With 3.0, Zune Social is officially out of beta.

The site has been redesigned - fairly subtle set of changes but you should notice an improved look and usability. A lot of the changes are ‘back end’ and infrastructural, helping to position Zune Social for future growth and updates. Here are some of the more visible changes in Version 3.0:

Previously you had to go to Zune.net web pages to edit your profile, manage your friends, and mark favorites. You can now do all of that directly from Zune software.

You can now see your badges within the Zune software.

Album view - shows larger icons of album art when viewing collection.

You can now use the term “Zune” in your status in Zune Social.

Zune.net has a site redesign, with three design themes available.

Your profile now reflects your all-time listening stats. New badge levels are 200 plays for bronze, 1,000 plays for silver, and 5,000 plays for gold.

New forum badges

New artist pages show tracks that have been favorited, top listeners, and more.
