Why doesnt the Zune resume playlists?

I've noticed on my new Zune 120 that when I turn the player off, then come back to the player it does not save my place in  playlists. I've never seen a digital player that would not resume play from where you left off. What is wrong with Microsoft? You can't transfer your music in a folder and play the folder unless you create a playlist. Okay, I can live with that, but I've got to remember what playlist I am on and where I stopped. Then scroll through the list and find where I left off, that is stupid!!

If Microsoft would make a device that let me do what I wanted to do with my own device, instead of doing what they want me to do; they might sell more devices. No wonder people say the Zune sucks! Show me another $193.00 device that does not remember where you left off when you shut it down.

The 'now playing' list is not cleared... I resume playlists or albums from 'where I was' all the time.  You aren't cold rebooting your Zune device, are you?

I believe that you can resume from "sleep" (holding "play/pause") but that you cannot do that from "turned-off" (holding "back" + down).

Correct.  That's a hard shutdown, which isn't the normal 'off' for the Zune device... hence the weird key sequence.  Smile [:)]

Make sure you turn off by doing what x264 said. Holding down and back will not allow you to resume. Your Zune also won't resume if left asleep for several days.

Yes, I do a hard shutdown. It still seems stupid to me that it does not resume after a hard shut down. What would I want to waste battery life by doing a soft shutdown so I can resume play. It just seems the Microsoft team didnt think things out. The device needs a bookmark fuction.

Mine retains charge for a long time on a soft shut down. I've never understood people's need to do a hard shut down.
