That was really informative! I almost wish it was longer. Invite Jessica back. Thanks!  :)

P.S. Jessica, I'm wondering if you've heard of a trio of DJs named Grayarea - based in Chicago?

Get them here (and other DJ sets):

It would be nice if you place a flash player in your page, so I do not have to download it.

Awesome interview. It was a frank, succinct look at the philosophies behind the (usually opaque) Zune dev process. A huge thanks for covering my questions, too!

One small correction, though: The release cycle question (a really good one, at that) was actually first voiced by Jonathan Fingas.

Also, we need more interviews like this one. It'll help cement Zune's rep as a more social music player.

Great insightful look into the development process of the Zune Team and how those decisions lead to the end product.

I really appreciated hearing Jessica elaborate on why we don't hear much in-between announcements, the goals of the Zune ecosystem vs simply building off of Windows Media Player or Media Center, and the feeling that there are great things in the works to look forward to!

great podcast! It was really nice to know the process of developing software. Cannot wait for the next one! Keep up the great work we're all watching!

The only thing I do not understand is why Zune doesn't support Plays for Sure content.

The logo appears distorted while playing the podcast in my Zune 8GB. Zune has a lot of things that it needs to do to catch up and pass iPods. I have idea but no idea where to share them.

the cover for the podcast looks horrible. Two episodes and the same mistake with that blurry and pixelated cover.

Since I'm not too good following a conversation in English, can someone tell me what they said in the podcast ?

Give us a resume of the podcast please.

Another week, another Zune Insider podcast! This week, we're talking to Javier Farfan in multicultural
