Honestly, not much at all since it first came out lol... Like I said though, it ain't really an issue for me. I totally understand that a lot of folks are hung up on that, I ain't knocking them for being dumbasses about something so insignificant. The gap isn't that pronounced on Zunes, point blank. It ain't gapless, but it ain't as big of a deal as it was on the ipod before gapless playback was added.

Advanced Tag Editing. I haven't updated my iTunes in ages, so if they now have better tagging capabilities, good for them, about time.

Senseless consumers, more concerned about having the latest Mac device more than anything else. I've already touched on this though. Millions of customers doesn't necessarily = better product. Janey even owned an ipod before and took that shit back...lol...

Dude, that's my whole point. Why do I need to transfer pics from my camera to my media player?? I got a 4gb SD Card on my camera son! When will I every NOT be close enough to a computer to get them pics off the SD card and transfer them to my Zune if I need them on there? That is a device that really had no point of existance. Live recording?? REAL musicians use professional equipment. Ipod is not professional equipment. I mean, i see your point, but what it boils down to is that 99.9% of those add-ons are useless junk designed to take your loot. Peep game dawg. Peep.

>>>-Able to be used as a portable hard drive

I don't have to hack it, i just have to transfer it through Windows Explorer instead of the Zune desktop software. Again, I touched the whole portable hard drive stuff above somewhere.

If i'm not mistaken, the whole term Fanboy is a derivative of mac fanaticism no? MS already straight said they are not interested in Mac heads with the Zune. The Zune is for folks that well, aren't full Mac heads. I dig mac products. But I dig MS products a little more. Plain and simple...so yeah, MS fanboy..i'll be that.

>>>-Rentals from iTunes store

>You can put those on Zune?

Fuck I want to watch a HD movie on my Zune for?? Within 24 hours???? If my attention span won't allow me to download a movie, sit my ass on my couch and watch it then and there...then I got other issues to deal with. That's a dumb gimmic. Who the hell starts watching a movie, in the comfort of their own home, all booed up, and then 45 mins in decides "Shit, this would be WAAAAY more enjoyable to watch in the pissy ass subway on my lil ass ipod screen while looking over my shoulder so I don't get jacked." C'mon dawg...that feature is nails... Movies I own and rip can indeed be played on my Zune though.
