I couldn't agree more.

Also, make it compatible with video types like .WMV, stuff like that.

re: We're listening!

Message to MS regarding Zune Feedback (Podcasts)

I purchased a Zune 80 because I’m a huge Microsoft fan and heard the Zune had good (from C|Net) Podcast support. To my surprise the 3year old Smartphone I have does a better job of playing Podcasts. Sure the Zune will sync up directly, and wirelessly (cool), but I can’t manage the podcasts once they are in the Zune. Which reduces the user experience. Example being able to queue up multiple podcasts or create a play list. If I listen to a 20 min podcast I have to unpack my Zune, navigate to the podcast of my choice and select. Hard to do when you are running, hiking or driving.

  

Podcast Manageability

    1. Play list or queue list (this is most important) ----Please please please this is the most important request.
    2. Ability to Delete one podcast title (not subscription) from the Zune
    3. Show (or have option to show) list of songs, podcasts or videos recently synced on the Zune. When I sync wirelessly I don’t know what has been updated. I have to navigate though all podcasts to get an update.
    4. The ability to download podcasts or RSS feeds when in a WiFi hotspot would be fantastic and totally worth the price of the Zune.

    2.    Software

I find the manageability of podcasts in the software as unintuitive. I think it’s because I’m a MS guy and accustom the freedom of full access to the files and not working with a limited interface. I’d like to have a broader look at all the podcasts at the same time. I hate to say it, but similar to iTunes. With the Zune software I’m forced to click on an Icon of the podcast to see what is there. A list view would be more efficient.

  1. Ability to download, play and bookmark audio books – Audible support would be great! I’m sure that is a partnering issue, but that would be a great benefit and expand the Zune market.
  2. Many media devices have FM, but I’d love AM too. I never listen to FM radio, just Podcasts, MP3s and AM - - I get that goes beyond a firmware update, but I had to ask.

 Thank you for your time.

re: We're listening!

Here are a couple few things.

I am left handed and would like to watch the videos with the controls on the left side.

Also when are we getting movies to download?

Lastly why can't I pay for my subscription which I do.  Then sync the songs I download to my device.  Then delete them from my hard drive.  (My PC has less space than my Zune.)  Then not have them be deleted automatically next time I plug in my Zune.

I have two Zunes and one is for me.  I have all the cool stuff I like on it.  The other is for my roommate and he likes things like Frank Sinatra.  I had already put all that stuff on his Zune and I needed to free up space on my PC so I deleted the folder that said Frank Sinatra.  As soon as I plugged in his Zune it deleted all that music.  Why?

 

And there's nothing wrong with me This is how I'm supposed to be In a land of make believe That don't believe in me

How about a better compatibility with Windows Media Player 11?

Playlists that I created on WMP seem to be incompatible with ZUNE software and thus the device itself.

Maybe to better promote ZUNE, Microsoft should MERGE WMP and ZUNE softwares into one concise and definitive software product. That would simplify the marketplace and encourage more WINDOWS USERS to buy a ZUNE for themselves!

--Xo


Or get rid of the Zune software altogether.

re: We're listening!
I have a lot of Japanese Music on my Zune but am disappointed that the software does not show the names of the songs on the device.  All that shows up are squares.  Please make it possible to read the Japanese Characters on the Zune.  On the ipods you can read the Japanese but not on the Zune. Why?
