Any chance that the release of 8.1 will provide us with a client for our computers like Zune did that will allow us to manage and sync our music more easily? I'd trade a lot of features for a client like this.
Except that I sync my music almost exclusively by playlist. Copying files over directly is terrible for that. The new Xbox music app doesn't even see the playlists I have on my phone, making it completely useless. Don't even get me started on my cloud synced playlists, they are so broken and messed up it's not even funny. Honestly, Zune it what brought me to Windows Phone, as such WP8 has been a very frustrating disappointment for me in that regard.I really like WP8's ability to be mounted and copy files over directly. I have never had any issue with music when I copied it over this way. I hope that the music is fixed so there is no issue at that, and there will really be no need for a synching client on a computer.
