Microsoft has issued a fix to correct the problem. Oh, and by the way, they now say “the fix is simple”: http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/zune30.htm

Currently, Microsoft has not issued a statement on why their Zune music player is crashing. Nor has the company issued a fix to correct the problem.
Has your 30GB Zune stopped working, too?
Just wondering. It’s either a hoax or a serious Microsoft faux-pas. WebGyver is voting for the latter. The Zune online forums are completely slammed and overloaded with requests at the moment.
If you happen to have a Zune 30, check out the following news sources:

The reports that all of the world’s 30 GB Zune MP3 players have at once suddenly frozen up seem to be true.

GIZMODO: 30GB Zunes Failing Everywhere, All At Once
Apparently, around 2:00 AM today, the Zune models either reset, or were already off. Upon when turning on, the thing loads up and… freezes with a full loading bar (as pictured above). I thought my brother was the only one with it, but then it happened to my Zune. Then I checked out the forums and it seems everyone with a 30GB HDD model has had this happen to them…
