The new software messed up my collection again. I haven't yet heard of anyone complaining about problems after getting past that first milestone of messed up metadata.
But I discovered a ton of stuff missing from my collection (but not the device). I can't pin it down because I don't know exactly when it happened, but I think that the metadata got corrupted again somehow, and when I saw things that didn't belong in the collection (I had previously tried to add my whole real collection, but aborted when I found that it insisted on syncing everything to the device), I removed them. I think the removed stuff may actually have belonged there, but had mangled metadata so I didn't recognize it.
It's pretty clear to me that the release of Zune 2 was driven entirely by the arrival of the Christmas shopping season, and didn't actually coincide with a working software product at all. And they're getting away with it, because it only really affects loyal users; the newbies aren't affected.
Shame on Microsoft.
