I still cant add songs. i can delete, though. How do I get the old software back?

Have you tried your origanal install disc?

BrewCityUpstart · 12-12-2007, 03:53 AM

I dunno if I can even find it lol

KEEZY · 12-12-2007, 07:59 AM

Just right click the song!

Brew, do you have the software monitoring a folder? If so, you can set it to auto sync and it will take care of the rest.

User error.

I have to add that the Zune software, old and new is not very user friendly. I was trying to help a co-worker setup her sync list, not everysong, just select songs, albums and folders and I could not figure it out. I am a bit dumb, but not that dumb. The help files suck also.

I liked the old software, not a huge fan of the new one, but I haven't played with it enough to really know whether I like it or not.

The new software is actually easier for what you want to do Serren. Just set the Zune up with no auto sync. And then just drag what you want to sync to the Zune icon. The software will create an auto sync association for just what you add manually. It will show it to the left of the artists pane.

Thats what I wanna do. I cant sync everything unless I get a 200gig Zune...

Brew, connect your Zune and then go into the settings for your device, sync options. Turn off the auto sync feature. You can then just add what ever you want manually w/out the Zune auto syncing anything. Remember, whenever you remove anything from the Zune software, it will remove it from your Zune. Auto sync or not. This was not the case in ver 1 of the software.

Can you drop songs and folders through Explorer?

Holy crap - for real? That's good to know. Thanks!

Wait a second, the last time I added stuff to sync it wasn't even in the Zune library, I think I dragged it directly from an open window to the little sync thing.. can't remember if that was in ver. 1 tho.

Crippler · 12-12-2007, 03:48 PM

No more drag and drop syncing like in version 1 from OUTSIDE of the Zune software.

Peench · 12-12-2007, 05:22 PM

Lame. That was my favorite part and why I never used iTunes back in the days.

Lord Geoff · 12-12-2007, 06:24 PM

Okay, this is just a small work around for that. Actually, I am not even sure it is a work around. I downloaded an on10.net video and tried to drag it to the Zune icon and no dice. I tried to drag it to the Zune software and then again to the Zune icon and it worked. It is just a two step process.

Funny... my Zune card is broken (at the time of this post, anyway)

MadBryan · 12-12-2007, 07:24 PM

Yeah, I was gonna say, I've dragged some files to the new software. I'll do again and see where it worked
