He only wore them inside his room and would never take them outside because he was too ashamed to xD, good guy. I showed him Yakitate Japan and he loved it and would wait to watch it with his girl friend. But then his girl started sleeping with some other guy and he turned emo, got tattoos , and started smoking (nothing is wrong with either but this used to be a really clean shaven guy :-/). Then he transferred to University of Hawaii to get some sun (Seattle has a lot of gloomy weather though not so much in recent times). Hope the guy is happy :-/.

Yes I know this year has been a weird year for weather on this side of the state, though I truly can't complain though hehe. I am liking how we actually had a real summer and it is looking to probably give us a real winter also. Though I am not looking forward to the stupid drivers on the ice and snow.

Man I can't agree more, though at least they fixed the the not your choice for us to tag your files for you... The software for the Zune makes it to where I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If they made it more user friendly and didn't lock the Zune to only that software it would probably be a better MP3 player. Hell I don't see why they couldn't of associated it with WMP instead of making a whole new software.

Is this a recent issue? I used the Zune software until about 10 months ago when I got an iPod and last I remember it, the Zune software beat the shit out of iTunes. Sure it ran slow as fuck, but it would try to find tags for albums and give you a choice. Also, I do not remember any forced tagging. It would just grab whatever tags I had on the files.
Did they really fuck it up that much in a year?

This is more close to the when the Zune was released. I have a 1st gen 30g and got it when it was a new toy on the market. When the program was practically new they forced their tags on all your files. They fixed it later with changing it up a bit and adding only add missing option. Also the program being slow as shit is a major drawback over iTunes. Also this new update they added this quickplay feature (or as I call it a dashboard) that is pointless and all it does is make the program slower. They have one of the worst over-bloated apps on the market for music playing, and they force you to use it just to manage your music, not to mention how much fun getting them to detect all your music can be at time, or the old duping the song problem. I hope they fixed the duping song issue with the new program release, but past that bleh... (I call it a new program release since they said they re-wrote almost the whole code)

The zune software seems to work well 95% of the time for me. This is actually pretty good since I was taking on and putting off thousands of songs each month. However, it seemed like the problems always were the stupidest things and had no work-around. My number one gripe about the Zune/Zune HD is that when you sync images the software converts the image to about 1/3 of its original quality effectively crushing any attempts to read manga/comics off of it. The Zune HD has the hardware to output 720p, there is no reason why can't it handle pictures at their regular resolution.
The zune software is a bit sluggish, even with my overclocked quad core - -. I have never used iTunes but I know when something isn't as fast as it should be.

iTunes is still a but fluffy for a media player, but compared to the Zune software it is like driving a car somewhere compared to walking and the Zune is the walker.
