But that was after MediaPlayer.Play was called. I discovered it only happens when I try to play a song downloaded from zune marketplace. This line plays the song.     MediaPlayer.Play(CurrentAlbum.Songs, CurrentSongIndex); I set a breakpoint it right after this line in VC#,  and if I try to play a song ...

Does that mean this song is DRM restricted thus can't be played in xna environment, or something else? I can still get the song info (album, artist, albumart, etc.) Thank you.

[ Somebody from the team answered my suggestion on Connect MS, "by design", then it was closed when I was typing a rely to that. I am just gonna post it here.] From XNA team: Thanks for the feedback. As you noticed the MediaQueue has been moved under the MediaPlayer. Also the change to PlayPosition was made after our ...

So it is not coming back. Thank you for clarifying that :(

Alright, now I see they moved MediaQueue under MediaPlayer as one of its properties, should have noticed. Thank you for pointing that out. Then again, I can't agree with you about the "user expectation" issue. I can see your point about user's right to enjoy the music, but if you are playing a game or running a program, it ...

[quote user="Nick Gravelyn"][quote user="sectionboy"]Edit: I just found out there is no constructors for MediaQueue class in 3.0beta, now you totally lost me! Why do you still keep it in xna then?! I can't construct one, nor can I refer to its members 'cause they are non-static. Great![/quote]They keep it in ...

If you're playing with your console, you surely expect some thing happen to the devices it connects to. You move the joystick, the sprite on your TV might move; you push a button, it shouldn't be surprising if the speaker makes a noise. Of course, the player knows what's gonna happen, let it be TV or speaker or another media player on ...

Can someone explain to me why change this? It was writable in CTP.  Now I can't fast forward or rewind in my zune music player. I really don't see any reason for that. It just looks like one of the arbitrary restrictions to me. Edit: I just found out there is no constructors for MediaQueue class in 3.0beta, now you totally ...

I am surely not trying to gain any performance by threading, just as you said, some tasks are naturely suitable being done that way. But I would like to know how efficient the threading code/lib is on zune before I dive into it. Thanks for the reply.
