Just updating mine now.

luskae · 05-31-2007, 09:38 AM

stupid shuffle support

Aden · 05-31-2007, 09:46 AM

Yer i cant believe it, maybe its more format support, i will try any file types that anyone uploads for me, and i will see if they work.

luskae · 05-31-2007, 09:46 AM

dont know how to do that or i would try and help

Aden · 05-31-2007, 09:52 AM

Ok, well avi still no support.

Well, to be perfectly honest.

Dont update.

All we have got is "more random shuffles" and a faster interface.

If you have lots of pictures, update, the interface for browsing pictures is much faster.

If you dont use many pictures, do you use the shuffle function often, Yes - then update, No - Dont bother.

Basically we have 2 features, shuffle and interface.
Not a noticable difference and a letdown from MS.

DISAPPOINTED.

Oooh, found that radio is working better here in the uk and actually finding station information and track info. Yay! i hate the radio. this helped loads.

Marshillboy · 05-31-2007, 10:51 AM

I just got the update as well, what's going on here? Bad news folks: Nothing was added in this update.

Zune Firmware 1.4 is out, but nothing new.

After waiting frantically for June 1st, today, 31st May we discover at zuneboards that Firmware 1.4 is out. Instantly we all start trying to update. Some with success, others with failure. No more information on the update on Microsofts website or Zune.net but it is definately out.
Here it is on my zune:

So what is new you ask? Maybe wireless downloads or new wi-fi capability we have all been waiting for. Well, a nice and simple answer. No.
We havn't got this, but we have got an improved shuffle engine, to make songs more random, and the interface seems much faster.
Anything else? No thats about it. What we wanted to be released never came, or we are still waiting for. What we dont need we have and there is nothing else we can do except wait until tomorrow, June 1st to see if Microsoft has anything up their sleaves.

Aden.

Starting a test for zune charge, because i think it is faster in 1.4

luskae · 05-31-2007, 11:53 AM

1.4 is kind of a waste except for the interface being faster
Edit: i would agree i think that it does charge faster with 1.4

Link to my progress on firmware 1.4

Maybe they found a security bug/exploit and decided to patch it?

Fez · 05-31-2007, 12:11 PM

It has sped it up considerably,
My zune is filled up to the max with music and it used to make me wait a while, whenever i selected a particular artist, to show the songs...but now its near instantaneous its very good coz i used to get sick of waiting for those 3-4 seconds.
