I hate the new software
I finally got the v2 software upgrade installed today (it had been giving me errors previously).
First impressions: pretty, but completely sucks!
Why can't I rate songs on a 5 star scale any more? I used all five stars to mean different things! What the heck are the three hearts supposed to mean?
Is there any way to edit all of the other tags that go along with a song? I liked that there used to be that "mood" tag or whatever, among other things. Now there's no way for me to set all the other info that goes along with a song? Why would they remove functionality?
It appears there is no longer a way to create a "smart playlist" (to steal iTunes' term). That is practically the only type of playlist I ever used! I used to tag my songs in the "notes" field, for example, with things like "mellow" or "sexy" and then I could dynamically find all songs for that mood and create a playlist out of them. I also made playlists to filter out music based on genre, so I had a "mainstream music" smart playlist that filtered out classical music, Christmas music, comedy, etc. Again, why remove functionality?!
I am seriously going back to iTunes for managing and listening to my music. I'll just use the Zune software for syncing. But it will suck that I won't be able to sync my smart playlists. This really, really sucks. I want my old software back!
