1. Agree, but at least WMP is there to do that job.
2. I don't care for audiobooks, but I can see how this is annoying for people who do.
3. Would be a great addition.
4. Agree
5. This is the only item on your list that genuinely pisses me off. Playlist view is a really logical place for me to edit tags but I can't!

your so right. even if you don't listen to audiobooks you may still have comedy on your zune. it isn;t so bad if you have 30sec jokes on there but i have for one have full shows. i have dave chappelle stand up, i have a huge amount of doug stanhope content. They say God is in the details and i think sometimes it can be the same when a device attempts to make the transition from an accessory to a necessity. A great example of this is my experience with itunes. I stayed with apple for so long not because i loved their device or software so much, but because i had windows vista and some random coder had made a desktop gadget that let me pause,play and rate my music whilst it pulled off album art and tagged it automatically when a song was played. Silly huh? millions of dollare of technology ion hardware and software and i was kept a customer long after i lost patience with the company by this...

look speed?

you can't untag a podcast though? tried moving my ricky gervais into an audiobook autoplaylist and I'm not allowed. i had to delete it from my library. fire up windows media player. rename it there and then re-add it to my library.

i for one like being able to find a song without loading up a player software. i have a sansa clip for the gym and i am forever dragging tracks to it.
the zune software doesn't allow you to drag songs from its interface to an explorer window btw.

i'm not bashing the zune. i imported mine from america at great cost so that alone shows a level of dedication to it. i imported it inspite of he fact i wouldn't be allowed any of the social or market features or app features because of my domicile.
I LOVE MY ZUNE. its the best player out there for me.But imagine if usian bolt was owned by the Dominican Republic of Microsoft......they'd have had him on their swim team.

they have a device to fuse your xbox experience and zune experience and create an eco system that for once outweighs the competition. But they wont. they're not innovative, their reactionary. They're luck that apple have the apple tv or they'd have done something great with the sony ps3 and had microsoft once again scrambling to catch up.

I want the zune to be a runaway success and it angers me that they will never deliver a killer blow to the apple smugness. time and time again people like me who join their front line are left dangling and embarrassed when confronted by an apple fan boy. I'm in the gym with my zune hd and it looks really nice in its pouch. my friends think its gorgeous. then we jump on the treadmill and theyre all flicking tracks by clicking a button near their ear. i'm constantly getting my device out of my pocket and having to navigate it two handed. Zune HD is a near £300 device that doesnt support inline remotes of any kind. not even one made by microsoft for the zune 30.

God is in the details

only last week i deleted all my uni pictures from my computer by accident. luckily they'e on picasa. the zune software doesn't organise your files but if you delete a picture from the collection you use it on windows as well. windows media player doesn't do that. that's where i made the mistake.
