I guess extended is better than permanent! Enjoy the vacation.

Jaxim

no software or firmware updates before you head out? :-)

ZuneTracks

For anyone interested, I've got tracks from Beck and Self posted at www.zunetracks.net

jeff

like jaxim said, no updates or even a heads up about anything in the future????

Pff, I'm tempted to say you're not allowed to go on vacation. But, I'm not your boss, so have a good vacation!

Well, here's a little update: there's a new video up on Zune Arts, apparently in honor of Valentine's Day.

Crazy stuff! :) (But I'm still puzzled by the fact that Zune Arts videos occasionally disappear...)

BlueJay

Off-topic, but I have been seeing a couple of Zune ads on VH1...and also a white Zune sighting in an IKEA commercial.

Anyone else been seeing them crop up more?

wow

Hey Cesar,

Found this interesting (see link below)... Unless, I've missed it I think the Zune Marketplace should have a section for Guitar Hero & Rock Band, similiar to iTunes. As a Xbox360 gamer I think it just makes sense. To intergrate the user expierence would be awesome and drive those gamers to the Zune, instead of the iPod! Hope you enjoyed your vaction.

Also, something else to keep you satiated:

A list of all the music from the Zune Ads so far:

Comment on it to update anything I missed.

First -- Enjoy the Vaca

When you get back...

I have a question

> Can I create a playlist from everything in a folder without picking each song? I have a folder with a couple hunderd songs in it (that are not from the same album or artist) and I would like to add them all to a playlist and then to the Zune. Trying to find these via the Zune software would take forever due the fact that I can't find a way to list by folder like in windows explorer.

casey

if my zune was stolen is there anyway i could get it back or have it replaced?

Zoa 342 \E 7/

Well, when you get back, have some fun at work. Going camping or something?

Punataro

Welcome back ... lol

one question

iJah420

I am a silly troll

Jeff Baldwin

Any sightings of David Caulton or Bill Wittress? Their posts have stopped lately. Besides Insider, those were my favorites.

Jeff Couch

pretty please?

iJah420

Not really a troll....

More like a truthful Leprechaun.... ;)
