I'm happy to report that my extensive record album collection is completely immune to this bug.

Thats when backing up all your music on CDs sounds like a good idea.

The music is stored on my puter...I just sync to upload new songs, movies back into the device. I think I may ask for a refund....when I take this one back, course I cant really bitch...they upgraded my 30 to an 80 for free last time.

I recall that Obama used a zune...:hmm: A presidential crisis too?

Doesn't affect me though. Records, man, records.

lol, today, the president has had a panic attack, all his music is gone.

Hrm.... how do you rip from a record :hmm:

Anyhow... after all the Y2K panic I find this little snaful rather amusing.

My understanding is the latest firmware update (released in September I think) and the internal clock couldn't handle leap year dates

, Microsoft reckons the problem should resolve after midnight GMT on the first - of course the question begs to be asked , Will this happen every leap year if you've got a Zune?

Isn't that assuming these devices will still work after 4 years?
