The new USB cable arrived on Tuesday but just got around to trying it out. Used it with my wife's Zune 2. The car 'saw' it was a Zune and could see all the albums, tracks and metadata. However, when I tried to play a track it seemed to work but no sound came out. I found that there was a flash update for the Zune itself which I applied to the Zune. After that I got the same results in the car except this time the car said every track was not playable.
Now the good news, I bought a new 8 gig PNY USB thumb drive for $39, copied all the music files from the Zune (WMA files) to the drive. Hooked the thumb drive to the car and they all played just great and the car showed all the metadata, etc. for each one. My original plan was to use a cheap thumb drive I could leave in the car so this is just fine for me. Anybody try another MP3 player yet?
