Well, there was a delay the last time, so it’s possible there will be this time…that all I was saying.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I hope they wait until 11:59:59 pm March 31st if thats what it takes to get the best firmware possible. I dont want them to rush it out and it be incomplete, why not take the time and work out as much as possible.
Will that firmware have more ID3 tag display such as year, bitrate, comment, disc number, etc.?
Also do you know if the clip will be getting that type of update sometime in the future too?
I dunno.

I haven’t heard there will be any more ID3 tag info displayed on the player in the next release, but I think they are working on it for the future, probably accessed through the ‘sub-menu’ while a song is playing.
The Clip just got an un-announced update a week ago.

It was definitely on the “down-low”…I popped in here that day 5 minutes after sansafix posted(in a reply to a question) that it would be happening 3 hours later…I felt like a detective, or something

I would like to have these options added to the upcoming firmware.
1.A music search option.
2.When a song is playing an option to browse songs from the same artist.
3.Support for WMV.
4.Support for tagged album art.
5.Compatibility with other video transfer softwares other than SMC.
Ill be really happy if these options can be included in the upcoming firmware or later firmwares if possible

2 & 4 are already possible.
To see other songs by an artist, start playing a song, then hit the menu button (6 o’clock) and then choose back to music list. It only works with songs by the same artist.
And If you are using mp3 all you gotta do is add the art to the songs tag and it will work. I suggest using mp3 tag for this.

1.Explanation for 1st point:a music search option like the music search option that come with iPods.
2.This is what I mean for the 2nd point:When you are playing a random song using the option play all in the fuze and when you press back to music list you don’t get results from the same artist.You get all the songs listed.I want an option to browse songs from the same artist immediately like the option in the 4th gen iPod nano. 
HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY POINT
Thanks,

I’ve never had an iPod, so I’m not familiar with their search function and how it works

You can go to the artist list and select that artist, but I guess it would be an extra step beyond what you are describing(still easily done in a couple seconds) and again, never having used an iPod, I can’t be exactly sure what you’re describing
if you want that feature then get a frickin ipod and leave us alone. I cant wait for the new firmware. maybe instead of calling it 1.01.22 or whatever give it a name like “The Evolution” and dont forget those new wallpaper colors like White, Black and Red.

I dont know what you know about the Fuze but all of those are seemingly doable. its not to much to request and there is no reason to say “Go away” when a reasonalbe request is made. The key thing here is this… YOU HAVE TO WAIT! Nothing is instant when it has to be developed writen and tested, so make your player work for now and be patient who knows what we will get in upcomming FWs
I’m just still wondering if anything is being done to make the go list, you know, useable?
Heck, I’d be glad lose several of the current features just to be able to add stuff to a playing go list on the fly.
Album art? Background art? Videos? Photo albums? Who cares - I just want basic jukebox functionality.

What is the problem you have with the go list? The last firmware enabled adding entire artist and Alum to the go list, and if you are talking about the 1-2 seconds you have to wait, thats an unavoidable thing, the fuze has to process your input. I went back and read you other post about this issue,and I bet its just hard enough to do so it wont happen, Seems to me I would add more songs to the Go list, then load a single track from the song menu to play and then when thats over go back to the go list.

Make it usable? I find it easy as can be…it’s actually the only playlist I’ve ever bothered with. So, just to make sure I’m understanding you, you want the option to add more to it while it’s already playing?
I’m in agreement on video…I don’t use it or add photos, I even uninstalled SMC. Album art is cool, but I don’t stress if it doesn’t work.

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking about the submenu. Or maybe pressing the center button while the song is playing.
