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

When Zune 4.8 came out, the ability to see the current and upcoming songs in the Zune toolbar view went away. If this functionality can be reinstated, that would be great. I am aware that the functionality remains in the mini player, but that takes up space on the screen; the toolbar minimization is very convenient because it blends in with existing screen real estate, but the inability to view what song I am listening to and what songs that are coming up negates the usefulness of it. Please bring this feature back! A number of people have already suggested it on this thread. Thanks!

Zune PC app screenshots should show the correct orientation, landscape or regular. I can't imagine there is any common sense in this design. I have pretty much stopped buying apps because the experience is so bad. Yes, between the browsing of apps and having to specify that you want to see all apps, and havng to start the app search process from the top when you back out of the previous viewed app, it is a pretty bad experience. I am not experiencing this on apple or android marketplace. I bet you could find many people who would say this is one reason they are not jumping on the windows phone bandwagon. When I demonstrated the marketplace with other techies at work they laughed when they realized I had to to start the app search at the top of the list everytime :(

I am a developer with MSDN and use Windows Server 2008 R2 so I can have 64bit HyperV's to match our production servers for development and testing. Since Zune is required for WP7 phone updates, this means that I need a dedicated physical PC with Windows 7 just to update my WP7 to Mango (7.5). This is really annoying and inconvenient. Has anyone tried RemoteFX USB redirection to a HyperV Win7 VM with WP7? All I want is to update to Mango.

A good thing for the market place would be to decide which languages you would like to see, for example, i do not need to see apps in arabic nor chinese. another thing, i would like to know with the info, name of app and the name of maker, and in which country was the app originated from.

I want to be able to listen to, pause, and restore my Podcasts on my Zune device (will require wireless sync), my PC, and my Xbox just like I can Netflix, OneNote, etc. Cloudify my Podcasts!
