First post
Luckily zune drm media and 7MC play nice (weird. I know.), but as i was litening to music yesterday in MediaCenter, i realized i wanted a few more songs, but i'd have to pull out the ole keyboard and mouse to fire up zune. Not desireable. Any thougts?
Last post
That Buy Music option in Media Center has never worked properly to my knowledge and I don't know why its still in there. I agree it seems a no brainer to have the Zune Marketplace content available inside of Media Center. I personally wouldn't use it MS need to lower their prices first.

I have my main menu customized with Media Center Studio. After reinstalling some extenders, not all of my tiles are showing up on the extenders. They are still correct on the HTPC. Any idea how to get them to show again?

It's just Media Browser custom entry points. I've used them for quite a while. I restored them to stock and started all over. Works now.
