Arrow Listen FM radio on my PC using my Zune

I want to listen to my FM radio stations on my desktop PC speakers while my zune is docked or wirelessly.

I wish I had more answers for you, but...

This was brought up and the Zune team was quite non-committal about it. I know that they see the need, but how important meeting that need is to them is anyone's guess. Mac users are a small, albeit growing, population and it may not be a good investment for them to make given how many Mac users would probably prefer an iPod. I personally think it needs to happen, but not all my fellow Zune MVPs agree with me.

There's nothing new here in 3.0. This issue was brought up with the Zune team, they didn't have anything to say about it beyond the usual "Ok, that's interesting" kind of thing.

Nothing new here in 3.0.

I don't believe this has changed from 2.5. I agree it would be a neat thing to have.

I brought up the issue of fit-to-screen options to get rid of black bars, but shrinking content to use up less of the screen due to TV overscan...boy, that's niche scenario that would be really hard to justify resources for. Your TV set doesn't have the ability to turn off the overscan?

Zero news on that front I'm afraid.

Default Audiobooks

Forget my last post, I just read the press release. I'm especially excited about the Audiobooks. I would say 75% of my listening on my Zune is of Audiobooks. Does this mean that Audiobooks will be sold on Zune Marketplace as well, and will they be covered under the Zune-Pass subscription service? Thanks.

No word on that yet - I suspect you'll see partner-related info coming out on the 16th of this month.
