First!

To ask for a firmware update, again!!!!!!

Woo HOO!!!!

Thanks for the muzak. Have yourself a good weekend too!

Sweet

Thanks, I hope I get my PC fixed soon so I can check these out.

These have been great, Cesar. Thanks.

(and thanks for the shout out... you don't know how happy I was to see that the Zune Marketplace had it--though for some reason, the album, not the songs, was listed twice).

Are they ever going to release the soundtrack for Halo 1, 2 or 3?!? I would love to download it on the ZMP!! Love the Zune by the way...

Indeed, the thing the ZMP is really lacking is soundtracks. Games, Movies, etc.

Also, you guys must get Kellin Watson on there. She's awesome. http://www.kellinwatson.com/

Thanks for the new music again.  One question, when are we going to find out about a new flash Zune?  I'm in the market now and holding off for a short time in hopes that the new Little Zune is big on features and battery life.

what is this huh huh huh ?

<@Eddie>

 <sarcasm>

   Why do you need a PC to check out this Zune team provided list of songs?  You've got a Zune, and it's got WiFi...

 </sarcasm>

</@Eddie>

Soundtracks ZMP needs would be Halo, i mean common! It's owned by Microsoft you'd think they'd have Halo! Also atleast they have a good selection of Soundtracks so far.

yea they do need more soundtracks. it just doesnt make sense how halo isnt on there. at least they had the aqua teen movie soundtrack to hold me over until mazolas band called firmware update makes many releases haha

Lol, nice Dan D. I wonder what news will be tomorrow.

Even iTunes has Halo soundtracks

@Kevin: They do?

LMAO

Not only do iTunes have Halo soundtrack, but Podcasts and audiobooks.

ey, Mr. Menendez ....check this out...

is this true ?

Hey anyone read this:

http://www.betanews.com/article/Microsoft_to_Debut_Zune_2_on_Tuesday/1191256215

Easy question for you Ceaser,

Will you be in the office tomorrow or at some exciting event?  How about next Tuesday?  

Thanks

Is Zune 2 being announced Oct 2nd?

http://www.zunescene.com/forums/index.php?topic=21016.0

Cesar, fairly obvious question...is there truth behind BetaNews.com report that there will be a Zune event tommorrow at Redmond?  If so, will there be a live webcast?  Thanks

if the betanews is true then maybe we will finally get the much needed over due firmware update.

I'm mostly intrigued by this "community website". Web integration (perhaps akin to Last.fm?) is what I've been hoping for.

well, as always, from me you'll get a "we don't comment on rumor and speculation"

I hope so, Finally good news, maybe a firmware on Wendesday?

cesar if we cant get a comment on rumor and speculation can we get a comment on facts? haha hopefully soon. i asked before but didnt seem to get an awnser to mac support. I want to buy a macbook because my laptop is an overheating peice of junk and want to own a mac just to own one but want to have zune on it. so any mac support in development at least?

Dan, just use Boot Camp, or one of the several virtualization solutions (Parallels, VMWare) and run Windows on your new MacBook. You'll have the same Zune support you'd get on any Windows box.

Good news. Can you confirm cesar?

@zuneless

yea i was thinking about it. i said it in a previous post lol i would probably try to triple boot it with mac,vista and linux haha.  if anything i would use bootcamp its better than virtualization software. at least thats my opinion. i just want a mac to screw aroudn with it. plus they seem pretty cool i guess. idno i havent used one in like 8 years and all i remember is i hated them back then in computer class. except for where in the world is carmen sandiego. what a good game. hey cesar when are we getting that game for the zune haha

Cesar...then what is going on at www.on10.net

see the right bar on the main page...

I will buy 2 of each of the new Zunes if you can get Allard to walk out in some faded levis and a black turtleneck.

Translation on the www.on10.net link from a brazilian dude I have on MSN Messenger

"Tomorrow microsoft will announce new models of Zune, the companies' digital media player. Along the new models, new software and a new store will be available, as well as a still unknown beta community. I shall post new details as soon as possible."

Charlie..that would be a hysterical.  Hopefully this is going to be a live webcast that all of us can see.

@Ricardo

That would be soooooooooo sweet!

Cavan

Cesar, can you atleast answer this? Do you have a meeting to go to tommorrow, regardless of wether it's Zune or just a regular meeting.

heheh zoa, I'm in meetings every day! Often I'm in meetings reflecting and representing the feedback/comments from the community (especially on this site)

Its good to hear you are in meetings every day.  I know I can most likely speak for most of the owners/fan base of the Zune and we are very frustrated over lack of even any news.  Let a lone a firmware update hopefully somewhere in the near future.

well im glad we have at least cesar sticking up for us. make us proud cesar. you get us the 50 firmware updates we  should have by now

The rumor mill is beginning to overheat. Some confirmation would be handy.

PS. Leaked Zune 2 looks good!

More rumors:

Cesar....start typing already...dammint...the news are flying over Redmond to the world quite fast:

It's interesting how every one is so excited that Cesar is in meetings. In the technology sector I worked in meetings were the ultimate productivity killer.ymmv
