Why won't the Zune player sync

with Windows Media Player 11?

Great show! Awesome as ever!!!

Then new games are brilliant and fun and amazing!

Big thank you all around at camp zune. Keep up the great work. cant wait to see whats next. zune keeps getting more emosewa every day

say hayoob!

i love the HD and the new games but really guys. PIM! calendar and contacts please and not as an app. please make it a main menu feature. your microsoft. why can't i get windows live essentials in my Zune HD. i'd also like to see the bing app from windows mobile ported to my HD. that rocks. looking forward to seeing more xbox games comming to the HD and the show rocks.

I am so proud of owning a Zune HD and probably the reason is that Jessica and Mat are working very hard for us Zuners, thank you!

Just got an HD which is our 4th Zune.  All of our old accessories (A/V) dock included work with the HD as well.  Nice job Zune for keeping everything compatible!

Great job on the HD. Absolutely love it. This is the best PMP ever!

Some good info on this show (like always), but I'm not sure that your presentation habits and anxieties are relevant. Also, don't ever admit you watch a show like Mad Money! :P

Just wondering if there will be any updates for the older generation Zunes? Or is the 3.2(35) build our last. I have an 80gb.

Hi, I am a fan of your podcast and think that it is great. I own multiple Zunes including a very nice 32GB ZuneHD and am very impressed in what you guys have put into it. I just have an idea that maybe you could add to the next update regarding the option to delete items manually on the ZuneHD. I was thinking that it would make things a lot easier if when you held down your finger on the screen over what you were going to delete, that if you kept holding it down after the "Pin to Quickplay, Add to Now Playing, Delete" screen pops up, you will be able to slide your finger over multiple items to delete at once. Once you have selected the multiple items, you release your finger and the "Pin to Quickplay, Add to Now Playing, Delete" pops up to let you delete them all at once. Thanks for all of your hard work.

When will the Zune HD have flash player? I want to save my money for a product that can show videos other than Youtube like the iTouch has. (not a real fan of Mac..)

Great to see new games and apps! Will the app platform ever be opened up to 3rd party developers? I can't see the Zune Marketplace catching up to the iTunes App Store unless this happens.

COud we get more apps than these? I mean I'm actually having a hard time choosing between Ipod and Zune because of it. Even though I dispise Ipods, the apps are astounding and often helpful. I would no doubt have a much quicker choice if there were many more to choose from. Thank you

New Zunehd owner, here. Christmas '09

Have listened to the podcast on my nano for the past few months. It's sometimes techy and I'm not 'down' with the overuse of the term 'brilliant', but you've got passion and techy info.

I'm enjoying the HD-fm in Seattle; a good selection of channels.

The web browsing seems faster than on youtube.com but the vers. 4.3 may help as well as being able to listen to music/podcasts while downloading.

I left my zune in a coat pocket for a few hours and it's battery ran down. I thought it had a longer battery life. I'll have to remember to tun it off.

Star Trek movie, digital copy.

 VERY disappointing that the .wmv file of my owned copy will not play in the Zune.

When I 'googled' this topic it came up with possible torrents, too ! (Better results with 'Bing' ?). If Zune wont play legal copies, you just encourage the alternatives.

Sound Quality sounds great.  Have to eventually get an AV dock for my HDTV and stereo.

Cheers.

Really want to be able to advance to the next podcast in a series. I only get a chance to update my zune 1-2 month ... so I grab 3-5 episodes of a podcast at a time. I want to be able to SKIP an episode that I discover that I'm not interested in, and advance to the next episode.
