With all the issues people are having, I think its time MS did something proactive to fix the situation. 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 PLAYER
Allowing 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.
