Attention Zune users:
If you’re one of the lucky people who own one of these players, then this may be some long awaited good news. You should expect a software update today that will fix (maybe) the following issues:
We’re fixing the skipping problem that some users were experiencing – that is, content acquired from Zune Marketplace will no longer skip when played on the device.
Improved device and software reliability, when it comes to device detection, and improved sync’ing.
We’ve made some changes to the FM Tuner so it no longer drains the battery when in sleep mode.
Improvements abound. Yippee.
