the only thing watch for is the typo in that posting... - do NOT rename the cab file from 0104xxxx.cab to 0105xxxx.cab.... KEEP IT AS IT IS :)

enjoy :)


I'm totally thrilled! I'm back to the "original" version and love it. I'll be able to convert my MP3s back down to 128 bit (from 192 in the library) and use my auto playlist (play count less than 1, randomize list). I don't give a flip about the marketplace (old fashioned - I like CDs) or fancy GUIs on the Zune or desktop. It will do what I want!!

I'll just keep checking the forums for any upgrades that may bring the newer version to my liking. Once that happens I'll upgrade. Until then? Fogetaboutit!!

Oh, and I did change the CAB file as suggested, and it worked "Mahvalous"!!


Congratulations!  I'm glad to hear that it worked for you.  There's no reason for anyone to be stuck with software they don't like when an alternative exists.

re: 2.2 DOWNGRADED to 1.4!!! :) wooohoooo

Thanks for the link. Will be doing this today.

Not because I hate the new software or don't want to learn to use it correctly. But because the software won't work on my computer. Yes, people are going to be pissed because they spent their hard earn money on something and can't even bring the program up because it comes up fuzzy or freezes when you have a lot of music. Plus, their marketplace isn't the only place where people can purchase music. So that really isn't the upside of this device.

I wish the new software would work like it should. But it doesn't. People should understand everyone is not going to have the same positive results as they did. Personally, reading the boards, people are having a sleuth of problems, and obviously, you cannot blame that on their intellect. There must be issues with the software if so many of us are having issues with it. Let's hope Microsoft Zune Team is actually reading our problems, concerns and results, and hope to do something about it, very soon.

Regardless of how much we fight, whine and moan on this board, if they continue to put out inferior software that the masses cannot even use, then the masses will take their money and time elsewhere. Until the next firmware update, it's back to 1.4, mediamonkey and winamp. 3 different programs for 1 device and 1 software that doesn't want to load.

glad to hear you guys who downgraded got it working again :)

my problem was that 95% of my music was useless because of the js-type... and just didn't like the new software personally for other reasons (read post in "why you h8 the new zune2 software) lol

as for other people on this thread - where are the forum-admins/mods?? please keep this post on-topic and erase/ignore/ or even ban some people for flaming threads and posting useless trivialcies that don't relate to the topic on-hand.... :)

if anyone else tries to downgrade but faces problems, feel free to PM me for advice or simply post on here... not sure how long the downgrade link will work - so if it disappears - i have all the info necessary to aid you

thanks :)

This downgrade link isn't going anywhere.

This Downgrade saved my Zune, Thank you so much!  

I was unable to sync my Zune with the new firmware, CONSTANT  error #C00D124D.  This prevented me from syncing anything.  I wasted 3 days fighting with this thing and was ready to throw it away. 

Now that I have the OLD firmware, the Zune works perfectly! 

Anyway, just another vote for why old firmware ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha no you idiot - the software just plain sucks first of all - second - it doesn't recognize JS mp3's - so i'm out 5,000+ songs to listen to - so i need to revert back so i can have my music back...

i'm not going to sit here while ms decides to create a patch for this flaw or not - and be out my device until that time... so - downgrading is my only option

thanks

ps. - if you don't think downgrading is a good idea for you - why even bother replying to this post? (rhetorical)



-downgrading IS a good idea for me not only for the music, but i'm having problems playing any of my movies, so i hope downgrading will help me. I also dont use marketplace.i bought my zune because the halo themed was THAT awesome.

Actually you might consider visting a psych or something to revisit your deep seeded mental issues.  I'm not sure as to what you were trying to accomplish by posting my myspace stuff in the zune forums.........OBVIOUSLY it's public therefore anyone can actually go and look at it any time they want without ridicule.  I'm sorry you're sense of humor is rather lacking as is any type of mental matuirty.  The argument is not about a right to be upset it never was though you can make it out to be w'e you'd like it to.  Maybe now that you're over acting like a stupid high schooler you'll feel better about yourself when you wake up in the morning.  You are for sure........nobodies hero for having done what you did 'cept maybe your own.

Hold your breath someone is about to tell the greatest lie EVER!
