Why is flexibility taken away when updating? All I'm saying is there was nothing wrong with the original Zune software, so just keep the main features of that software and do whatever you want with the looks or any additional features you want to add.

re: PETITION: Add WMP Support!
so we go to back to a WMP format and then all flexibility is taken away from the zune team when it comes to updating......sounds awesome.......but not really.

re: PETITION: Add WMP Support!
Personally I liked the old software and used it a lot more than WMP. I'd preffer they just replicate the functions of the old Zune software when fixing Zune 2 over replacing it with WMP. As for making it WMP compatible and fixing the software, I don't see that happening...

LOL!! @ The beatings will continue until morale improves !!!

I pretty much feel the same way .. a WMP 11 designed for Zune would have been awesome. But i dont think they will go back on that. Fine, however this new software  in my opinion is simply eye candy without the necessary features for competent media management..

I sincerely hope that the update that is promised fixes these issues that so many of us have.

Cheers

re: PETITION: Add WMP Support!
perhaps you've missed the post where it's been stated by a Zune Team member they're working on an update for a Janurary '08 release.  In all seriousness though you are entirely to angry and childish to even be using the internet.  You take the software and device way to personally.  Seek counselling to deal with these anger issues you have they are not healthy.

As you well know from my prior posts SR, I have no problem with my Zune as a device. I like it. The software is a DISATER. I don't like it. I runs just like it was designed to... POORLY! I've had no install issues, I've got this media management thing well under control. I've been using mp3 players more than ten years now. I LIVE on the bleeding edge of technology! And I'm not hurting for cash, I've got ACTUALL PAPEREWEIGHTS that cost more than my Zune.

So, no I won't be ebaying it and I won't be going away. I'll be here BITCHING until somebody on the Zune team pulls their head out and rectifies this debacle! As soon as I get a serviceable media manager or the ability to use WMP, I'm outta here for good.

Till then, I'll keep checking in. And when I come, I'll probably still be angry at how such a piece of crap piece of software could be released into the market place by such a mammoth corporation. Your constant excuse-making will infuriate me further and I will comment on that as well.

Get used to it. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Now, look up NEOPHYTE and then read the board p-tard. You'll find neophyte after neophyte asking, "How do I get music/video/photos onto my zune? Where is the 'any key.' You see, smartass, if the software was REMOTELY intuitive these types of posts, with which this board is REPLETE!!! [Look that up too.] would be UNECCESSARY!

Because it is not intuitive, it is too hard for 'many neophytes' to use as evidenced by their many posts asking: Why can't I download the software ,or why won't the software recognize my Zune, or why do my parents and/or Bill Gates hate me so much that they gave me this POS?

re: PETITION: Add WMP Support!

WMP JUST DO IT! Yesterday! We know what you were going for with the 'upgrade' but you have failed. It's too hard and cumbersome for many neophytes and unacceptably basic for advanced users. It's impossible to make everyone happy Zune team, but with the exception of a few zealots and a few obliviots who don't know enough to know what should be possible you have pleased no one!

Get it together! Until you do, GIVE US BACK WMP SUPPORT!

Just to be clear, the Zune Software is the only way to SYNC with the Zune Hardware.

You can certainly manage your PC collection/library using any tools you want, us any tagging utilities, use any organizational tools, use any ripping software, etc.

 

Although that is true, it contradicts the ecosystem approach that Microsoft is going for.  For many of us, the WMP11-based Zune software worked just fine as both a way to sync to our device and to manage our libraries.  The day that "sync with Zune software, use something to manage your library" becomes the official Microsoft reply, is the day that I downgrade my 2nd Zune back to 1.x and with that, the last possibility of Microsoft getting any of my money via the Zune Marketplace.   No emotional entanglement for me.  I love the Zune 30 hardware.  Love the 1.x software.  Am excited about the POTENTIAL of the new software.

With my previous players I was able to use WMP or Media Monkey to manage my library and sync to my device.  I've only needed to use one application for both purposes.  Using two apps is temporary workaround that I'm willing to deal with, but NOT the preferred way.  Factor in those of us who use Windows Media Center, and XBox360 and this tower of Babel becomes a mess best avoided.
