How about the problem saying that you can't play the song because its expired or something...can you help me at that?

@imred3345l It sounds like you have music you downloaded via Zune Pass, but aren't currently a Zune Pass subscriber. The "fix" is to start paying for your Zune Pass again. :-)

I hate zune players cuz one day i update it and all my music was damaged and not playable or downloadable on my comp! I spent about 300 dollars on music and im sitting here looking at an error and a bunch of damaged song that i cant get back. i called them and they said that they cant refund me any of the money that i spent on all the song that i no longer am able to listen to! WTF! I currently use a sony walkman for a player and i have about 20 dollars of the songs back. Any advice or help!?!?

@MidgetMan14xxEClipse If you don't have a backup of your music, I think you're probably screwed...backups are CRITICAL for digital content. :-(
