Zune–Love things that just work

It’s summer, and part of computer science for me is enjoying technology and how it works.  Example, my Zune player and purchasing music.  Sadly, an album I wanted isn’t available yet on the Zune.  But it’s an artist I really like (Bret MIchaels), don’t always like his music, but like how he handled himself on Celebrity Apprentice and he is raising money for Type 1 Diabetes, and doing that well.

Anyway, here’s the tech part.  I’ve got my Amazon MP3 downloader files linked directly to my Zune files, so when I buy music on Amazon, in about two minutes it downloads and is on my Zune, with a pretty much no-brainer.  I did click on the Sync Now button, so that it would get loaded faster.

On the other hand, downloading Audible books isn’t quite that easy and I wish it was.  I have to manually tell the Audible Download to download stuff and manually since it to the Zune, and have to get out of the Zune software and into the Audible software to do it.  Awkward.  Especially since I like to download the NY times audible digest daily.
