amalthia: (Last Unicorn Weary)
I have a runny nose and sore throat...but on the bright side I'm reading this really good Star Trek story that I'll probably recommend later tonight and in 5 minutes I'm heading out to the movies to see the Proposal. We were going to see it last night but by the time we got to the movies it was packed and we couldn't find seats we wanted. So instead we came home, I played around with trying to get something not Zune software to work with my zune and then finished watching Eagle Eye.

Now about Zune. I have a Zune player (I love the device) but I HATE the software. I can't recommend this device to anyone because the software is so limiting and you can't sync music to the device using another media manager. There was a way with software version 2.3-2.5 but then Microsoft fucked us over again and changed something that made zalternator not work. :(

Basically, my biggest issue with the Zune software is that I can't save my playlists and move them to other computers, my playlists duplicate, I can't drag and drop music from a folder into a playlist. It's just a big fucking mess. Which is funny because I used Windows Media Player for years without problems. I just don't get with all their money they can't even beat winamp in terms of features and usability! I'm going to keep an eye open for future hacks because really my Zune device wants to use winamp.

To cheer myself up I think I'll add more stories to the ebook library after I get back from the movies as well as continue to apply for more jobs. I've also made a 3rd skin which is very similar to the one I announced last week except this one has all the recent stories on the column sidebar.
