Old Zune WILL have all of the New Zune's features! Yep you heard me right, when the new Zune 80 is released, Microsoft will release a new firmware for the Old Zune 30 as well. Then the Zune 30s will have the same menu screen, same wifi- sync, same new codec support etc as the Zune 80. Now THAT is what i called awsome customer service, unlike those fruity guys.don't beleive me? http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/zune/firstgen-zune-getting-all-the-new-features-this-is-how-you-treat-your-customers-306422.php Old Zune WILL have all of the New Zune's features!

I just got new firmware 2.2 on my zune30! it was free!i was amazed.....if you don't have it yet, you should get it as soon as possible.

Same here, but what exactly is going to be different? Will "PlaysforSure" be coming? I know they are planning on updating the Zune PC software as well, but I have no idea what to expect.

I have not yet received my Zune, but when I do where do I get the upgrade to the firmware

The new firmware has some bugs that can potentially scramble your music collection. If they happens, you'll might need to format your Zune and rebuild your music library to fix the problem. You might want to wait for a patch for that problem before you install it.

the 2.2 software is an excellent upgrade. i like the superior integration of podcast in the PC software and zune.to the problems with the library above: that was an issue for some (i didn't have any problems by telling the software to rebuild the info during load), to correct afterwards only required the deletion of the zune specific file folder with the information contained and allowing the information to be rebuilt with the new software. instructions can be found in the microsoft zune support, or knowlege base.

I'm looking to purchase a Zune. If I buy the old Zune 30 after the new Zune 80 hits the market, is the new firmware still free from Microsoft?

Good. I just ordered the 30g Zune for myself. I'm anxiously waiting to see and try it. for christmas

I am planning to buy an iPod, not for a fashion statement, but because everything out for docking, etc., comes for iPod. I already own a very modest, 4-year-old .mp3 player by Creative Labs, but I wanted something bigger with video, etc., so I am planning on iPod. I do have the itunes concern, though. Is Zune by Creative Labs?

Yep, it suppose to. Check with the seller to make sure it has one, cause zune stuff is getting harder and harder to find. Its AMAZING no else even tried to compete with Apple except mircosoft.

CarPlay is not out yet, still waiting for the firmware upgrade. Maybe they were waiting for the new iPhones to come out. The 8000nex is a sweet unit, I love it!!!!

i have Xp media center edition on my PC i need Media CEnter 2005 for ZUne right? and how do i get that man? as well i need to know movies on zune?

ya from what i've read they should work with all old equipment, and old zunes will work with new accessories.

The Zune has a 60mb version, I saw it at Walmart, I don't know if it's 60mb exactly but it's a small portable Zune.Besides the Zune has just came out, you can't expect it to have all the models that the Ipod already has.

Thanks so much for your post.Yes,it was helpful,thank you.I've heard other good things about Zune too,so I'm seriously considering buying one.

I like it very much. If you have any questions about it, just let me know. The do post firmware upgrades frequently. I had upgraded to the latest, but had to roll back as there was a bug in that update where it quit playing my protected wma files. I put an issue in their bug tracker and they said they'd resolve the issue soon. But I really haven't found the need to upgrade the firmware anyway.

You may be able to restart it. If you still have the instructions see which two buttons to press or look them up on google search. The Zune 80G gave me all kinds of problems so I know how fustrating it is to own one. I eventuall had to buy a Sansa Fuze and retire my Zune.

Have you been able to find any more suggestions on a frozen zune? I have tried your ideas, but it's still frozen. I would appreciate any more info you might have to offer.Thanks!

You are welcome, and I should clarify a little bit. The zune subscription allows you to download any song you want to listen to and sync to your zune every month, and you get to keep 10 songs per month (you just "buy" them with your credits.) As long as you keep the subscription, those millions of songs you download to sync to your zune will be playable/syncable. The 10 songs you "buy" with your credits are yours to keep forever. :)

I had a Ipod and also an 80 zune, I enjoyed my zune until it broke and i couldnt get it fix. ipod was ok, but zune is alittle better. i wish my zune didnt freakin break.

It's funny that we're not getting the same arguement over all the other media players out there. There's players from Sandisk, Toshiba and Creative that are getting less attention. Could it just be a little of the PC vs Mac war spilling over? Hell, most posters have only 'heard' from someone else that the Zune sucks without seeing it firsthand. I love the iPod but I'm gonna check out the Zune for myself before I comment. I recommend all other intelligent posters do the same and there's not need to remind them.

This was my biggest beef. For such an expensive item and in todays world we should be able to get firmware updates. I am not aware of any way to update the firmware. I hope someone can prove me wrong. I do own it despite my concern.

Got my Zune yesterday and I'm having the exact same problem. I hope one of us can figure it out and post a solution here!

Actually, in response to my other question, nevermind. I found through Yahoo! Answers the "secret" to making YouTube videos Zune compatible. I've followed it with zero problems, and now I've got some kickass music videos on my Zune. :)For anybody interested in the tutorial, you have to visit:http://www.zunescene.com/forums/index.php?topic=4946.0I swear, this is the absolute most helpful little thing I've found related to the Zune to date. :)
