To Buy a Zune

This was a good TOP 5. I just brought an iPod Touch and would not trade it for any other system out there at this time. I had a Creatve Lab mp3 player that had FM radio on it but I found that I never used it at all. This is my first Apple product and I am hooked and want to buy more. Now, if I were a gamer and owned a Xbox I might find the Zune a better buy hoping that I could do some of the things you talked about with it.

this feature, but it’s a good idea to have if you want to listen to your favorite station, news, or if you just don’t want to listen to anything on your Zune. It is also possible to use this to listen to other people using their Original post byChris Pirillo

I Dont Really get the zune?

apple has already come out with multi touch and microsoft is only on clcik wheel???

and come on, internet on a media player is cooler that radio, duh???

my rating 1/10 only because it is good start for microsoft in the personal media world

Or, you could buy a Nokia N800 - it has all that and more - FM Turner, WiFi, Video, Firmware updates… But it also has a touch screen - a bigger screen at that - expandable storage, and you can get a keyboard and GPS for it (or wait and buy a N810).

And, it’s frequently on sale for less than $200 - Buy.com had it for $179.99 once. And when the N810 hits the market, the N800 will be even cheaper. I’ve got one, and I love it!

I have seen the Zune before and it looks like it has great potential, but that 3 day thing kills it. I completely understand why Microsoft does it, and I am not up on the Zune, but has any kind of homebrew come out for it? maybe someone can code a simple Homebrew app to transfer songs wirelessly without the DRM, even though that is technically illegal.

Yea I think I would buy a Zune but probably would use my iPod Classic more than it since I’ve gotten used to the ipod interface for so many years but getting a zune would be a nice addition but i would need to find a better media syncing tool than wmp because i seriously hate all versions from 7-11 . But I would still buy the zune.

A lot of other MP3/media players have FM radios in them. Now how good are they compared to the Zune? That I don’t know. If you can find a store with them all set up, you could test them all out on the same station in the same location, and see if any pick up stations better than others.

Just because iPods are the name brand does not mean they are the best. If your like me and don’t have $300 to spend on an mp4 player, the Zune (and other alternative companies like Sandisk and Creative Labs) are great. They come with more features than most iPods and are much cheaper. Although the 80’s screen is not very tough, I know a few people who have broken theirs by dropping them a few feet or something like that. But besides that, Zunes are growing in popularity, so its not to hard to find a friend to share music with.

thanks chris this video helped alot i just wish you would have made this video earlier because i just bought a ipod and am now regretting it.

I think the Zune might be a good product, but people in today’s society refuse to buy it because they think of the iPod as a fashion statement, with those white ear buds.

I’ve never liked Zunes. I have an iPod Mini and love it. It still works great after 2 1/2 years.

I have a Zune i like it. The firmware update are cool and help the Zune i also hope that they get games for it too. It was also cheaper then the i pod when i got it. Also liked that they add podcasts and now i know you have a podcasts.

Chris got the email the the night before he did this video. I should know. ;)

Anyway, the Zune uses it’s own software, it’s not the WMP anymore like the first version was an adaption for it.
The thing is the current Zunes are meant as Media Players. Not really as browsing the internet.
There are also several web communities for Zune owners and such as well, unlike people thinking that people aren’t buying it. And yes, it is a preference for whatever device you like.

I want a ZUNE! but, I’m Broke!

zune doesnt sell, because it is so ugly, comapred to ipod. ipod may have less features but it is so attracting.

yeah, i’m sure thats exactly why

even if the zune and ipod had the same exact features, I would pick the zune over the tired ipod design. Although, the touch is cool if thats what you meant

Microsoft Zune

A.K.A. The sucker’s iPod

hahaha… zune **** ipod man… buy one y youll see…

dude ipod goes seamlessly wit itune and supports more formats

ipod ftw

do you go out of your house??

well duh that would be stupid if an ipod didn’t work seamlessly since its how you stick on music and stuff. It also is the official mac/apple music player.

annoying *** voice

how do you put limwire songs onto zune>?????? HELP!

right click on the song’s icon, and go to properties, and where it says “Open’s With” click change and change it to Zune.

I really love my Zune, and i’m always excited about hearing about zunes because i cant wait for them to come to Canada, because no one in my area has one, Also I cant wait for XNA games to come out :)

Chris the posts i like most, are videos based on ubuntu, zunes, or any game system, I really like your blog.

it’d be cool if youtube could stream live videos

hey does the zune software work with xp???

have you tried to create a seperate music file for limewire music?? oh and limewire WILL mess up your zune!! so I suggest you put those songs into a cd.

yes

Zune is a really solid.customizeable. i love my zune.

[2:59] now i get it why the “zune” asked the “ipod” on the *** video: “can i squirt something?”

a have a zune and of course it Rocks!!!, and almost every mp3 player have a radio, just ipods doesnt have

I love my “Zune” i had a 1st gen iPod nano and a 5th gen iPod and i never had a music/video player that can do anything like Zune. I love the easy wireless syncing. I do admit the zune software is not the same as the itunes software and you got to learn your way around it but most of the same ways i would copy my dvd to watch on my iPod and convert my music worked the same for my Zune and i could use the same software.
