Is this the least favorite part of WP7 for anyone else? It is awful. Wifi syncing stops working after a week or so. I am greeted with a multitude of Failure To Connect messages that require a 30 second depress of Return to clear before I can close the program.
I have a feeling the wifi sync failure is due to two WP7s talking to the same PC with 2 different users logged in, each with a Zune instance. Even if this is the limitation, that is poor. How do multi-iPhone households operate?
The syncing logic isn't that great. Can't tell you how many times it has just erased everything on my phone and then reloaded it (over USB, since wifi doesn't work). Thirty minute syncs are my favorite. I currently have about 45 songs on my phone after a wired sync last night that are now Unknown Artist. They were Known Artists just the day before, and are still Known Artists on the PC.
I used to have iPods and think that iTunes is better than Zune Software, and is easier to use. I hate the UI of Zune. If they're going to do tabs for everything, put it closer together. Why is Music/videos/podcasts on the left, and on the far right Artists/Songs/Playlists? Does Microsoft hate its users?
Is Zune dead and gone in WP8? I love WP7 but every time I have to do some media management in Zune it makes me wish I was on a different platform altogether.
