I got up early today. I want my Zune back. I want it NOW!!!!
I have an iPod; isn't that enough? No. Why is my Zune so important to me? The management software is nice. The screen is big and bright. The speed of access to my dated 'albums' is nice. It just rocks when riding a motorcycle thanks to that simple rocker-clicker switch.
The official story is a timing issue in the internal clock and this year's leap year issues. That doesn't matter to me. I am a music-grubbing, self-centered customer who only wants his music. I'm told charging the Zune and resyncing it will fix everything. We'll see about that.
The battery is totally dead. This doesn't look good. Let's snap it in.
Waiting. Waiting. Recharging symbol is displayed prominently... Wait for it! A-ha! The boot sequence begins. The boot 'line' begins crawling from left to right. Yesterday? The line would stop at the very end, and then the only music is that finger-snapping, steady-beat of the drive whirring all the battery capacity away. Wait for it!
What? My initial menu is there. My custom background, my wildly wonderful Kawasaki motorcycle, is there. And now, wait for it! The Zune software begins synching my Zune and loading onto it the 'Learn German' podcasts (Podkasten?) to the box.
It's working and charging, as promised, Gott sei Dank! Let me know your experiences in a response. And if you want to talk about iPod virtues too, I got some comments for that too.
