Or maybe im confused on what your testing... Wait, maybe im just being stupid, but if it is hooked up to you car pack, then aren’t you actually testing the car battery rather than your zune battery?

Had it been a flash player I would have given it close to a year but I'll bet the drive breaks down... especially in that heat. My money is on 3 months.

Anyways, yes the play count boosts up but here is the main problem- IT GETS SCREEN BURN-IN!!! AHH, my precious Zune 80! Anyways, yea a few weeks ago I noticed that it had gotten screen burn-in of the play/pause icon, battery and wifi icon, along with shuffle and repeat icons, and even the music playback bar shows. It even shows an artist name, song and album along with the time passed in the song and the time remaining!! It's all burned into my screen! so I thought it was just a common issue and I called Zune support, but I suspected it to be screen burn-in. So I did a hard reset and some other stuff with it that the lady from Zune support said to do. Still, after 2 hard resets, it showed these things on every screen. only during gray/light colors in that area of the screen you would easily see them, sometimes even during videos. So I had to ship it into zune support and it has a 1 year warranty. I am using my zune 8gb for music right now, so glad I got a second zune this year. Anyways don't make the same mistake I did and leave it running for continuous hours. I almost put this as a story on the blog I write for (cliczune) but it doesn't seem like news or anything. Well, I guess I'm going to post it now anyways... reminds me of the times I keep my Zune 80 in my dock continuously playing music in my room for days, and I give it frequent breaks when I bring it with me, but don’t make the same mistake I did- I use my zune 80 all the time in the dock playing music, even while I sleep (IDK why but it helps me sleep to music).

I could care less about that :) That being said, I will see what my play count is at right now and post it and I am sure I can talk Cesar into reseting it to that number when this test is complete.
