But I was also stymied by the issue of not being able to listen to it while charging it. I had considered purchasing a car charger for it, but why? If the battery dies, I would be unable to listen to it while it charges anyway, so why not just save the money and charge it when I get to a computer? And now here comes this tidbit. It just happens to be the first one I came across upon seeking help, and that tidbit just happens to address a problem I have... er... had. It is a simple fix, but not at all intuitive. To use it - shut it off. Why didn't *I* think of that? Anyway, thanks. And off I go to ask more *stoopid* questions.

He let me have it and it works great with the zune and its cheaper than any of those car adapters that cost $100, so try to get one of those.

I can see my radio and/or music is on and playing but there is no volume in my speakers, although I can play music straight from my computer. Why is the volume blocked when my zune is plugged into the usb site?

As a new Zune and MP3 player user, I found the software to be the most clunky non-intuitive interface I have ever used, with the exception of Itunes when it first launched. I have had to scour the internet trying to find answers to questions on how to do simple things as well. I have a 360 and the XBL dashboard is a total joy to use. I don't understand why Microsoft would not have patterned the Zune interface after that. If you're 16 like chris apparently is, you have probably been using MP3 players and interfaces for a long time and already know how to figure out some of the "stupid" things. If you're also 16 like chris, you have not learned what the words courtesy or class mean either.
