Zune Boards - View Single Post

I am crossing my fingers for some software fixes. Some of the problems I've encountered that is driving me crazy:

1: Zune seems to have a problem dealing with my ID3 tags. It will recognize the tags correctly on the Zune software and even show up correctly on the Zune when browsing through the software, but when viewed on the Zune itself the tracks split up into two identically named albums.
For example: If I browsed by artist and selected "Some Random Band" I would see doubles of one or two albums in that library. About half of the tracks would go into one album while the rest would go into the double. This totally sucks and Zune support was not able to help me with this.

2: Zune's automatic ID3 tag update will change the tags of some of my mp3's into something that is entirely not correct. This feature has been turned off but it would be nice to have an option to automatically download just the album art. Speaking of which...

3: The "Edit Album Info" option in the software has not been updating the cover image as it is supposed to lately.

4: I have the Zune software directed towards a specific MP3 library that is not in "My Documents" so I turned off all of the default file paths and added the folders that I wanted it to sync to in the options. What is weird is that it still grabs random albums from My Documents/My Music anyway. I have no idea why it does this but I deleted the album from my library multiple times and have reinstalled three times. Just weird.

And minor requests:

5: Ability to use the Zune as an external hard drive?

6: Lefty Support!

7: AVI/Divx. Windows Encoder 9 works for this so it's low priority for me.

8: Ability to use something other than the default brown, grey or blue blob themes for albums without artwork. Being able to use our own image for the background is great, but why can't we change this as well?

I love the Zune itself but it's software is just killing me.
