Was the zune seen as a success or failure? I haven't seen an ad for zunes in something like 3-4 years

I think it's the 2nd best selling mp3 player, and they are still running ads for the Zune software

I love my iPod.  Ive got the 160GB version that I believe is not sold anymore.  There are only two things that I hate about it.  The first is that I don't get Genius but I have it on iTunes and that's alright.  The second is that a lot of my album covers have been switched with random frames from Forgetting Sarah Marshal and I can't figure out how to get my actual album covers back.

That is not a problem isolated with iTunes.  I just read up on Genius and that sounds fairly neat.

 

 

I after your reply I decided to do some more searching on my artwork problem, it was bugging me for awhile but I finally fixed it.  And about Genius, it's great for when I have people over and want a playlist that I know they will like.  But I still wish I could do it on the go.

All of the songs I download from the Zune Marketplace have the correct artwork, but a lot of the mp3s I already owned show a lot of wierd shit that I am not even sure how they are connected.  What did you do to fix it?  Was it a manual process?

Looks interesting anyway but i don't think it will be enough to pull people away from the already established iPod and Walkman ranges!

The new Sony Touchscreen Walkman (16GB and 32GB models), which come with a 3" OLED display also look amazing!!

Wow.  That should be a very thin device.  But aren't those OLEDs very expensive?

Apparently so but the Walkman at 32GB is coming out at a price of £249.99 (Uk prices of course) and the 16GB iPod Touch is priced on the same site (being www.Play.com) at £216 so it looks like it is going to be good value for money!

It was really simple.  I'm a little upset that I didn't figure it out sooner.  Basically, after plugging my iPod in I went to the music tab in it's menu and unchecked display album artwork and applied it.  After it updated I checked display album artwork and applied it.  It just reloaded all of the artwork.
