 Microsoft finally got something RIGHT September 5, 2008
After purchasing 4 or 5 30GB Chocolate Zunes from Amazon.com when they were at "fire-sale" prices, and being totally pleased with them, (I gave some away as gifts) I decided to try the 8GB Zune2. I couldn't be happier! For my needs all my Zunes work perfectly. On my 30GB Zunes I watch mostly wmv videos, many of which I DVR from the cable, remove the commercials, convert them to wmvs using Sony Vegas, and watch them on my Zunes at my convenience. The 8GB Zune2 I just got is used mostly to play streamed talk radio, because I like to listen to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity at my convenience, plus I play wmv videos while waiting for my wife at the doctor's office. Excellent job Microsoft, you finally got something RIGHT!!! wrh
Love this player! September 1, 2008
For those of you who are looking for an alternative to the iPod, you won't be disappointed with this player. The controls are easy to use with a nice layout and very visually appealing. Although the screen is a bit tiny, the picture is exceptional. The player is very lightweight, and can easily be slipped into your pocket and carried around. I also really like the Zune program used to transfer your music onto your device- easy to use with a cool layout.
I wish the player had a clock, but I guess we can't have it all.
Strongly preferred to iPod nano which I also like September 1, 2008
Bought the Zune 8GB (2nd gen, Pink) after being very happy with 80GB Zune. Was trying to decide between this Zune and iPod nano, of which I bought for my niece and brother. iPod nano is a solid unit, and very solid so I was attracted to the iPod, especially because older daughter has a 30GB iPod Video which is two years old and has been great). Nonetheless, the radio feature on the Zune was a plus for me, and the price point of the Zune beat the Nano. This unit cost $30 less through Amazon than a 4GB Nano at best price I could find. That made it a no brainer since I was happy with the quality of the Zune 2nd generation device I myself bought (80GB unit).
After researching video encoding on the internet, I was able to figure out how to rip/decode my dvds, shrink the file size, and reencode them to a format was compatiable with Zune. Took some time (about a week, starting with virtually no previous tech knowledge of video files), but the 8gb Zune reviewed here has 3 full length Harry Potter movies on it, a modest audio collection and is still only half full. I myself can't see watching a full length movie on that screen, but 10 year old child does it without complaining.
Wireless syncing of library and wireless syncing between this Zune and my own worked as advertised.
Overall, very happy with Zune 8GB--definitely recommend, especially to those who want FM radio.
Great MP3 Player - Horrible Instruction Manual August 25, 2008
The Zune 8GB media player is an excellent MP3, picture and video player. The menus are very easy to use (once you figure it out on your own) and the storage space is ample.
My only frustration after purchasing the Zune and beginning to try to use it is that the very vague, short and overly simplified instruction manuals are basically worthless. I had to guess about pushing the center of the control pad to select something in a menu. It took me several minutes to figure this out on my own and no where in the instructions does it instruct you to do this. I think they need to include much more detailed instructions so that new users don't have to go on line and search for instructions on something so basic and simple. It really wouldn't be hard for them include a slightly more detailed instruction manual.
Zune 4 GB August 23, 2008
This is a great product. I'm very impressed with all of the Zune MP3 players. I already have a 80GB & a 30GB. We love them all. I would suggest a Zune over an Ipod anyday.
