First all, if you own a Zune and you listen to a lot of podcasts, you probably won’t want to miss this desktop software update for the Zune. It purportedly has a lot of podcasting related fixes. (I know that occasionally I’ll get certain podcasts registered twice in the desktop Zune software.

Personally, I use my Zune primarily to listen to podcasts, and podcasts alone. (I’ve only recently really started to load up more than a gigabyte of music on my 8GB flash-based device.) In fact, I should probably do an entry highlighting the IT related podcasts I listen to as some point.

The software update’s available here:

Zune Desktop Software 2.3 Download

I discovered this interesting tool that got created because metadata was apparently getting lost in the past with versions of the desktop software prior to 2.1. It shouldn’t be run unless you have bad metadata in your songs. (Instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=945319)
