I agree - I wish for my Xbox 360 to be a Zune media extender too

What Matt said...TWICE!! Love to plug my Zune into my Xbox which is hooked up to my stereo, but I hat, hate, hate the psychedelic Windows Media Player -like screen saver or visualization thingy. How about the album cover art or the new Artist montage effect., that would be much better.

I know The Social is getting most of the focus of late, but what about enhanced tagging? I use a Streambox to serve music in my house and it happily uses ; to split artist and genre so duets can show under both artists (very prevalent in hip-hop). The code for sub-field splitting can't be that complex, average users who don't use the feature would never notice and it should help "intelligent" playlists function better.

I realize The Social is getting the most focus over the last couple updates, but is there any chance of more sophisticated ID tag management? I use a Streambox as my home server and it's more than happy to use ; to allow multiple artists and/or genres. If you have a duet, why wouldn't you want the song to show under both artists? I've seen it mentioned as an 'expert' feature but it seems to me that the code to handle a subfield delimiter would be trivial to implement and transparent to anyone who only tags with one value. Sounds like an easy way to separate the Zune from the pack.

The thing I want is the Zune Player's fullscreen album wallpaper on my 360 when I'm playing my shared Zune library on my 360

Why would you charge people to change their tag? As a web developer I know this process is so simple that charging for it is a smack in the face.

So - we can add new features to the Zune Social, which is great... but we are having trouble getting new music updated? I haven't seen any feedback from any Zune employees as to what is happening. Last week the main page was not updated in time, but this week - the music isn't even available in the service that is available elsewhere. What's happening???

Great stuff, Now all MS needs to do is make zune marketplace the default media player for the next windows OS.

Very nice. I love this new feature for finding people with Windows live ID's. I just found one of my Friend's (his name is Dave) Live ID and added him. I don't necessarily think I will be changing my gamertag anytime soon though, and I already have a 360, so it won't really apply to me (yet).

Is there any way to show the contacts by First Name/ Last Name as opposed to the nick name?
