I have some things I'd like to know, but if you haven't thrown your two cents into the Suggestion Box Comments, throw your dime in here...
You see, I am going to be attending the Microsoft MVP Summit in a few weeks where I will be face to face with some of the brains behind Zune. I haven't made it to the Summit in a couple years due to other events/shows, but I have declined a couple other engagements to make sure I get there this year.
Instead of being there only representing the Windows Mobile crowd for my Mobilitysite/Aximsite community. I will be a voice for this community regarding Zune for the 1st time.
So anyhow, shoot me some questions you want answers to. I can't promise that I will get them, but I sure as hell will try.

This was talked about on zunerama, but if you could ask about why we aren’t able to sort our playlists by artist in the zune software, that’d be great. Also, will we get a clock in zune v3??
There are a few things that I thing should be added or be better. First thing, I really think that a clock should be added. Also video playlists and sorting should be added. I think that another way of sorting the music on the software should be better because it right now likes to be tough.
Hello,
For me it’s easy (I know it’s been rumored) but Smart Shuffling is an absolute must.
Thanks,

I absolutely think there needs to be a clock, and there needs to be like a recently added playlist, cause for me and im sure a lot of people i download a whole bunch of songs with the zune pass but then i forget what i downloaded and i have to dig through to find my new songs. Also its kinda obvious but more storage and thinner would be better.
Let’s see
We need AVI video support.
I find if I turn off the zunepad the zune 80 runs a bit quicker, they need to optimize the interface, the zune 30 runs the new firmware smoother.
Hard Drive support, right now I have almost 50 gigs free, this way I can leave my 80 gig external at home.
Get rid of that thick black border around the glass, at least cut it by half.
Make all zune 80’s glossy like the red zune 80, even though it’s gets finger prints all over, it does add to the attractiveness of the player.
We need a E.Q. there is more than enough space, it can go directly below rating, makes more sense to put it there rather than in the settings area.
I guess clock, I don’t really need it but hey people are asking for it.Do something about the brightness, I find it difficult to see the interface in the daylight.
Gives us some interface customization, like different colours choices and maybe give us the ability to tweak the font style and size.Software:We need drag n drop of album art, also like the old software and WMP, when you right click on an album, you can go directly to that album on your drive.I’m sure I’m missing something…Make the originals site accessible to people outside of America , very easy just make an index page telling people that only citizen of the U.S will be able to order from the site,The other site will be exactly the same without the buy feature.
Man the bottom of my last post looks messed up.
just remember this, we need some sort of indication on the zune when you are doing wireless sync with your computer.
and the ability to delete form the zune player.
Lets have Xbox live downloads right to the zune… music, music videos and movies. just my 2cents
I second AVI video support and Xbox Live downloads–would also love to be able to view Asian characters on the Zune itself.
my things!:
1)add the "search by composer" thing, i have classical music and is all a mess.
2) in the video area, add some organitation, like in photos, you know like i have all the heroes season, in a folder, and when i open it in my zune, is all messed up whit other videos
oh 1 other thing i forgot, it needs mac support. I have 2 macs at home and i have to partition the hard drive with windows and use my zune like that. just kind of a hassle.
CLOCK
EQ
ELAPSED TIME (PLAYLIST)
STOPWATCH
DRAG-N-DROP FILES
