Zune Software needs Equal Treatment for Podcasts


Recommended Posts

Software version 2.5.447.0

That was a great surprise getting updated software and device firmware. The ?gapless? music functionality did throw me off a little. I?m not a big music fan. I use my Zune 30GB almost exclusively for podcasts and when listening; one segment finished; it would jump around and just start another without any notice.

I download some podcasts that have 3 (three) separate MP3 files. This is just one podcast chopped up but, I want to listen to the podcast in ?order?. The new software makes it much easier. I just simply do an ?edit? and assign a ?track? number to each MP3 file in order of the podcast show e.g. 01, 02 ?. IF eat! IF that is the podcast downloads as "music"......I don't know why but, some podcast MP3 files go into my "music" Zune software section while others go into the "podDoes anyone know why and how can I control this? I control this? I would love to have certain podcasts go into the music section of the software where I can assign "track" numbers AND "album artwork".

suggestions for futurPLEASEdates; PLEASE let me asign "track" numbers AND "update album artwork" to any podcast like I can do for any music album.

Ahhhh..NO.

I find a Podcast Audio MP3 file and "save" it...No matter what I do it ends up in the "podast" section of my Zune software. "Some", well I should say one:

goes into the "music" section of the Zune software which is wonderful because I can add artwork and if muliple MP3 files I can give them "track" numbers for an orderly listen to with this software's new "gapless" play.......

You should take Zune suggestions to the forums at Zune.net. They're generally pretty good about listening. :)
