Zune Tip : Cool Listening Screen
Posted by Chris Leckness on 11/14/07When you pick a song to listen to in the Zune software on your desktop, you can click a little EQ looking icon in the lower right of the screen and get a really cool screen... This works in your library or even browsing and sampling in the marketplace.

Here is what you have when you click it...

This screen uses album art from your collection as the background. Really Slick!
To get back, hit the backspace on your keyboard, the back button on your mouse, or click exit in the same place the EQ icon was.

Yes, this is called “Now Playing”
(Tool-tip verifies)
Yeah, just tried this and its pretty cool. Even more reason to make sure my music has the right art.
It’s cool that the now playing screen basically shows your personality in the background. It’s especially cool when you have enough albums to have a wide variety of covers in the background.
I also notice you have 311’s self-titled album. They’re my favorite band. That’s pretty sweet.
Damn thats such a great idea… Again taking charge and making things different. Microsoft making it happen I love you guys.

That is really awesome. Hope they have a similar concept for videos where it shows the first scene of all videos in your library. That would be freaking awesome.
that is really cool, beats out the itunes coverflow anyday of the week. i am really impressed with the whole presentation of the whole zune software
Okay, I LOVE that. That sounds AWESOME. Cover art as a background? Genious. Way to go Zune. I didn’t know that until now. Wow. Now Im thinking of switching my media player when I a Zune.
Lynda,
What is your current music player?
