Well, to be fair, Zune isn't "3rd party software." It's Microsoft media
management and sync software for Microsoft's Zune-based players, of which
Windows Phone 7 devices are. It's essentially MS' version of iTunes.

Has the Zune software "found" all of your albums? It taks anywhere from
a few minutes to a half-hour the first time, depending on the number you
have. Zune, by default only looks in the "standard" Windows music
andvideo folders (and their subfolders.)
Put the media anywhere else and Zune can't find it unless you tell it
where to look. (Which can be specified in the Zune settings.)

You were probably searching for an album Zune hadn't found yet, so it
took you shopping when it couldn't find it on your PC,.

By "files" I assume you mean Calendar and Contacts data?

No, in fact Zune will not sync Outlook data at all- just media. With WP7
all contacts and calendar data is synced over the air, either with an
Exchange server, GMail, or Live/Hotmail.
To sync with a PC, you must use Exchange ($$) or Live (free) as an
intermediary. I wrote up a how-to for a friend's website. It's available
here:

But, in a nutshell, you need to setup the Outlook Connector for Hotmail
on your PC which will sync your PC to a Live/Hotmail account, and then
sync your phone with the same account.

That's the "Zune Social." Don't use it if you don't want to. It doesn't
affect the phone.

I did move my music folder from it's default location to a memory a high
capacity memory card and I can't remember if I did it before or after
installing Zune software. I did adjust Zune settings to look at the memory
card. Can I get Zune to rescan my computer for music? When I click
"Collection" it just shows me the 4 alblums that did successfully transfer
over.
