# January 19, 2008 Mel Thanks for the NIN link! Me likes. A favourite artist of mine, Ugress, releases his new album in just over a week. He's released a couple of tracks from the album for free: http://www.ugress.com/media/mp3/ultimatefix/UgressFeatChristineLitle-TheUltimateFix.mp3 http://www.ugress.com/media/mp3/redrum/UgressFeatChristineLitle-Redrum.mp3 They're not his usual style (Amon Tobin meets The Herbaliser I guess), more dancey poppy orientated but still cool.


# January 19, 2008 Jaxim so when are you guys going to announce audible support?


# January 19, 2008 nik I've been trying to edit my zune library so all the track info is right. It won't let me edit the release year. When I left click and the menu comes up edit is faded out. The new version of the software is much harder to edit on, I liked the old layout better.


# January 21, 2008 quik Hey all... I love the Date Added sort on albums for finding my newer albums, but is there any way to change the Date Added. My older stuff was imported in all at the same time and if I could tweak the Date Added just a little bit it'd help. Thanks! PS: Is anyone using the Zune software and WMP 11? I've noticed the ratings in Zune don't translate to WMP 11 or the file system (file details) in Vista.


# January 21, 2008 Eddie Evangelicals is win.

(edit me)
