 Love the Zune! September 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received the 8GB Zune as a gift from my husband. It's my third MP3 Player, my first Zune. The two previous players were SanDisk Sansa's. I just love this Zune! It gets such a bad rap from so many people....mainly those pro iPod, but it's a great little, easy to use player, and the best part is you don't have to be tied to iTunes. I just installed the 3.0 software that was released the other day, and now it's even more fun than before. I've bought music from the Zune Marketplace, which is very easy, and of course, there's nothing better than Amazon MP3 for DRM free music purchases. I certainly can see a 16GB Zune in my future!
Beautiful and easy to use September 18, 2008
I bought one for my wife and she love is. It has it's own style, has very light weight and is easy to use.
8 gig zune Media player (2nd Generation) September 18, 2008
I have to admit that I was not expecting to have very much memory when I ordered this zune,But as I began loading songs I was amazed at how much it held. I was able to put my entire music library into it.
The quality of this device is by far more then I expected and I really love how easy it is to add songs and etc. They have a set up menu that is easy to understand and access and quick!
In my opinion the zune beats the i pod by far.
I loved it so much that I bought the 80 gig for my daughter, and she tells me that she loves it, and all of her friends are now going over to the Zunes.
3rd Generation Zune 16GB rocks! September 17, 2008
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
I just picked this up yesterday and I am very impressed. Move over Apple!
Pros:
- Great user interface. It's elegantly designed and very easy to navigate. I like the button touch volume control which allows me to change volume through a cover or through my pockets (something you can't do on the ipod). The player itself is beautiful too.
- Lightweight and easy to use device. The actual device is basically the same as the 4GB and 8GB 2nd generation models. LCD, weight, and hardware functionality is basically identical as far as I can tell. Of course, here you get 16GB of memory.
- Love the FM radio and new Zune 3.0 features. You can easily add songs you like while listening to the radio to your cart (on your device) and then download them either when you connect to your computer later or immediately through a wifi network. You also have the wifi marketplace which allows easy download of songs with Zunepass and I like now that there is a clock on the device.
- The software PC interface is slick and intuitive. You can easily drag and drop songs to reorganize them and I the interface is far more slick than iTunes. There are helpful features to get album art or even missing tag information on music as well. MixView is a very cool feature that enables you to see related artists with a simple click of the mouse. There's also a user rating system for songs though the classification is binary - either like or don't like.
- Great sound fidelity, although there is again no equalizer
- Superfast download/sync speeds. Downloaded about 3,000 songs in minutes!
Cons:
- You need Zunepass to get the most out of the marketplace, and it's expensive at $15/ month. But for that, you can wirelessly (through wifi) preview songs and download them (and most songs/artists are available on Zunepass). And if you ever stop your subscription, you lose your music. If that's unappealing, you can always download and pay for songs individually.
- Online marketplace interface can be a little vexing and still a work in progress. The music is there, but not the easiest to get to it.
- Earbuds that come with the device are so so. To get full sound fidelity, probably will need to upgrade them.
- 1.8" screen is great for navigation and music, but only adequate for video. If you want primarily a video device, I'd get the 120GB 3rd generation video player. The screen is much bigger (3.2") though the overall device is bigger and heavier (4.5 ounces vs. 1.7 for the 16GB)
- 16GB model only available in black and like previous versions, scratches/smudges show up easily.
All in all, I am psyched they came up with a 16GB version without increasing the size. I primarily use this as a music player and couldn't be happier with my purchase!
16GB Zune September 16, 2008
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I got my new 16GB Zune today and I looove it. Didn't take very long to load up all my music, and the controls are great and easy to use. I love that it has an FM radio. The screen is beautiful, and yay no itunes! I've already listened to hours of music and the battery meter hasn't budged. I recommend this slick little number. - oh I almost forgot - no equalizer. That is the only mark against it, but so far it hasn't been a problem for me.
