Totally awesome, I just got some zune and noticed some severe problems. Most of them are solved in this update! Happy me.

How to update when you don't have Dr Watson ? (there is an error)
j - Problem   | 83.20.199.xxx | 2008-05-06 10:10:57
No matter what i try it still says that my software is up to date (it's 2.3). Neither zune software nor the setup from zune.net can find new firmware for me. What to do?
Belthur   | 216.235.192.xxx | 2008-05-06 10:32:06
I updated and the feature set is nice..but I am unable to see gapless playback option yet either on the device or the software
Die-NastY - Problem   | 190.4.138.xxx | 2008-05-06 10:32:50
Yea, I'm getting the same problem as J...
I let the zune software update it and I got and error, sending me to the Microsoft site to download the setup manually. After the download finished, it told me I'm up to date(version 2.3)

It's not an option, if the album is encoded without gaps, it's now played back without gaps.

YES! Built in Metatagging. HOLLER at the video section (and click edit on a video.)
ghostz   | 76.83.37.xxx | 2008-05-06 11:27:47
yea right after the program stopped picking up my zune and the windows uninstaller program sucks i cant uninstall the program because it says populating list and takes forever
Mitch   | 137.104.249.xxx | 2008-05-06 14:12:44
That's what happens when you have alot of shit on your computer.
TurboFool - Built-in metatagging     | 216.140.144.xxx | 2008-05-06 11:53:38
Well, the built-in metatagging is a massive and needed improvement. Now if only they would add in support for converting from more formats, since most of my videos are still NOT in WMV.
Anonymous   | 72.76.238.xxx | 2008-05-06 12:55:37
so there is only a software update? no zune player update?
Mark   | 24.205.233.xxx | 2008-05-06 13:09:46
nope there's a player update as well. Does the gapless playback and shows friends' zune cards.
pj.paito - Update 2.5     | 142.46.130.xxx | 2008-05-06 13:06:20
Canadians can now sign up major w00t!

Anonymous - Yes this is a software & firmware update.
Mitch   | 137.104.249.xxx | 2008-05-06 14:14:06
Another thing I just noticed with the update is while listening to music on your computer if you have the Zune program minimized instead of saying Zune in the Taskbar it cycles the artist, song and album
Anonymous   | 71.77.11.xxx | 2008-05-06 15:25:24
finally we can sort our vids into categories. I absolutly love this update!
NightFire   | 75.43.59.xxx | 2008-05-06 15:49:05
Just a FYI: Noticed that Windows Update
also had the update on there, so maybe that'll help a few people out.
Epoc - WTF!?!?!   | 64.223.106.xxx | 2008-05-06 18:03:22
I just updated and am angry to anounce, the costom background hack was fixed!!! besides that, I havn't found a problem...
Anonymous   | 72.147.18.xxx | 2008-05-07 07:15:26
my custom background wasn't fixed with the update. Maybe you should just add it again
Wrestlerby2010 - Startin To Feel Disappointed   | 76.236.187.xxx | 2008-05-06 18:12:02
Has anyone had any problems with the zune software not recognizing the zune device but your computer recognizes the zune device?
blklight   | 76.192.70.xxx | 2008-05-10 16:34:53
i have that exact same problem. it's like WTF!!! i'm so pissed cuz i was bout to put games into it and then it decided to not recognize the zune
ghostz   | 76.83.37.xxx | 2008-05-06 18:26:56

rsuave07   | 71.77.11.xxx | 2008-05-06 19:23:35
does the HD hack still work?
UberTerence - Impossible Update   | 74.4.65.xxx | 2008-05-06 21:46:16
After downloading the update, it gets to about 2% and has a fatal error with a link to microsofts site. Anyone have any idea what to do? Zune will not update at all. -_-
Zuner   | 76.23.42.xxx | 2008-05-06 22:38:25
I love that from watching a TV Show, when you click, you now have the option to see the other episods in the series, and once watched the TV episode goes grey, like a podcast. Also the TV plays gapless, when an episode finishes, it automatically goes to the next. A Lot of video type updates, very needed.

don't come on a zune website to argue with us. zunes are much better than your ipod crap and eveyone on here would agree. and you won't win any arguments here b*!ch
kikouss   | 81.19.14.xxx | 2008-05-07 10:26:15

copa   | 87.234.42.xxx | 2008-05-08 05:57:27
If you cant update, then go to Zune.net and download the whole package.
That worked for me (in germany)
MarkinStLouis   | 70.12.137.xxx | 2008-05-07 15:58:37
At least there is a "play all" feature in podcasts. Now, if only I could add them to playlists...
jt - for the people who cant instal   | 67.167.101.xxx | 2008-05-07 17:02:55
use winrar to open the exe file and extract the bigger exe in the folder called "packages" run the exe and it'll install, all this does is get around the fancy zune install screen that only causes problems
Meerak - zune problem   | 72.51.102.xxx | 2008-05-09 06:42:09

I tried installing it and reinstalling it and still the same problem.... no connection.....does anyone here have any ideas that could help me out?
supapeach   | 71.34.84.xxx | 2008-05-10 00:36:02
still needs avi/divx support
Anonymous   | 75.7.248.xxx | 2008-05-10 08:26:38
I am also getting a problem with the new software update. The error says Setup must stop because the required package 'Zune' didn't install. Fatal error during installation.

Well, I have tried everything their support suggested, including extracting, which takes be to the last step at 100%, then fails.

Anyone have any ideas?
Anonymous   | 99.237.113.xxx | 2008-05-10 20:43:04
