I suggest to sticky this thread! here are my suggests between zune and windows phone: see new apps like top app list and if u click u can see lot of new apps order lists by genre, date, price... see the download, install and sync status of an app see the apps installed in my phone and here about zune: In playlist view a now playng voice that easy help us manage playlists and now playng songs in playlist and now playng edit details voice for id3tags without go to collection Auto convert id3 tags to filename and viceversa Sync with a usb thumb drive (like media player) not only with microsoft devices and burner Save and read playlists in .m3u too that are universal without it's too complicate manage playlist between more softwares and devices Show duplicate files in a playlist and if there are in another playlist too

Is microsft plugging the wires OFF the Zune Software development. There has not been much happening in that department for quite some time. I also hear that Microsoft might dump Zune for a more competitive cloud service named Microsoft Ventura? Really? Funny you should post this. I was just thinking yesterday that, with MS not doing any updates or upgrades to the Zune software, despite hundreds of feature requests and some other known issues, it wouldn't surprise me that they simply abandoned the Zune altogether. If they do, my hope would be that they'd at least be smart enough to sell the division off at a reasonable enough price so that the new owners would have enough left in the tank for proper development of both the software and the player. Don't think it'll happen, though.

I posted this elsewhere, but it was suggested I place it here. ============================================================== Maybe this is in Marketplace Picks somewhere, but I haven't found it. The main Pick feature I would like (and it seems so obvious and easy to implement that I can't believe it hasn't been done) is: "Recent releases from artists who have songs I've rated as 'Like' " That list, ordered by release day, would be perfect (and really, really simple to implement). That, combined with Smart DJ should keep me in plenty of music with the minimum of work on my part. All of the other Picks seem pretty useless to me.

Title: A setting to download podcasts in sequence? I wish there was a setting for downloading podcasts that would let you download podcasts in a sequence instead of trying to download them all at once.This would allow me to start to view the first downloaded casts while the others are downloading.

I would love to see the shuffle feature and the rating system linked. For example, favorited songs have a 20% more chance of being randomly played over a non-favourited song.

Title: Feature Request "Download Artist's Albums" link. I would like a button in the Zune Windows application that I can click on when I find an artist I like that downloads all of their full studio releases and/or all of their music including singles, b-sides, etc (without the duplicate albums). Maybe further menus could offer radio hits or other suggestions. I do this often and it's a hassle picking through their albums and clicking download especially when they have 10 or more. It's made even worse when there are three of the same album some with remixes, others with extended tracks.
