Just to mention, the 120GB doesn't come with the "premium" headphones like the 80GB did, so expect the usual craptastic quality stock type buds

I know, I've no idea why though :confused:

I've got some Klipsch Custom 1's that were on offer from amazon for £18

Also planning to get a headphone amp, which improves the SQ, bass and mids (http://mp4nation.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_45&products_id=261) :cool:

The 120GB retails for the same amount the 80GB used to. They had to cut something <shrugs>

30gb Zune Hard Freeze

So, I was grabbing my Zune from my desk to day to go to work... What's this? Zune logo and nothing going on... It's charged all the way and I'm like wth... But, with no time to search, I go to work, moody due to no music, and work... Get home, and it shows no charge... Wth, it had a full charge... So, I put it on the USB, and it shows low charge and charging.. then the Frozen Zune screen...

Google shows me that there is a problem with the 30gb Zune because of the new year

Then going to Zune.net, it shows:

Customers using the Zune 30 might experience problems starting their players. We’re aware of the problem and are working to correct it. The Zune Social might be slow or inaccessible. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!:

So, if your 30gb, like mine, isn't working right now... Thank their software making! :roll:

JrRacinFan · Dec 31, 2008

Thanks Cold Storm!!!!

I was just about to post that for you guys. How many of you experienced it?

Cold Storm · Dec 31, 2008

I have, and been MOODY all day! Bit the head off my supervisor to where she was in tears... Music calms me down so much at work... Since I hear something other then my day! :roll:

Darknova · Dec 31, 2008

Same thing here. I've found hundreds of reports. It's affecting ALL 30Gb Zunes on 3.1, but from what I can tell, people on older firmware (I think 2.5 and older, might include 3.0, not sure) are unaffected.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Dec 31, 2008

Got a Zune 4GB for Christmas. Sign me up. Ill post everything up a bit later.

Edit: Okay here is my info:

Device: Zune 4gb (black)
Zune Pass: Yes (redemption card)
Favorite Album: Ozzy Osbourne - Down to Earth and Metallica - Death Magnetic

Cold Storm · Dec 31, 2008

I could never use Zune's software without updating... So had to go 3.0... or is it 3.1... I don't know.. But, I'm a sad man right now... lol

Darknova · Dec 31, 2008

It's 3.1 at the moment.

I've even reformatted my 30 and reinstalled the firmware about 4 times. Unfortunately because the Zune software doesn't 100% uninstall I can't get an older version to install to get an older firmware to see if that will fix it.

Yeah... MY computer won't even pick it up.. So I'm SOL

Take the zune apart, disconnect the battery, reconnect then QUICKLY (before the loading bar comes up) press back, left and centre, puts it into recovery mode, then you can get it seen by Zune so you can wipe and recover the firmware.

Oh and this goes out to everyone, if anyone can help me get a Zune 120 I'd be much appreciated. I'm in the UK and it's not available here.

Cold Storm · Dec 31, 2008

Can't help you on the 120... But thanks for the Firmware thing.. I don't know about taking apart it since I do have warr. on it..

oli_ramsay · Dec 31, 2008

wow, looks like teh millenium bug came 9 years too late, and only to teh zunes

Unlucky zune owners, still wonder how it all started, did MS had some self-destruct code to initiate today so every1 had to buy new zunes? lol

I was thinking that, or they never thought that the 30gb ones would last as long as they have... Man, if my parents wheren't wanting me to get a Ipod for Christmas, I'd be set... :roll:

Darknova · Dec 31, 2008

Microsoft have identified the problem:

http://forums.zune.net/412486/ShowPost.aspx

Apparently there is a bug in the firmware that means the Zune can't handle leap years. Microsoft has said that the problem will rectify itself tomorrow when 2009 begins.

I hope to god it does... I don't know if work can handle me another day without Music!

:roll:

WC Annihilus · Jan 1, 2009

Definitely enjoying my Zune. Now just gotta load it up with more music!

Cold Storm · Jan 1, 2009

Update:

From what they said about leap year is right. I plugged my Zune into the Hospital computer at 7:23est and as of now, I have a Zune again! :rockout:

I'll be charging it for the next hour and then boom! At lease I don't have to start the new year off as boycotting Microsoft! :roll:

Congratulations! I'll add you to the list once you post your details :toast:

ShadowFold · Jan 2, 2009

I come in peace, bearing a question! Does anyone using the Windows 7 Beta(7000) have any trouble using the Zune software? I might be putting it on my moms rig and she uses her Zune and software a lot. Thanks!

DanishDevil · Jan 2, 2009

I had it running very briefly on my solid state drive, and it seemed to work just fine. I'm selling that, though, and I don't have my Vista CD's on me right now, so I can't really try it for you at the moment, otherwise I would!

I think you're good dude.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Jan 3, 2009

Apparently someone by the name of CrAsHnBuRnXp has taken my s/n unless it was me and I dont remember doing so. Im trying to find out what my password may have been. Told them to send me my password to my email but never got the email.

steelkane · Jan 3, 2009

Any trick or work arounds to get a zune to work on a pc, that wont install a driver for it. asking because my brother is having trouble with his, it works by me but not on his pc, and I also re-loaded his OS fresh install & put a USB 2.0 card in, still nothing. thanks
