bboy87 said:

My world was upside down all day with no music

Whay did you're brother do??

thekidsgirl said:

He was pissed off and I tried to restart it(I thought it just froze) then I went to google and saw the news

bboy87 said:

What should I do? It put it in the freezer in a while so it would cut off, now its plugged in to the computer but it's still stuck on the Zune splashscreen!

They said it'll be fixed after 1/1/09

icrosoft Zune owners are up in arms over an apparent worldwide, simultaneous glitch that leaves the media player frozen.

Call it Microsoft’s Z2K bug; reports are flooding across the Internet that Microsoft’s Zune media player is inexplicably failing, en masse. The Web site Zune Forums is loaded with comments regarding the 30GB Zune freezing, running the gamut from annoyed users to those who seem about ready to burn Microsoft’s headquarters down. The issue has affected Zunes across the globe.

It seems the Zune freezes after the status bar reaches 100 percent on the startup screen. Microsoft has so far not responded as to while the simultaneous freeze has occurred, though rumors are running rampant that the cause is a Y2K-like programming bug. That explanation first surfaced after several forums filled with complains that their Zunes had all frozen in exactly the same place, at exactly midnight PST.

According to posted reports on various Zune forums, the device freezes after the startup status bar reaches 100 percent. The problem at first seemed only to affect the 30GB model, although reports are now surfacing that the 80GB models are experiencing the same problem. Needless to say, the Zune owners who have been posting to various forums are confused and have been unable to get an explanation from Microsoft or anyone else. As one poster lamented: “It feels like it’s 1999 again…”

Since the device’s loudly trumpeted debute in November 2006, the would-be iPod killer has struggled to find a foothold in the market, while Apple’s rival music player has continued to lead the MP3 player market. As of May 2008 slightly more than 2 million Zunes had been sold, according to Jason Reindorp, Zune’s director of product marketing. In that same period, sales of Apple’s iPod reached 76 million.

and this is from Zune Insider:
Early this morning we were alerted by our customers that there was a widespread issue affecting our 2006 model Zune 30GB devices (a large number of which are still actively being used). The technical team jumped on the problem immediately and isolated the issue: a bug in the internal clock driver related to the way the device handles a leap year.

The issue should be resolved over the next 24 hours as the time change moves to January 1, 2009. We expect the internal clock on the Zune 30GB devices will automatically reset tomorrow (noon, GMT). By tomorrow you should allow the battery to fully run out of power before the unit can restart successfully then simply ensure that your device is recharged, then turn it back on. If you’re a Zune Pass subscriber, you may need to sync your device with your PC to refresh the rights to the subscription content you have downloaded to your device.

Customers can continue to stay informed via the support page on zune.net (zune.net/support).



We know this has been a big inconvenience to our customers and we are sorry for that, and want to thank them for their patience.

It is a bug in a driver for a part that is only used in the Zune 30 device.



Q: What fixes or patches are you putting in place to resolve this situation?

This situation should remedy itself over the next 24 hours as the time flips to January 1st.

The issue should resolve itself.



Q: Are you sure that this won’t happen to all 80, 120 or other flash devices?
