I must say I'm having a little trouble coming up with some unique and cool features to add to ZuneUser.com.  I'm a programmer, so pretty much anything you guys can dream up (as far as software goes) I can make (given enough time of course :-).

So what could we add to this community to make it better?  What would cause you to come here multiple times per day? What does the Zune need to make it better?
 
I'll start it off:

- Online audio file converter - something to convert music files to the appropriate Zune format
- Private message system - maybe it wouldn't be used that much, I don't know...

Every idea's a good idea, now let's hear 'em!

1) Private Messaging system,

2) Ability to change the email address you registered with

3) The ability to change the theme on the site to what you prefer (dark, light, different colors, etc) by selecting from a few presets.

4) A ZuneUser podcast

5) I think the market place forum you got here is a great and rather unique idea and should be given more emphasis (maybe the ability to add a photo to what you're selling and then have a slideshow of what is on sale running ontop of the site). A great way for Zune users to sell their used equipment..and for others to get in on the cheap.

6) Video clips of tips and tricks that could be posted on youtube and then linked/embedded here
(those video clips could also be part of a podcast - "The ZuneUser's How To" :-)
OR they could be streamed on for instance ustream.tv

7) Give users 'rankings' like n00b, expert, etc, etc based on maybe # of posts or 'reputation'

8) A geographical forum so people in different areas maybe even can get together

9) A 'post a photo of yourself' thread

All I can think of..for..now

alright, picture this.  when i click on the "forums" button under neath Home, what i would like to see is a zune pop up.  and in that zune you will have the forum category folders, and when you click on them, it will take you to the threads! and it would be awesome if you could use the zune controls to navigate the folders and make your selections, etc. 

anyone else like this idea?

from ObanNeat's post, i especially like
-1
-3 (with perhaps a zune interface for selecting threads?)
-6 (videos would be very helpful to many people, and you could have incentives for members making then uploading videos that people request)
-7

I like that you could go directly to the forum folders the way you describe it but...not 100% sure on the zune-way to navigate..maybe it could be an option as some people may love it and some hate it

That's a great idea. It could eventually be a nice 'video library' of how to do things.

ya i think the video might be the most important, because if a picture's worth a 1,000 words, then a video is worth a million

Somebody wants to start a podcast?  Well hell, I'm in for that, I've been making podcast stuff for years now.  Gimme a shout, we'll brainstorm.  I'd love to make the "Official Zune Users Podcast",  KjKolko...you have a face for radio?  I know I do.


**CLARIFICATION**

It's not a jab, it means that I believe you'd be the most useful on the 'cast.

A podcast CAN be video but can also be just audio.
Think of it as a radio show that you record and then upload to the internet for people to download.
I use my Zune more for podcasts than music these days
