Problems with gdgt Podcast on Zune HD

I have been listening to the gdgt podcast from the start. Initially I was using my ipod Video and had no problems, chapters all worked etc. Then I got a Zune HD, and now I'm having issues.

Firstly I don't get chapters at all. Now I'll admit I haven't really looked into this too much before this post, so I guess chapters may not be an option on the Zune HD. But I also can't fast forward. If you try this it just skips back to 0:00. This is very annoying, because as much as I enjoy the podcast, if I'm 30mins in, I'm not sure I want to listen to it again.

This is the only Audio Podcast I have on the Zune, but the Video podcasts allow me to fast forward, as does Music/Video/Audiobooks

Anyone else had this problem?

Reboot the device. I have had that happen to me about 2-3 times since I got my first Zune in 2007, and this is how I got around this.

Just in case people don't know how to reboot.

I have the same problem with my podcasts and its rather annoying. I want to say it didn't really crop up until the most recent update, but I can't say that for certain.

I don't have any problem with the GDGT podcast, but I have the same problem with the Engadget Mobile podcast. If I try to fastforward or rewind, it starts the podcast over. Interesting.

Also, I don't think the Zune must do chapters (I don't have an iPod to compare it to.) At least mine doesn't.

You should probably subscribe to the MP3 version...the AAC version has those chapters and it's difficult to jump around the podcast.

Does the Zune recognize chapters in the AAC version?

i love my zune, but ***HATE*** there are no aftermarket car radios that are compatible :/
i do have a piece to get it connected to the stock radio.

this is just 1 reason zune falls behind the competition.

I really wish that someone would make a windows 7 phone that had the same aesthetics as the Zune HD. Its a gorgeous looking device and if it just had 3 buttons, a bigger, higher res screen and some actual buttons for volume/skip track/play/pause i think there would be many a person that would lust over it.

A couple of questions for Zune HD owners.
Do you use the WiFi sync often? How well does it work?
Do you subscribe to Zune Pass? Do you like it?
How's the browser?

ZUNE APPS: I chose between the zune hd and the ipod touch, i made the wrong mistake because the ipod touch has better apps and I love apps. I think with the hd and the great sound quality, that if the zune hd had the same apps as the ipod touch and more better ones the zune company could outsell the ipod touch!

I love my Zune HD! Super easy to navigate, colors & graphics are appealing and uncomplicated organization on the site and device. The Zune Social is the only issue, slow to update, most listened to tracks are off, but it's only minor. GDGT seattle had it on the new windows phone and it looked amazing!
