I've even heard of people praising the device, but end up returning it because of the software. I want a Zune really bad, but if the software is as bad as people say it is, I might have to go for an iPod classic...

me personally i hate the zune software, i cant wait till pity gets off his ass and perfects the zalternator to work with itunes... then i can purge that godawful software from my system for good...

the new software is way better than the other one before it is and i like the way you sync the content on it

Personally i think the new software is pretty crap. I liked the old software, nice and simple, microsoft should have kept it with the wmp-type look.

lol, it is a tad slow, that's 4 sure. But idk, for some reason I never liked the zune software v1...

The shiny, fairly intuitive beautiful UI is lost upon the sea of utter despair and frusturation when you find that your carefully labeled songs are as mislabeled as your grandma's generic spice rack.

I have owned 2 Sansas = Chevy Impala, 1 Ilo (Walmart) = Yugo, 1 Creative Zen V Plus = Lexus, and my prize a Zune 30= Rolls Royce. As awesome as the player is the software is equally crappy.
Nonintuitve, rotten playlist support, terrible sound and video quality (on the pc), slow, buggy and an incredible resource hog I still put up with it because even though it is like having to get into the Rolls through the tailpipe once you start driving you almost forget what you went through to get there.

Lol, well I kind of agree, I have no idea why, but I like it a lot more than the old software... although, I've never synced anything(being I have no zune) So I can't be sure...

nathanlawliet · 02-23-2008, 09:42 AM

Hmm.. You've never experienced it's annoyingness then I presume.

If you did, you'd hate it like everyone else.

georgexx316@hotmail.com · 02-23-2008, 10:26 AM

dude, it is bad, but Not that bad.

If you just put the zune software on guest mode, no problem would happen.ppl r just too stupid... people who hate Zune is either 1) too picky, like nothing suits them, and 2) employed by Apple to ruin zune's image.

koty183 · 02-23-2008, 10:48 AM

All those things look to be from the old software.... the new software has its flaws, but it is okay.... its not the best, but in a choice between the new zune software, and the new iTunes, I would go with zune.... and it sucks for me, because i have a macbook pro and have to use iTunes.... my PC is zune all the way though...

You should be. Of course, you could like, use zAlternator.. I mean seriously, don't use the damn software. Use zAlternator and Windows Media Player 11. I'm never syncing with the ZS again until they fix it.

And I get a new power supply so my PC doesn't crash when I connect a self-powered usb hub
