I Luv My Zune
Since it's a very short list, here are the failings of the Zune...
1. Podcasting! I don't give a flying fig about them, but honestly even though it won't "seamlessly update" like itunes. It can be done. In fact some more tech savy folks can tell you exactly how to do it. Just search the net, many Zune users have accomplished it just fine. The audio file doesn't care which player is playing it.
2. Accessories!! No, you can't go into any store or autodealer and find a ho...

It's all about the sound...
I got my Zune just after Christmas this year when everyone was showing up at work with their new iPods, Creative Zens, and other personal media players. Feeling left out, I decided to go check out the market to see if I could find a product that would meet my needs as a consumer. After a week of research and checking out the store displays, I decided to purchase the Zune player and I've been very satisfied with the product overall.
During my research, I found some bad reviews abou...

I tried to like it.
So i picked this product up after my brother had an unfortunate accident with my 30g black iPod, i thought what the hell, i love Microsoft software, i might as well try some hardware.
i was really excited when i received the player, first of all the EXCELLENT packaging, its VERY well done, and now i see why they put so much effort into the packaging.
Upon taking the player out for the first time i was immediatly dissapointed with the size and build quality of the Zune,...

So close to being the Ipod killer they hoped for.
I wont get too wordy, Just the good & bad:
Bad:
* You MUST use the Zune software to load music onto the device. This forces you to use their somewhat cumbersome & buggy software. I expect it will improve in its next iteration, but it leads into my second point..
* No way to utilize as an external storage device. This should be a simple & straightforward implementation. Almost every other player on the market can do this, the Zune should be able to as well.

never a problem
I've had my Zune for 7 months and I've NEVER had a problem with it. Not once!! The software works and has worked perfectly for me (including the brand new update!)
It's an amazing device to bring on vacations because with proper applications, DVD movies, and tv shows recorded from my computer can be put onto the Zune.
It's fantastic. I treat my electronics wonderfully and take care of them so I never have any problems. Some of the people who have troubles with the Zune...

Gave it shot, and am pleased after a week trial...
I'm an Asian geek who loves electronics, so I had to try this thing out. Like many, I also own an iPod... but mine is a 40GB 4th gen WITHOUT video. I've been craving a video and music player for a long time... So after a few weeks of research, I finally saw that Best Buy had the Zune on sale for $199 ($50 less than a 30GB 5th gen iPod). "Let's give it a shot" I thought, and with a total of $25 in Best Buy coupons, I went for it. I figured for $175 before taxes, trying out the Zune was a no-b...

Good Player! But has room for improvement.
I bought this at Best Buy not knowing what it had to offer (other then it had music, pictures and videos.) Since I have so much feedback for this player, I've divided it into three sections. Good, Bad, and the Ugly.
Good: Great big screen, case is sturdy, interface and menu is easy to use. The music is very clear and along with the big screen to playing videos. Also has WiFi built it to send songs, pictures, and videos to other Zune holders. Software is OK, but I've never come acros...

A nonbiased review of the brown brick
OKay, so there seems to be a buttload of people trying to pass this thing off as a dead-in-the-water attack on the I-pod before they have have even put their grimey little hands on it. Here's a fair and honest look at it from someone who has had both a mini and an Ipod video.
1. It's big and remarkably sturdy. Bigger than the Ipod Video. Bigger screen, bigger body and a thick protective cover about a millimeter thick all the way around. I feel I could drop this thing from a decent h...

Huge MS fan hates Zune: No Folders! No Drag & Drop!
I'm a soldier preparing to deploy sometime in the (non-specified) future to a non-specified middle-eastern country currently the center of our fight with certain insurgents.
Along with 29 other soldiers, I was given a Zune as part of an intensive Arabic language course running for about 20 weeks. I guess the idea will be that we'll use them with our language CDs to study.
Of course when I installed the Zune on my Vista laptop, it grabbed every file, including some pictu...
