I'm scared. Have you installed yet? I'll probably give it week or so to see what the zune nerds say. As of now, i have the software running just the way i want it and i dont want this update to screw it all up.

Install that patch, delete from directory. Youre going to need this for the occasional duplicate entries that you cant get rid of (!!!!) through the software as well.

I believe there will be a tool of some sorts that will add this unless I misread that thread:

I believe that is the podcast's rss feeds fault. If you right click the picture with the yellow ! mark and choose error details it should tell you why its failing.

Actually, that happened to me all the time. So at least that's fixed.

I can't install this at all. I tried a larger Zune install that Microsoft has which should've worked but I still get a shit ton of errors. I was hoping a new install would solve the unknown problems I had with the old software where it wouldn't play files with DRM. I can't even uninstall the old software because of a fatal error.

What OS?

Their software isn't buggy. The issue is that it's quite limited in what it lets you do. Compared to iTunes it's so hard to edit data, but that's about it. Otherwise it has FOLDER MONITORING, which means it's better than iTunes by about 359786954x

Please, for the love of God, give me gapless playback on my Zune. Its the only reason I haven't retired the ipod.

XP Pro, SP2 I think... What's strange is that things seem to be fine on my other computer with the same OS.

So yeah, I just installed this and now everytime I open Zune it crashes. WTF
Edit: After pressing the debug button it seems to be working now. >_>
