Zune.net and Zune Marketplace Down: Updates Imminent (And They're Live!)

Posted by Darius Wey in "Zune Talk" @ 11:00 PM



It looks like Microsoft is working the late-night shift. Both Zune.net and the Zune Marketplace are down, which can only mean one thing: update time! Expect major changes on the other side - new desktop software, a new Zune Marketplace, and new firmware that's ready to rock with all flavours of the new and old Zune. We'll let you know the moment they're available.

Update: And Zune.net is live - with a new face, of course! If you already have the previous Zune software installed, fire it up or pay Microsoft Update a visit to grab the latest version. Otherwise, head over to the Zune Software page to "get the full Zune experience" or just the software itself. While that's downloading, be sure to check out the new Zune Social and new Zune Marketplace (now alive and kicking with DRM-free MP3s, music videos, and podcasts). We'll be covering the latest and greatest of the new Zune experience today, so stay tuned for more!

Spontaneous Zune Shutdown and XP Amnesia

"We all have read the recent issues of the Zune shutting down due to static. You know you might have been a victim of this if your Zune shuts down and the Zune logo appears and re-boots itself. Today, it happen to me.. kind of. While i was on the train on my way to work, my Zune suddenly shut down. I didn’t if it was a battery thing or not, so i checked it. I clicked the play button and the Zune turned on, but it wouldn’t display an image. The screen remained black, but you could tell it was on, because some of the lighting."

Well, it's never happened to me [knocks on wood again], so I guess I'm lucky, though I did have a Zune issue myself recently that I'll be posting on soon. In any case, if your Zune decides to up and quit one day and your PC no longer recognizes it, pinksage at generationzune has the answer: Hold the back and up button together for a few seconds to awaken the beast.
