Do I Want a Zune?

I've used the Zune, and I've taken training courses online through Microsoft, and they are definitely nice.

The "three times over three days" thing is for any song you get wirelessly from someone. Everything that you put on from your own computer is fair game.

Personally I see the wireless connectivity as being really cool.

It has some very obvious advantages over the iPod. The screen is very impressive in size, and very sharp. We got one at work when someone returned one (the rest of the family had iPods, so they said they wanted to all stick to one type of player), and I took it out to try it out and make sure it worked fine. I loaded up one of the preloaded videos, which was for one of my favorite songs, "The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars. The video was very bright and smooth. Another advantage would be the built in FM tuner, which actually shows the name of the station, the name of the song, and the artist, provided the station in question is one of the many who transmits that data over the air with the songs. It had amazing reception inside our store, where reception is usually harsh. The menus are quite nice and easy to navigate.

Overall I'd take one over an iPod Video any day, and I'm a Mac user. I'd gladly tether it to the family computer to use it. I think it's an awesome piece of tech, and I work with technology every day.
 
mp3 players have way too much memory these days...




I mean, who would ever listen to OVER 9,000 SONGS!!?!?
 
The Samsung YP-K5 looks like a cool mp3 player... but the downside is it only holds 4 gigs max

If the thing was slimmer and held atleast 60 Gigs... I would definately buy it.

Has the coolest interface I've seen in an mp3 player as well.
 
What are you seriuosly going to do with 60 gigs or memory? That's ALOT of music. 4 gigs seems pretty ok.
 
Considering the fact that I already have 30 gigs of music on my harddrive and I still listen to a lot of the music I have?
When I download music, I download their whole discography because it's a habit of mine. Not only that, I'm constantly downloading new music everyday so its good to fill up all the memory I have on my player.

well, if I had 60 gigs, i'd fill up all my songs and then round it off with a few movies or anime or hell, even some toku to go. The Zune screen is a good sized screen compaired to the "everyone looks like ants" screen of an Ipod.
 
Archos are pretty popular in the UK mainly because of the amount of space you get with the more advanced versions and some of them can even play h.264 files thru plugins as well altho I'd love to have a plugin if I got to buy one that allowed you to play MKV files...
