AWESOME!

After actually upgrading to 3.1, all seems to work. More games! Tested wireless sync - to add 2 songs it took almost a minute I think for just a couple MB but oh well.

I'm happy for now

Thanks for the comments! And props to Microsoft for actually fixing stuff in 3.1

Did you get a chance to try those Amazon songs on your 3.0 device, or only after you updated to 3.1? And does that mean that all the content you were having trouble with is now playing fine with 3.1?

The problems weren't with any specific songs - like that track bar 0:00 bug happened with everything I had.

Anyways, 3.1 is perfect as of now! Nothing has gone wrong so far.

I found another Zune 30 owner today. She had 3.0 and tried to send me a song from 1 foot away and it failed! And she told me that she had to update it when she synced last night. See, I had to update a while back too, when I had 3.0, which is what made me think I was getting 3.1. I guess it needs to... well, I have no idea what happened.
Anyways, if she upgrades to 3.1 tonight then tomorrow I will retry sending/receiving.

Wireless syncing, previewing, etc. all work fine!
No song bugs, no resets needed yet except for when I launched a game and tried to get out immediately and didn't have time to see if it would work out.

3.1 - GOOD JOB MICROSOFT! Don't rush the original [3.0] next time though

You can't say that for sure because you didn't try the Amazon tracks with your 3.0-based Zune, right? That's why I was asking that you try them before you upgrade to 3.1. Now you don't know whether it was the 3.0 Zune having a problem with your content that I've never heard of before, or the 3.1 Zune is now simply able to deal with whatever problems your content has.

At any rate, I'm glad you're happy with your Zune!

Ahh, sorry. At least you know that 3.0 had a track bug with many different types of MP3s as evidenced by the YouTube video. Whether it happened with specific encode types or with all encodes doesn't matter too much now because it's fixed. But I agree, would be nice to know.
Isn't worth downgrading for me though, don't mind that much!
