* We’re fixing the skipping problem that some users were experiencing – that is, content acquired from Zune Marketplace will no longer skip when played on the device. * Improved device and software reliability, when it comes to device detection, and improved sync'ing. * We’ve made some changes to the FM Tuner so it no longer drains the battery when in sleep mode.

It seems to work well. I don't sense any skipping, and it seems to make everything just a tad snappier.

I don't notice any difference. I hope they will make Zune work with avi files, or have some games for it in the future.

 

[rockin_amigo14]

if the Zune didn't need transcoding for videos, I'd buy one in a second.

 

[ttnl]

amigo, I have a ZVM too, but I think I made the right choice with Zune. The SQ is much better, and the Zune looks much more sturdy. The video transcode is not that bad. I use WinAvi and I takes me about 35 min to transcode a 1 hr movie. You can just leave your computer to do the transcode while you work on something else.

Still no audiobook bookmarking support. I hope they will have it soon so I can sell my iPod Nano.

Is the zune really that much better sounding than the ZV:M?? I have a ZV:M ( I use the EQ) and it sounds amazing...When you guys talk about SQ, are you referring to it with the EQ on??

 

[Ricardo Dawkins]

EQ off as none. There are 7 EQ presets and "None" is one of 'em.

 

[wgr73]

So you guys are saying "it sounds great" when the EQ is OFF! Ok.

are you implying that it will only sound good if it has EQ enabled?

i dont own a zune, but i've read that the EQ doesnt cause distortion, so you're in luck
