I mis-typed my thought in the previous post.  I meant to say "externally powered USB hub".

Concerning the software aspect, many of the requests in this thread also require a Zune firmware update to take advantage of the feature.  Hence, I consider firmware feature requests legitimate here as well.

Being able to edit music files without transfering them from the Zune and back would be great, and Find album info option when right clicking an album or song needs to come back

Auto playlists and the ability to reduce the bitrate of the music on your zune.

No clue why they removed those features from the software. Or at least let us go back to 1.X

re: Features Needed For Next Zune Update...
I haven't gotten too in-depth with the new software yet but two items I have noticed right away that I'd like:

1) Get with the Windows Live Messenger guys and add Zune to the "Now Playing" in WLM
2) Podcasts don't show on my "recently played" on my Zune card; would like them to or at least have an option somewhere in my profile to show them or not.

Delete straight from the Zune instead of must using the computer.

Bookmarks for the podcasts.  That way you can start where you left off on a 2 hour podcast when it is paused in the middle. If you synch or charge the Zune, it loses its place.

Browse into Zune using Windows Explorer

Use additional space on Zune as Computer storage device.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that already exists in the lower right corner with the Play controls.

re: Features Needed For Next Zune Update...

Also - something I would like is for the software on the PC to have the same playback and orgainzation options as the device. The current org for the collection is pretty useless, IMO. Why not have a similar interface on both?

 

Also, let me shuffle play on the PC.

Lose the GIANT font main menu



That's a good point... on the Zune player, I think the font size should be bigger than the 1.4 firmware, definitely, but the full main should still fit on one screen without having to scroll down.

Aaron
