Zune 2.5 Firmware and Software Update
I’m excited to announce the Zune Spring Update: Zune 2.5. We’re adding new features and enhancements to your Zune, the Zune software, Zune Social and TV shows in Zune Marketplace.
For details on the update, head to the press release, but at a high level, in the Spring update:
- Zune cards becomes more portable. You can already put it on social networking or other websites – now you can drag and drop your friend’s cards onto your player. If you have a Zune Pass that means you get full track versions of everything they’ve been listening to on your Zune
- We’re opening a video store in Zune Marketplace, with 800 episodes, from partners like NBC, MTV, Comedy Central, Turner and more.
- Adds a number of customer-requested features and improvements to the PC software and Zune Social – like autoplaylists, browse your collection by genre and gapless playback on your Zune
