This actually messed up my number of played tracks, It took like 400 plays away from the Mars Volta...

I guess there still isn't a fix for the Podcast un-subscribing themselves.

The Zune Social, Zune's social networking site, just got a slight upgrade yesterday. Besides general stability and performance enhancements, there's navigation improvements that let you remove friends and view song and album information in send dialogues.

Agreed. The Zune Social developers are an entirely different team than the folks working on the desktop client, and yet another team working on the firmware. Those are all very different disciplines.

Have some faith, folks. 2.0 is a damned nice piece of engineering. Sure, it has some issues. But as much as I loved my original 30, I REALLY love it now.

Cesar, my thanks to the team for all the great work. I look forward to seeing what's next.

jonathan broderick I totally disagree with you.

1 - I think these tweaks to the social make it much more useful, descriptive and fun. 2 - I doubt that developers working on the Social take away from developers working on whatever you want out of a Zune firmware patch.

Thank you Zune Team!

Love the enhancements, however I would have hope that fixing the bugs in the software would have been the first priority. A tad bit dissapointed that you guys are focusing on a piece of the experience that was pretty polished versus the piece that has well documented bugs that should be fixed.

Nice improvements Ceasar. I hope the team can crank out some improvements for the 2.0 software next. While I appreciate the ease of use for a novice that the new software provides, I miss the greater functionality provided by the old 1.0 version.

I've basically gone from using it to manage my library to just managing what's on my device. I miss being able to do both in one package.

Cesar,

Any word on the battery drain issue yet?

Glad to see you guys are keeping your ears to the ground, nice enhancements. Also, I love how unrelated to your posts some of the comments on this blog are. (Not Jaxim specifically) Like the one in response to your last post asking for a case for his 30. :)

Zune team, if you're listening.... Download history for subscriptions still won't load. It gets stuck at varying percentages for different users. There's a nice long thread over on zune.net with numberous users outlining their problems. Customer support and mods cannot help us. Seems to be a backend issue. http://forums.zune.net/15482/ShowPost.aspx

Zune Social looking much better now, thanks Zune Team!

If you are listening, then... Still waiting for the advanced features (enhanced rating for songs, DJ features, Clock?, Device item removal, auto playlists, EQ on the new v2 Zunes and others...)
