audiobugWhile your music is playing in the New Zune Marketplace, click this little icon in the bottom right corner.  It's an awesome feature that just makes this new software that much more appealling!  Dang MS!  You're really WOWing me!  What do you guys think?

I did that it just keeps giving me the same error. I checked in the forums and I see no solution.
Guest User   | 84.81.221.xxx | 2007-11-13 22:43:33
woow, it's really great when you have party at your home and put this on your tv screen so everybody is able to see the song title and stuff like that
Guest User   | 141.31.178.xxx | 2007-11-13 23:19:06

Guest User   | 62.164.253.xxx | 2007-11-13 23:42:33

ABOSOLUTELY HATE IT WITH A PASSION
DELETED ALL OF MY MUSIC AUTOMATICALLY
CLICKED ON DEVICE, BOOM CLEARED

NICE DEVICE, HORRIBLE SOFTWARE
Brianlikeszune   | 24.197.219.xxx | 2007-11-14 02:10:56
Try this if it still doesnt work after restarting the software and computer.
1) Uninstall all zune software on your computer.
2) X out of all programs besides the setup
3) CTRL ALT DLT, and make sure your processors not going haywire with programs.
4) Start the software, and dont touch anything till its completely installed.
5) Try again

Most of the time the problem lies within the install. Just let it load up like usual, and if it still doesnt work, contact me.

I love the new zune software i think now it will be my main default media player instead of j river media center =]
Guest User   | 63.228.6.xxx | 2007-11-14 03:26:20
sweetness...all the albums together...thats really creative...no itunes can do that!!!
Kevin   | 69.219.142.xxx | 2007-11-14 04:04:57
It needs more functionality. I should be able to click an album in the background and play that and interact with it.
Guest User   | 76.30.87.xxx | 2007-11-14 04:26:04
pretty cool but does it have a toolbar or mini mode option - that would be awesome if there was one
wetworker   | 99.234.141.xxx | 2007-11-14 04:41:53
kool, 2 bad u can't change albums in that view
Guest User   | 67.191.48.xxx | 2007-11-14 06:11:33
Why did it erase all my music? Every time I put a album in and erase it in the collection library next time I plug in the Zune it automatically erases that album. It erased 125 albums soon as I plugged it in. This sucks. Any help?
Jzune   | 68.26.183.xxx | 2007-11-14 06:34:53
Whoa! They totally blew my mind. I love the new zune software and the update for the 30g zune is like having a brand new device!!
Guest User   | 190.16.145.xxx | 2007-11-14 20:15:31
If you are getting the "cant find watson installer package" this is what you need to do:
1- download the software to your computer (do the save as option)
2- once it is downloaded, right click the file and open file with winzip or winrar...
3- go into packages and click zuneinstaller.msi (the one that doesn't have a language name in it)

hope this helps!

[smiley=cool] oh wow im very impressed with that fucntion

TIPS:
put your taskbar on autohide and see it in full view!
Zune User   | 71.250.28.xxx | 2007-11-14 23:39:57
OOo a random album arts in the background changes every 5 seconds
Guest User   | 69.205.30.xxx | 2007-11-14 23:51:46
THATS AWESOME. i wish it had a mini mode too though.

Go to settings>device>reserved space, now set that to zero
What may have happened is that your zune was to full and the program realized that you exceeded your 1% reserved space so it had to delete some music to make up for it.

I hate the new software.

playlists are a hassle now.

It deleted or mislabeled about 70% of my music and turned a lot of tracks into 30 second demos.

Have you gone to the forums.zune.net? They already have fixes for this issue. I did the fix and no more issues...[smiley=wink][/color]
Guest User   | 68.126.242.xxx | 2007-11-15 06:12:07
Software bites the big C. Can't even change album data. I have duplicate song entries and all my jazz albums are under "Van Halen".
Guest User   | 70.130.151.xxx | 2007-11-18 18:06:37
The new zune software is the worst thing i think I have ever used!
Everything is such a hassle.
You can't even click on the albums anymore to change information!
I can't find half my music because it's in some random band folder that the Zune just decided to put it in!
Even if I go into the location folder it says it's right but the Zune just doesn't understand.
It's also screwed up almost half of the album art I have!
Is there anyway just to switch back to the old one?
Guest User   | 67.177.193.xxx | 2007-11-23 06:17:30
i cant stand the new software!!! how about some functionality before looks!!! i bought this zune to escape apple and the new software has me wishin for itunes! at least itunes lets me edit my track information. i have two different bands that came in as unknown artist but i cant edit each of them seperately. are u kidding me?!?!? give me the old version of zune. hey microsoft...if it aint broke, dont fix it!!!!
Guest User   | 68.5.99.xxx | 2007-12-14 05:44:52
[color=#FF0000]Inter
face looks cool but this thing has totally screwed up my music collection. Most of my songs are mislabeled (I click on AudioSlave and Bright Eyes comes up), some songs were turned into 30 demos, and my Windows Media Player can't find or play any of my music.[smiley=sad][/color]

I can't believe this made it through QA.
Guest User   | 71.228.183.xxx | 2007-12-18 19:10:14
I miss the old software.[smiley=sad]
