Impressive. Zune firmware is actually truely buggy. [RESOLVED IN 3.1]
Zune 30
Upgraded to 3.0
While playing songs, the bar would stay at 0:00 while the music played
Reinstalled Windows XP - clean install
Installed Zune software
Completely erased, formatted, reset, restored Zune
Upgraded to 3.1
Loaded 100-200 songs and videos
Play a song. Turn off Zune. Turn it on. Select new song. Select play with center button. Zune freezes, requiring a simple reset.
Also, will sometimes display locked icon when switch it unlocked. [Happens with iPods every once in a while, I know!]
"It's your OS!"
NO. Reinstalled XP and only installed FireFox and Zune software.
"You're doing it wrong!"
NO. Simple MP3s, simple WMVs, nothing complicated, no 1337 hax, nothing crazy, nothing unofficial.
MICROSOFT DID A POOR JOB WITH CERTAIN AREAS OF THE 3.X FIRMWARE! Step up your game! Trying to grab sales from Apple? Do a better job, coders! Don't approve crap, managers! I didn't have any extraordinary setup that would be hard to beta test, did I?!?
Just kind of disappointing.
PS: To comfort MS <3s... Backwards compatibility is epic win.
Laying in bed, previewing 30 seconds of every track on the Dark Knight soundtrack through my router with WiFi upstairs... AWESOME.
PPS: I know web browsing, typing URLs and all wouldn't be fun on the Zune. But each one has a wifi chip. Glad to see it's getting some use. Maybe someday even moreso with YouTube-ability?
