Microsoft Zune Feature Request
A Microsoft .NET API for the Zune.
Allow us to leverage the .NET Framework to create desktop apps able to interact with the Zune. Give us access to creating, editing, and deleting playlists, and adding, removing, or otherwise syncing music. I could understand if there was no support for DRM equipped music, but that wouldn't be a big deal for me (hey, I live in Canada and can't even buy from the Zune Marketplace yet :-) ).
For me, this would be a killer feature. It would allow me to fill in some of the gaps in the Zune software, such as podcast support. In fact, the first thing I would do is grab the source for one of the open source .NET feed readers (like RSSConnect, which, granted, is not as good as other feed readers like FeedReader) and add in Zune support.

Good idea. I'd like a few features myself, though not as robust as that. For instance, it'd be nice if you could connect the Zune, then open up the radio feature through the Zune software and listen to local FM right through your device. Or if they added in support for audiobooks. Though, I have found some chaptered mp3 verions of my old audiobooks. But audiobook support with a placeholder (like the videos) would be cooler.
