Zune Review [Posted on 2008-07-08]
I like the Zune. One because its not an Ipod, which I hate. Two because I can put more than just music on it. I can set my own wallpaper in the background and its easy to go from menu to menu. It is a little more user friendly than the Ipod because it's not touch sensitive. Also it has a nice sized screen. My only concern is that it doesn's have an off button or switch so you really don't know if its off. Nor does the battery last as long if you are listening at a high volume. Its worth what I paid for it so I'm happy with my purchase.
1st Generation Zune - Not even close [Posted on 2008-07-11]
I've owned a 1st generation 30gb Zune since the first of 2008. I've applied all available software/firmware updates. It has more working against it than for it. But I use it everyday because I don't want to risk losing my iPod Touch.
The main complaints are the horrible software; the USB 1.1 transfer speed (takes literally hours to load movies); the lack of any ability to organize videos in any way and songs only into basic groups; the way it doesn't remember where you left off while listening to songs in a very long list; no way to delete files from collection but keep in player (deletes without asking when re-connecting); scrolling and more scrolling, clicking and more clicking (no shortcuts).
It's not all bad: Good audio quality; video is passable but nowhere near the Touch; good size and comfort; good battery.
Like I said, this is my everyday player but if I didn't have my iPod to fall back on, I'd be disappointed.
OMG Its rubbish [Posted on 2008-07-11]
I have use many mp3 players and omg this is the absolute pits.
1.The interface is awful (I actually had to create playlists and put music on my freinds one)
2.It doesn't accept much music (In europe) without obtaining it illegally.
3.The bundled software is WOW Bad seriously.
4.Sound quality is below average
5.It is massive (I seriously couldn't fit it in most of my trouser pockets)
I now use a 5G ipod 30GB. I never actually owned one of these but borrowed it from a freind for a few months for a test run and was greatly disappointed. He doesn't know much about audio quality so he's happy and besides what he doesn't know won't hurt him. I am not an apple fanboy by any means because I am in the process of getting a cowon iAudio
which is supposed to be very good. I am just giving my view and am trying to advise anybody considering this product to avoid it at all costs.
Love it!!! [Posted on 2008-07-13]
I absolutely love my Zune. I've had it for a year and a half now. The Zune marketplace is the best. I pay 15 dollars a month for unlimited downloads. I use it everday. Yea this review sounds like a commercial but it's really nice. IPOD KILLER!!
Great player, terrible battery [Posted on 2008-07-14]
I haven't explored all the functions yet, but so far the Zune has worked out nicely as an alternative to the iPod. The one downfall that I have definitely noticed is the lack of battery life. I don't use it all day, but it seems as though the battery doesn't last that long.
Overall, it's a nice player. Still need to check out all the other cool features. (video player, wireless connection, Zune-to-Zune sharing, etc.)
