I loved my Zune, all the way. I've never had an iPod, I'm sure they're great but I've always wanted something with radio built in that could hold all of my songs. The only mp3 I've had before this was a Sony 256 MB Walkman. Ha! Only held 100 songs. I had my Zune for 2 months before I lost it (probably stolen) and it made me so mad. That thing was awesome!
 Zune is pretty good. September 30, 2008
I like the sound quality of my Zune. It is easy to operate and get started using- that is after you spend an eternity charging it for the first time. It took me 4 1/2 hours to charge it and you can't do a thing with it until it is finished. That is my only complaint with my Zune that its' charge runs down very quickly-even when you are not using it-and it takes a long time to charge it from the USB port on your PC. However, for my first venture into the MP3 world, I will say it was relatively easy.
 Could have been really great September 29, 2008
The main reason people are going to choose the Zune over anything else is the size of the hard drive and with the new 120gb model out its simply an enormous amount of storage but Microsoft have made a dogs dinner out of some of the features.
1. Software. Extremely annoying-doesn't delete when it says it does, synching is a right pain with a silly folder method, drag and drop doesnt work all of the time.
2. Extras. Unless youre a computer geek then any videos you want to put on this have to be converted to WMV files or MP4 files and this involves buying a converter. It takes an absolute age to both convert and then synch these onto the Zune. It doesnt come with a case of any kind unlike the Iriver H10,see below.
3. Audio. Iriver owners will appreciate what I'm saying here. I had a H10 for years and the amount of presets it had including an equalizer AND SRS wow made the H10 a superb player accoustically. The Zune has absolutely nothing!!! I mean come on! Not even bog standard treble and bass like your old Sony 1990 walkman used to have.
4. Radio. Yes its great to have a radio but why not have presets?
Ok thats the negatives. The positives are that the screen is beautiful and clear and its easy to use and is a monster of a thing at 80gb and 120gb respectively.
I got mine as a present-if I had bought it I probably wouldnt have been amused-the lack of any equalizer on the sound really is incredible though.
AMAZINGLY GREAT !!! September 26, 2008
It's an amazing device that keeps you organized in the music, videos, games, pictures, and any other documental information you want to input it.

This Zune never worked! I'm very desapointed with Microsoft and Amazon.
I'm still trying to receive my money back in cash instead of gift card!!!
