What Are Your Wishes For the Zune in 2007?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Zune Talk" @ 09:00 AM
Since we've just started 2007, I thought it might be interesting to see what the community was hoping for from the Zune team at Microsoft in 2007. Realistic, do-able features that can be added to our current Zunes via a software update. What would you like to see? Here's my 2007 wish-list, and I think all of them are realistic:
- Read Embedded Album Art
- Fully-supported "Zune as Hard Drive" mode
- WiFi sync back to PC (this would take a lot of work, but it's important to have)
- On-device codec support for DivX, Xvid, MPEG4, Flash/FLA (transcoding is a bad solution, I want real support for these file formats, even if it costs the Zune team money)
- WiFi sharing of videos
- DVR-MS support for getting Media Center TV shows
- Resize photos to 240 x 320, not 480 x 640
- View portrait photos in portrait orientation
- Update the Zune Marketplace to show which songs are not able to be shared
- Expand the Zune Marketplace - I'm tired of going to look for bands and songs and not finding them
- Extending the 3 day/3 play DRM to be 30 day/3 play
