Zune completely until they resolve these issues!!!
microsloth = bloatware and defective junk
Looks like this no brainer will never happen. Like the Zune Tatto Guy, I just don't give a crap any more. Since my last post, I moved on and besides my 160 classic, I got an iPhone, and then a 3g iP. Amazing technology. Having been a WiMo user since '97 (Windows Ce) M$ has now lost my Pocket PC/SmartPhone money. Still using PCs exclusively. But frankly, that's only because I prefer to have a tablet, and I'm not comfortable getting a hackintosh. If the speculation is right that could all change in October.
Way to go M$! I was always a fair weather friend... but you guys lost ZUNE TATTOO GUY!!?? Pathetic. Innovate or die.
Zune 30gb? - Waste! iPod Classic, 160gb - Dusty. iPhone wife has it. iPhone 3g, posting from it. :) Suck it Zune!
