Any though of doing a Zune Insider video podcast in the future? It would be cool to see some of the stuff at the product fair.

Well i guess ill be the first to comment. my zune tag is Copperdog12 because we have a weiner dog whose name is copper and well she is blind so we feel bad for her. she always runs into things and we laugh but we no we shouldn't. i dont relly know about 12, it just kinda came up.

My zune tage is killerkurt8u it is part of my name kurt= kurtis but my friends make fun of me for being "puggy" and say my fat will eat them and the killer part just makes me sound like 0.1% cooler.

My Zune tag is XViiVX360.  I bought an Intel ViiV based computer and an XBox360 Elite and when I hooked them up together to run: XBox Live, Windows Media Center, Windows Media Player media streaming (at that time), and now Zune media streaming, I combined the two names.  The roman numeral VIIV represent the 64-bit processor I have enabled with Windows Vista Ultimate x64.

My Zunetag story is much more boring than Matt's, but I thought it was worth mentioning. My Zunetag is BoyScoutLeader. When I was setting up my account, I was chatting on-line with three boys in the Troop that I am Scoutmaster over. I asked them what they thought my Zunetag should be and each of them replied "Scoutleader". I asked if they were serious, and one of them replied "Yeah, man. That's what you are. You are a scoutleader. That's cool." So, I decided to heed the advice of my 12-year-old mentors and became BoyScoutLeader on the Social.

<crickets chirping>  Where is everyone?  LOL

My Zune tag is SHADZMO. Back in 1996 I started using the nickname of Shadmo.  I made it up by simply using my first name, Shad, and adding the "mo" onto the end.  When I created my zunetag I added the "Z" for a little added flair.

Anyway, that's what I posted last week for the background contest and it happens to be my Zune tag too, so sorry for the kinda repeat post.  

Hope to see some more Zune tag stories :)

Great Podcast again. Windows Phone sounds really cool *navigates to bing*

In answer to your question about zunetags, mine (Atomic Willow) comes from my middle name - it's willow :D - and the Atomic part comes from my original college major: I majored in Physics in my freshman and junior year, so it was the perfect discription!

I made the name Whitelord126 because I started to play an MMO game. I originaly wanted to be called darklord but it didn't work out. So I thought about the oposite lightlord but that didn't sound right so i settled with Whitelord and the game gave me the 126 part of the name. So that is how I got the name. P.S. it has nothing to do with racism.

Awesome show guys, wish ya could have did video instead but thats aight.

I can't wait for the Zune HD, Windows Phone & the Zune Marketplace coming to Canada Finally :)

Music, Videos, Movies, Games, and Applications AWESOME! Can't Wait!

P.S. I don't know why but I would love one app that would be like an alarm.

Once you turn it on, "turning off would be a password or Home/button" it uses the accelerometers, & once it detects movement it will go off really loud with whatever sound or song you pick.

Fun to see who is playin with your Zune HD :P

And to just annoy people LOL

Whoa, it looks like I have to be first. Okay, okay, I can deal with that.

Hey, I listened, therefore I respond: my Zune tag, lakonian 117, is my Xbox gamertag as well. "Lakonian" is basically a way of saying "Spartan", + the 117, well, I think ya guys know where I'm going with that number (non-Halo-fans: the Master Chief's designation is Spartan-117).

Lakonia is the Greek name of the region; Sparta was the name of the capital city. Thus a Spartan could reasonably be referred to as a person hailing from Lakonia, or a Lakonian.

There's your history lesson for the day.

I can't believe nobody else has left the meaning of their Zune Tag.  Okay, so out of pure self-absorption fostered by the internet, here is the meaning of mine, "SaintDoormatius":  the name is one I invented for a character in my college comic strip.  The character, Saint Doormatius, is the patron saint of hopeless romantics (I was studying medieval art at the time).  Anyway, there ya go.  I love the podcast!

Hey there. My Zune Tag is "Lord Serch" and actually I got thanks to a Microsoft Game: Age of Empires. Remember the time when there was something called "MSN Zone" to play online? Well the first time I went to play online with a friend, he chose "Sir Albert" as nickname, so I came up with " Lord Serge" but it was taken, so I changed a couple of letters and became "Lord Serch"

BTW, I really like the way you two get along on the podcast, it makes it even better, and you're getting better with each episode. Keep up the good work.

Am I the only person explaining the meaning of my Zune Tag? Wow... Well anyway, when I was born, my parents had the amazing foresight to know that I needed a crazy-solid-awesome Zune Tag, and therefore decided I should be named normanhorn. Bingo.

where can I find that blog on auto playlist?

So I take it that the comments were not working?  I posted a few days ago...

Anywho,,, my Zune Tag is Shadzmo, which I derived from a nickname I've used since 1996 when I first began really making using of the internet.  Shadmo is my first name with "mo" added onto it.  Later, when I got my Zune I decided to add the "Z" to zunify my nickname for use as my Zune Tag :)

Thank you!

Yeah, I left a comment too, but it evaporated.

My Tag comes from my middle name and my old college major - I used to be a physics major. So that's how I came up with AtomicWillow.

Hey, there's a bunch of songs, albums, and artists disappearing from the Marketplace.  This is bad for us Zune Pass users because even though we downloaded the songs we can't play them anymore.  This is lowering the value of the Zune Pass.  What's happening?  I made a forum post about this here:

forums.zune.net/.../ShowPost.aspx

My first tag was "BIOSHOK", because I thought that it sounded cool, and this is before the Bioshock game was ever heard of. Once the Bioshock game came out, I was getting a lot of trash talk about my tag, so I changed it to what I currently have right now which is "HYDR0SH0K". I figured that this sounded just as awesome.

Great show as usual.  My 4th iPod touch started acting up again and it was this very podcast that helped push me over the edge and make the leap to Zune.  I am LOVING it!

My zune tag is "cgon us!"  Some non-existent fellow already had "cgon" and I didn't feel like adding random numbers or letters so I tagged on "us" to mirror my domain name.  cgon is a mashup of my initials and "ONline,"  I'd like to change my tag (very conflicted about making that decision) but My Account wont let me, gets to the very end and gives me an error.

So "cgon us" it is for now!

Whats up guys

Usually I use the username jersits. Because my name is Jeremy and i'm sitting when i'm on the computer. However for some reason i don't remember it wouldn't let me so i went to my secondary which is DirtyChump. Which i guess originated from what my brother in law would call me every time i killed him in Halo, although i dont really remember.

anyway the real reason i commented is cause when i was listening to #30 i was in my house in Fresno with 112 degree weather with a broken AC. Couldn't help laugh at you guys complaining about 100 degrees

my zunetag is sil3ntt3mplar

it comes from Starcraft as a reference to the 'dark templar' who are invisible and therefore silent. silenttemplar was already taken sadly so i went for the l33t speak version

My Tag is "Ant Eater72".  Why?  One day while surfing the net, I cam across this parody of Hopper's Nighthawks painting (www.reddit.com/.../im_an_anteater_wallpaper) and I loved it.  Loved it so much that its now my permanent wallpaper, and my handle on Steam.

Also, John C, that link for autoplayists is here

Ok both bing and google have failed me, and I'm terrible about searching forums.  But here we go, my ZUNE120 usage rights for the Zune Pass expire always within 5 days of a sync.  No matter what time of the month, and my wife's 30gb Zune doesn't have this problem.  Any help, please DM at mrmikesimons.  Thanks gang, and keep up the goodwork.  

My looong comment has gone, now it's shorter now,,

PuNaTaRo is from Japanizing my first name Punn, which also rhymes with zune!!, The name Punataro originated in 2004, as my main email address, and my friends started to call me Punataro, maybe Punn is too short.. I also named my gadgets according to the punataro-theme, such as Zunataro,Vaiotaro,PunaLacie, Diamonataro(my WinPhone HTC's Diamond)...Only my Zune,renamed after 3.0 upgrade,to PUNEZUNE - cos it rhymes!

I want zune for my windows mobile samsumg omnia!!!

...and beefy with one "y" was taken, so I added a "y".  I'm 6'5" and 300, so beefyy fits perfect.

I don't listen to the show anymore cause jetherealz told me they are only announcing the zune hd to the U.S. only right now, so I won't bother looking up any news until its in my country, cause I'm not good enough to hear U.S. news, besides they are the center of the universe thats why they are the only ones allowed to know.so in other words don't expect it in your country on September 8th thats only for the God Loved U.S. Americans, we'll have to wait longer cause we sux.

My tag is Sheenandsoulglo. I was using Afrosheenandvaseline for a while, but this combines my love of Black sploitation films, and the insanely huge afro I had for a while. It's kind of a mesh up of a bunch of different things.

My Tag comes from my middle name and my old college major - I used to be a physics major. So that's how I came up with AtomicWillow.

Mine? A totally nerdy Star Wars reference. But I couldn't believe it wasn't taken.

Since the zune hd is using a nevida tegra chip it should be able to run games like quake cod 1 ut 99
