 Get it while it's hot!

This week, special guest Brian Ledford, project manager for Zune, stops by to play a song from his new record and to tell us what it's like herding cats. Matt and I trade Zunes with our co-workers, discuss new music and video in the Zune Marketplace, and talk about wireless sync. And there might be a surprise or two - listen carefully!

We also want to thank you so much for listening and giving us your feedback. Matt and I totally love doing this - and your comments help us do it better.

Listen online here, or subscribe through the Zune software here.

Great podcast.  Could you start making the giveaways based on something besides first posts?

just randomly picking someone allows those of us who can't listen right away to still have a chance to win awesomeness!

Common is a Chicagoan...and I would very much like that Zune.

Zunetag is Bardhaven.

U said the tegra chip will be in the zune hd...and the tegra chip can support HD image processing for advanced digital still camera and HD camcorder functions..does that mean we might see a camcorder or camera functions in the zune hd..?

I have a zune4 but it doesn't work now .just show the first level interface.And then if you select the music ,you will see"please connect to 'www.zune.net'"  what's that?

Absolutely awesome performance Brian!

Could you please post the winner of the contest?

Thanks for the kind words, You can pick up the record in Zune Marketplace now:

social.zune.net/.../ContentRedirect.ashx

Any chance you can make this podcast available to us fine folks in Canada who don't have access to the Marketplace? (Or how about giving us Marketplace access?)

Cant you just add the feed? To get a podcast in your zune software?

way way too late

i love this podcast

When you minimize Media Player, you get a little control bar in the taskbar. Something like that for Zune would be great! Or at least a mini-player mode like iTunes has.

@Dan: Go to your regional settings in Control panel, set your location to United States. Restart Zune, and rejoice

Jessica, you are cute. : )

Great show guys!

Yes, Common is from here in Chicago.  More important, why isn't Brian's work available in the Marketplace?  Doesn't he have any connections at Microsoft?

can we get a cut of the acoustic version on the marketplace? Great stuff thanks

Hey guys, love your podcast. I'm always eager to hear what you have to say about our fantastic product. I started searching for a zune specific podcast when I heard the hd was coming out, and ive been hooked from then on! Thanks for all the work you do to keep all us fans informed on the future ipod killer!
