At All Day Offsite Meetings

I'm going to be out of the office all-day today, in meetings, so no posts until tomorrow. Hope your weekends were fun and full of great music!

It would be awesome to get a firmware 2.0 or 1.5

( depending on how much is added )

or even better, maybe a video store? I am tired of converting my dvds and would pay just to get high quality preencoded movies/tv shows on my zune.

yea im really hoping that this meeting are about a big zune upgrade and not about the future zunes. im not one to complain but i would feel a little upset if new zunes came out and us early adopters were just forgotten. i really hope new features that are added dont make me wish i waited. i love my zune alot. i have never had one problem with it.

Cesar. I have a request for our Zune.

While listening to a song, I would like to be able to jump to the artist's song list. (as one of the menu options)

So, I realized something pretty cool while using my Zune the other day. It's related to Frietas15's request.

You know how you might be listening to your Zune on shuffle (all songs) and you hear a song that makes you want more from that artist, but there's no menu option to just jump to that artist quickly... well, when you Shuffle your music, make sure you do it from the Albums tab (Shuffle Albums). Then, when you hear a song and you want to hear more from that artist or album, press the center button, choose Shuffle Off, then press up to Show Song List. The listing is now in order by album, with other songs from the same album right there. You can turn Shuffle On again to continue listening randomly.

Sorry if this has already been pointed out, or is too obvious to mention.. I just realized it one day and it's very useful! :-)

Hey guys! Isn't ceasar part of the marketing? So this could be part of the "second wave of adds" or this could be because they'll have to promote new functions/new models/new regions as they told us they'd expand. Any feedback on my thoughts?
