Well I got a new 80g zune a few months ago. The only problem I had was this.
if i have a cd that has songs featuring another artist, it will make a separate folder for each featured artist. for instance i have a compalation drum and bass cd from AK1200. every song on the album is with him and another DJ. So the zune software made 15 different albums.

This does 2 REALLY annoying things. the first thing is when you are looking through your zune if you are on artist, it will have all the folders with ak1200.

example

instead of being...

(artist)
(artist)
(artist)
ak1200
(artist)
(artist)

i get this...

(artist)
(artist)
ak1200
ak1200 featuring dj whatever1
ak1200 featuring dj whatever2
ak1200 featuring dj whatever3
ak1200 featuring dj whatever4
ak1200 featuring dj whatever5
ak1200 featuring dj whatever6
(artist)
(artist)

Not think about your CD collection. pretty much every CD i have has a few songs that feature different artist. so my zune makes a new folder for every artist. this is the worste with all my eminem albums. i have a LOT of undergound eminem stuff thats all featuring different artist so when you are in my zune looking under "artist" im litterally scrolling through eminem featuring ... for like 45 seconds.

the second problem with this is that you cant listen to a whole cd then. if you go to the artist and then go to the cd you want, all those songs that feature an artist are in seperate folders. theres no way to listen to a full cd without finding all the songs on the zune in the different folders.

So update 3.1 comes out and i get this great idea. im going to erase everything on the zune. so i erase everything, update to 3.1 and now NOTHING will sync.

so i download some new music and its only downloading the new stuff and about 130 artist of old stuff. So it IS syncing some old. so now when i sync it syncs any new stuff i downloaded and when it tries to sync the rest of the old stuff it says "syncing 6391 items" then when its done says "not added 6391 items" and the error is file not found.

I have tried taking off the automatic sync, doing it manually, dragging and dropping folders and files into the zune screen, hitting the little "restore deleted items" button in the settings. EVERYTHING. What am i missing? im about to throw this thing away and buy a new ipod...
