Amen. Well, at least we still have an EQ... which i barely use but it has some use (not much, but some). How hard can it be to make the unit look like an external HD... and a simple delete feature?


PS: am returning the iPod Classic 160. If you can't get the sound quality right in a portable audio unit then nothing else matters imo.

Agreed. Having a mass storage option can't be that hard to add - it makes me think that they must be preventing it for a reason, perhaps some sort of worry about song stealing....though I don't really understand how that would be so.

A delete option is something I'd like to see as well - I like to "clean house" when I'm done with a video on the device, rather than having to wait until I get back to my computer. The Zen Vision has had this for a long time, why can't the Zune?

Me again.

I'm afraid to upgrade. If the new Zune software doesn't work with .AVI files, my Zune loses a lot of value to me.

Is there a solution?

I haven't heard of one yet - don't upgrade, wait a week or two and by then we'll know how many of the hacks can work with the new software.

Thanks. Yeah, I'll hold off for now.

If a way pops up, could you post it here?

I'll try to remember, but it's probably best to subscribe to our RSS feed and watch for news about the hacks...we'll certainly be watching for any such news!

Did you update to the new Zune software? Go to www.zune.net, uninstall the old Zune software, install the new Zune software, then connect your Zune 30 - and you'll get the 2.2 firmware on it
