The more popular bands have them right now, and the Zune Team is rolling out more every so often. I noticed most of my music right at the start didn't do it, but this week, most of them do now. Soon, more and more bands will have this feature so sit tight and keep on playing...

I noticed that it takes 1 minute 30 seconds for the zune screen saver to kick in and then another 30 seconds before the pictures start to kick in.

I thought it was pretty cool the first time.

Just play the song, click the tiny album art on the bottom, wait for like 5 seconds, 10sec max for a 5 year old computer, and the artist screensaver will kick in. The screensaver only disappears if you go back to the zune software home

Hey Brian- if you just click on the now playing button in the lower right, it goes to the slideshow deal instead of waiting for 1.5 mins.

This is perfect for those people that spend night after night searching allmusic.com with windows media player open trying to learn every detail about the music flowing through their speakers.

Good show Zune, good show.
