Over at Zune Thoughts, Jason Dunn shares an issue he encountered recently with his Zune 80.

I was recently in Amsterdam, at a Microsoft conference called Mobius, and there were a few Zune users in the room. Two of them were Microsoft employees, and we decided to share a few songs wirelessly – or, more accurately, we tried to. No matter how many times I tried, my Zune 80 simply would not connect to either the Zune 8 or the other Zune 80 in the room. At first I thought it was because I was about 20 feet away, but that seemed kind of feeble – I was sure my Zune could reach the other Zunes. And it was certainly seeing the other Zunes ok, so why couldn’t it send?

Wonder what was up with that…

Anyhow, this past weekend I had issues of my own. I lost my 500gb external drive that houses all my movies and music. With the Zune Software not able to see this drive, I had some issues. I am fairly sure it’s related… All my songs went to and error message and would not play. Tonight, I got that drive back to work and resync’ed the Zune 80… No luck. I rebooted the Zune… No luck.

What I ended up having to do is erase 40gb of info from the Zune and start over. It’s still resync’ing now. The good news is that my songs *do* work again!
