The Power of the Boken Heart [Auto-Delete on Your Zune!!]

ACE · 06-22-2008, 11:18 AM

Who said a broken heart was bad? I mean sure in relationships, they can suck, but Zune has turned this idea functional! When you fall out of love with a song, it takes but a quick broken heart to remove it from your Zune device for good. It's that easy!

First, go to Settings in the Zune Software, click 'device' and choose the menu 'Sync Options'.

This screen, you may remember, allows you to choose what gets automatically sunc (or sync'd?) to your Zune.
There's a new option (I don't remember before the 2.5 update) that tells the software to not sync broken hearted items.

Check the box, and everytime you rate a song on the Zune device as a broken heart (simply click the center button when listening to a song for the menu), the very next time you sync it up, it will be removed automatically!

I can't count the number of times I've heard a song from a downloaded playlist and just hated it, and I would completely forget to delete it the next time I was in the Software, but this cool little feature helps tremendously!

Just another cool little wrinkle that makes Zune fun!

That is neat sauce right there.

yeah but it would still be a lot more helpful if there was just a delete button on the zune itself, since i dont plug my zune into the computer everyday

I agree with ZuneSkier, but this is a nice feature, nontheless.

On another note, did anyone else notice that "Broken" is spelled "Boken" in the topic of this thread?

Shh, don't tell ACE

I don't think he knows yet.

It's a nice feature, I just have my "matts music" autoplaylist set to not syncing broken hearts, so it works pretty much the same. The abilty to delete content off the zune itself would be nice though.
