Ok, I tried this out.

Is it just me or is the Zune Marketplace horribly slow to refresh on page transitions?

OT question here: will the European version of Zune HD/software (when it comes out soon) feature DAB/DAB+ in place of HD Radio?

Eh, I don't really have anything to say about the Zune, seeing as I don't have one. No need, considering my Gen 3 iPod Nano works fine.

I just stick with whatever I have for as long as I can.

In any case, it does sound interesting.

Ah yes, the registry hacks. That'll upend the iTunes/iPod juggernaut.

The Zune's missing features are all in the iPods and iPhones.

Can someone help me with my Zune? It's still squirting itself at night.

Interesting..... there are several keys under Radio (107.7 The End, KEXP, National Public Radio) with entries for three internal image resources. Microsoft has something going on.

BTW, the Zune 4.0 software is 64-bit. Is iTunes 64-bit also?

>> BTW, the Zune 4.0 software is 64-bit. Is iTunes 64-bit also?

No, not yet. There is a 64-bit version for Windows, but only the drivers are 64-bit because Windows 64 cannot use 32-bit drivers.

Thanks GabeR ... I was just curious, being a software developer, I have an interest in such things.

This is a great find for those outside of the US and Canada.  Thanks goes out to Rafael (and Paul)!

"It's still squirting itself at night."

LOL !!!!!!!!!!

Can I plug a Zune in my Mac, here in Europe??

Oh, wait: you can't. It's not available for Macs and neither is it available in Europe.

Which is probably a good thing. I wouldn't want a piece of copied software on OSX. Neither would I want a company that has been found guilty by the EC of abusing their monopoly, for instance by stuffing outdated browsers (which IE8 still is) down our throats, on the European market.

At least iTunes and iPod Touch/iPhones work on Windows.

Can you guys say 'Zune Failure'?

@Logjammin(g)

I guess you're using a PowerPC Mac then?

A few comments:

@Logjamming - I wonder how you will respond when the beloved Apple is found guilty of monopolistic behaviour.  It's just business.  Push push push till you are told to slow it down.  Think to perhaps . . . Apple and the Google Voice issue.

@RobertsJoe - I too would like to see the Zune have a phone and camera built in, however it's just business.  Would you consider the iPods to be missing features since they don't have HD radio or a quality desktop software?  I mean really does anyone truely love iTunes.  It too has SOME great features, but it's slow and not very innovative.  There are some high quality media softwares out there.  

Bottom line for me - Don't Hate the Zune or iPod devices.  That said, the love affair with Apple needs to stop.  

Works fine.

@gadfly: "Can someone help me with my Zune? It's still squirting itself at night."

votre Zune ne fait mal? (That's the output of Google Translate)

You need to talk to your doctor about this.

@gundo I think iTunes is great, but I use it mostly on Mac's.  No software if perfect but I have never had a real problem with iTunes.

I also dont care for a radio.  The purpose of a media player is to play what I want, when I want commercial free.  If that were not the case then you would see lots of people with transistor radios.

I am not going to discount the radio all together as I am sure its probably very important to some.  I would say that I think given the choice, phone or radio that phone would win 90% of the time if not more.

The Zune software is very nice looking.  1000x better than version 1.0.  I do fin d if kind of confined, very forced in how you do things, but for what its supposed to do its very good.

Off topic but legitimate question.

Can anyone recommend Fax server software for Windows XP?  I need to setup a situation for three computers where any of the computers will be capable of sending faxes (from the same line).  If possible, it would be nice to email the required parties when a fax is received....either with a copy of the fax itself, or a notification that a fax has been received.  Does something like this exist or is there a better suggestion to achieve what I want?

All suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks!

I have used both, right fax is more Enterprise, it can cluster and such.  Both hook into Exchange, support DID etc.  Both really require a brooktrout card.....

Ok, so the Zune Marketplace gives an error at the end of the option to purchase points.  Whatever.  There might be a workaround to purchase stuff on Zune Marketplace:  use the other service that uses Microsoft Points - Xbox.  I'm going to try purchasing 500 Microsoft Points from the Xbox site and see if the credit works on the Zune Marketplace.  I'd really like to buy that new Doctor Who series (I'm a sci-fi buff) off of there because even big-box retailers charge about $90-120CDN for the DVD sets OF EACH SEASON (only 12-14 episodes each), as it's considered an import (even though the BBC partnered with the CBC for North American distribution).  Zune has it for ~$30 per season, AND they have the extra 2-hour special episodes included in the last season too.

I'll post my results.

"Can anyone recommend Fax server software for Windows XP?"

Windows XP Pro already has faxing capabilities.  Share the fax printer driver and you're set, with no extra expense.

Zune Marketplace refuses items to be purchased from outside of the US, regardless of MS point credits on the account.

I can't install Zune 4.0 on a fully updated Windows XP SP3 Pro N. It tells me that a required update is required even after all the updates are installed.

Anyone know what could be causing this?
