Hopefully you guys can look into why the marketplace downloads have been slow for many users.

can you provide any more details about the zune/xbox integration? For example, will you be able to play videos/music on your xbox that you bought/rented from the Zune marketplace?

My downloads in the Marketplace haven't been slow for years. Just the last month or so.

I just wanna' know one thing, why Tuesdays? That's when new music is released, and we end up having to wait until basically Wednesday before we can get that new music. Only problem I really have with these updates...

Thanks for giving us specific details that weren't included in the mass email?

Isn't the point of Zune "Insider" to give the people that are really interested some "inside info"? This isn't interesting at all. No noticable differences?

Wow glad to know it wasn't just my downloads.  My cable speed is at 12mb but seems to take Zune forever lately to download.

I want the Battlestar Galactica zune!  kevin1ab

Thanks!  Kevin

make sre you guys turn up the volume on downloads pretty dead slow its irritating.

I really hope the integration allows for two things. 1. Sync from my 360 to my zune (like a pc). 2. Allow video content purchased from the Zune Marketplace to be playable on the 360via the zune device. You can connect your device to the 360 and play video podcasts off of it. But not purchased music videos..?

Marketplace downloads are not the only thing that is slow. The social website is one of the slowest websites I have come across. It would be nice if that would be fixed.

i just want it to come to Canada. is there any way that maybe thats what theyr doing? i know the chances are slim, but i want to get a zune pass realllllly badly

Can we get a Zune Theme for Win 7?

I agree big time with MooKooJoe. I look forward to new music Tuesday. I feel like Zune is saying they don't care about the big music lover.  

Hey Zach. I wish there was more interesting info to share - but really this is backend work to get ready the services coming to LIVE later this year.

Hope the maintenance is going well.  If and when you can, posting back here with any updates about going back on line would be appreciated!

Maintenance going well?  Let us know when you're close to getting back online, if that's possible?

24 hours for maintenance?  In the 6 months or so of owning a Zune, I've witnessed several maintenance outages with virtually no changes or substansive improvements made.  I'm sorry, but Apple seems to be able to regularly update and improve iTunes without any customer usage disruptions. Maybe the Zune ecosystem needs to be merged into the WMP and be done with it.    

Hey... maybe something new in the works? I know the website of Zune.net has been super slow. Hopefully new servers. Whatever it is, keep up the good work guys!

if you care about new music... you can download through the zune itself.  I just downloaded some songs through the marketplace function in my zune and it worked.

lame now i have to wait longer for brokencydes new album

please fix gapless playback on long tracks (over 7 mins)

At least we knew about it up front. Sure, it's inconvenient but BFD; get over it already or run on back to the fruit stand.

Hey... is there any chance you guys will release new games?! I'm getting bored of beating "Space Battle" on the expert stage w/ a perfect score, within minutes. Any chance to get new ones soon? soon meaning before the Zune HD is released? By the way, does anyone actually know the sizes/pricing for the HD? I'm looking to get a job so i can buy the BIGGEST size available, and i need to know how much bank i need

Please bring the Marketplace to Canada. I'm still buying from iTunes, I hate them.

Thanks Brian - I understand, I just wish you guys would release more information that is somewhat "insider" related. Stuff that not everyone hears about. Its irritating to come to this website and see exactly what I read in my emails from Zune. Give us some secrets or really interesting stuff - we all love Zune and want to know how things are going up there in Redmond.

yeah i'd like some new games. it seems like the marketplace is lacking in artists and music that you can download off of itunes. artists such as Drake. i hate having to pay for music when i have my zune pass already. i can't believe i had to buy grizzly bear's new album because it wasn't up for download. sometimes you realize how much better itunes is over fucking marketplace.

Hi,i have a zune 30GB but the battery don´t work,the zune charge well but I only can listen 1 hour of music,and the zune say that the battery is empty!Please what i do?(mariana.nicolini@hotmail.com)
