Hopefully Microsoft will come out with an actual fix for this issue sooner than later.  I don't want to have to constantly be resetting my Zune.

I'm just annoyed that the problem was fixed, and then came back.  If this is a recurring thing, I'm not going to be happy and will have to look at more reliable MP3 players instead.
