New Feature:
Error Report - If you've been experiencing problems with starting the game or browsing the artists this is for you. When you get an error your zune will restart like it would normally, but now the error should be saved onto a file on your zune. If the game crashes restart it and go into the Settings menu, there select the Errors option and the last error should be there (If you cant see the whole thing move it using the up/down keys), there you can either type it out or take a picture of it and post it here, and Ill see if i can figure out what went wrong

There has to be a way to exit a song while it's playing. Add hold to scroll fast, playing taking care of business on easy yielded 16 notes over the entire song... really boring...
The background needs work, it needs to be animated. Not much though, just add like 1 or 2 more sprites and it can look a lot better, especially to indicate speed and such
Also the volume keeps randomly changing when I hit a button, and only comes back up when I make a beat.
After playing a couple songs it start really lagging too, seems like a memory leak...

The volume is supposed to do that so that your not just listening to your music while playing ZuneHero; the volume going down when you miss a note and up when you hit one is the equivalent of the scratching noise when you miss a note in Guitar Hero.
LedZepp, I thought it was pretty good, but the note speed is way too fast, I suggest 1.4.

well, the volume going down would be better if it was less intense, after just missing one note it got so quiet I could barely hear the music
If you switch the hold on and off while playing it will take you to a pause screen, Ill change the speed and volume a little later, and Ill see what i can do about the backround
Very well done. The only thing i would suggest is allow for a little more tolerance of hitting notes after they pass the "frets". I found I had to press the notes before they passed the frets to hit them. Great job though!
Great graphics. The only complaint I have is that the game still laggs ith the notes a bit. Sometimes it corrects itself which is awesome and doesnt lag. If there is any way to fix this....also the notes sometimes come right on top of eachother which are hard to get them all. I am sure you are aware of the bigs and if they can be fixed it would make this game so much cooler. Thanks for your time,
