i noticed that when you are playing a video podcast and press the center to bring the menu, there is a choice for "unsusbribe" and the new option "send".

I used a skin that came with quite a few color schemes..I usually used all black with white text…..except for the neon color schemes they were all pretty easy on the eyes

All I really need for the Zune software is the mini player mode and some more display options……..Something black :D

I honestly almost always used the default. I know that defeated one of the main points of using the highly customizable Winamp, but in windowshade mode almost none of them were as easy to read as the neon-green text on the black background. I think there was one I found that was a bright-orange text on black background that was pretty good, but the font wasn’t quite as readable. I know, super-picky, but when something is as customizable as Winamp, you can be as picky as you want.

I used Winamp because, since there were so many skins for it, I could basically make it look like whatever I wanted…And the windowshade and mini modes were always so well designed…..I wish the software had more customization options, but I’m sure we’ll see that int he next update

Jim, it scrolls through that info any time the music is playing or paused…I love it.

And Shado, I’m with you. The reason I used Winamp for years after newer and better music management systems came out was that I LOVE the windowshade/mini mode. The Now Playing screen is very cool, but it’s not like I’m going to sit there and stare at it, ya know? I got work to do, yo.

The only thing I wish for now is a mini player mode….This is awesome, I love the little touches

Also, when you minimize the Zune window, it shows the song, artist, and album on the taskbar.

Found another one, hover over the V.U meter to the left of the track that’s playing, it will give you a tool tip (now playing) click that nice. :)

I love the new hidden stuff, you can also copy album art from where the tracks resides or from the web and past directly to that album on marketplace, the only problem is that if you copy from the web the art does not show up in that albums folder, so it’s better to copy and past the album art directly into the albums folder first, then copy and paste from there to marketplace. I hope that make sense J

Also during a wireless sync the progress is now indicated on the zune, not sure if you have noticed this.
