My Zune is stuck, I can't even reset it! I guess I'll have to wait for the battery to deplet...

Cesar, I don't believe you.

I think you've given the staff there pots of paint and some brushes to paint a bunch of your black Zunes pink - that's why it's off-line ;)

My Zune is getting very sluggish these days. Today it just stopped responding for about 30 seconds. Even the usual "Hold" tactic didn't work. I was able to reset it though. Anyone experiencing anything like this?

In response to:

Someone explain to me why the newly discoverd copy/move/delete flaw found in vista get a hotfix fast, but the zune skipping flaw doesnt get a fix which we have long awaiting for? forget all those extra bullet points like improved battery life for pausing on radio. give me a fix now.

============================================================

The Zune fix isn't easy, apparently, or it would have been made a while ago. The Zune isn't capable of decoding the DRM for the Zune Pass songs without slowing down other functions (thus causing the unresponsiveness and skipping).

Therefore, one of two things hopefully has been happening.

1. Microsoft has been working on a new DRM and then converting its entire library (or another similar solution related to the DRM).

2. Microsoft has been developing a new firmware from scratch that is more efficient and will run smoothly on the Zune.

Zune Books

This is very off-topic, but here's a link to a way to read books on your Zune. You know, in case you folks read books.

Digitizing "Harry Potter Book 5" or "War and Peace" may be a bit of a task, though.

Here's the link:

P.S. I found it on Lifehacker.com

WOW! Im not sure whether anyone else noticed this... but the delay in the firmware update is pretty close to a successful publicity stunt! I mean cmon... everyones talkin about it! :D.

On another note, I hope MS is working on something for future firmwares too... something exciting like the many features suggested by fellow zune bloggers!

Hey, I can seriously wait for this new firmware 1.3, I understand any technical problems MS might be going through... Cheers!

Fyi, MajorNelson.com says the Maintenance Update is almost finished. They are still ironing out one issue before they turn everything back on.

@ Jonathan Broderick

There is no flaw in Vista an there is no fix. Its a load of BS spread by MS haters. It requires an audio file to be played on your computer with voice recognition on, while having your microphone close enough to get feedback from your speakers, and with you not noticing the commands being dictated out of your speakers. There is hardly any chance of all those conditions being met.

I think thats the flaw you are talking about.

Just called customer suppor, and they said the maintenance timeframe was 12-18 hours, which would put it back up at 7 pm PT at the latest.
