Common reason given by Microsoft Zune MVP are,
1) Tags are bad (why can't they use folder, filenames??)
2) Format is wrong (its MP3!!)
3) Incompatible DRM (why does rest of the music players have no problem??)
4) Music or the metadata is corrupted (??)
5) Any other lame excuse.

Or you might just be lucky and Zune would show all your files.

PS: Note that Zune can sync only music, video or pictures with your phone. No other file. For syncing any file, you have to use online storage like Skydrive.

Wow thanks for the list. With these limitations, I doubt I will even consider buying the Windows Phone. I tired downloading apps to increase the font size for contacts but after creating the live ID, it keeps on giving error code. App was did not download. Using Android is way too easy and practical.

I would advice you to wait for windows 8 phone rather going for windows 7.5 as the same will not be upgraded to windows 8 due to hardware restrictions.

Though it will be upgraded to 7.8 but the faith is still not known.

please check the limitations of windows phone mentioned in the following link

All Nokia Lumias have Nokia Drive, which is an excellent offline navigation map. Only draw back is to search for destination it need to be online, but that also depends on destination.

Vikram, he meant Google Drive (erstwhile Docs). I dont think there is a Google Drive app on the WPstore, preserving interests of SkyDrive perhaps?

Going :OT here, but Google drive is not a mapping application! It used to be google docs. Wiki link

The op asked for a google drive replacement, not a mapping tool.
