Songs + Details

Deterius · 01-14-2008, 06:57 PM

Hi guys!

I noticed that when I have songs or podcasts downloaded via the Zune software it can have quite long and detailed .. details.
However, when played on the zune, these details are cut off, does anyone know a way around this?

The reason I ask, its because I study languages, and pod casts are very useful. Often in the mp3's and podcasts have key words and dialogues so it would be very useful.
Thanks!

Sure, you can edit the Podcast Title simply by going to the podcast folder and finding the podcast you want to edit. Right click it and select properties. Click the 'Details' tab and at the top will be the title. You can edit it there. Be sure to click 'Apply'. Simply open the Zune software and the changes should be automatic. You may need to remove the podcast on your Zune device and then resync for the changes to occur on your Zune.

Hope that helps...

I believe ACE means in explorer, not in the zune software.

I have the exact same problem as the original poster. When you download or otherwise acquire a podcast for which the publisher did not create a description, the Zune will display "No description available" when you view the podcast. I have podcasts with titles that are 80-100 characters long, and the Zune won't display the entire thing, so you end up not being able to see most of the title.
What I and the OP are looking for is a way to enter a podcast description so that when it is synced to the Zune, you can view the description and see what is on the file. I've been trying for some time, and I just can't find a way to do this. If anyone has found a way around this, I would be very grateful.
