 Zune Not As Good As Nano January 3, 2008
Mason Bane

I needed an MP3 player to wear on my arm for bicycling and working out. I have a 1st gen Ipod that is huge and impractical. The technology has gotten so much better that the Zune 8GB is about 1/5 the size of my 10GB Ipod. And my Ipod doesn't play vids and has a black and white display.
I checked out what was out there in very small MP3/vid/FM stereo players I narrowed it down to the Zune, Ipod Nano and the Sansa View. I already had an Ipod and I wanted to try something new.
When opening the box you see the incredible cutting edge marketing that was involved in competing with Apple. So I was initially blown away by opening up the package.
But then I got into comparing some of the features and the Ipod Nano started looking better. I was like - where is the EQ on the Zune . . . there is none! The Nano has EQ and you can play TV shows and output to your TV with it. You have to watch all your video sideways on the Zune and then the controls work differently because it is on its side. Also, I went to buy and arm band for the Zune so I could ride bike and work out and there is nothing out there. And if you want peripherals and speakers and stuff, it seems like everything is made for the Nano.
And the software interface of Itunes is so much better than Zune.
So I took back the 8GB Zune and got the 8GB Nano.
Ignore the stars above I give it 3 stars.
 Zune is great, software isn't. January 2, 2008

First, they didn't ship ship a software CD with the Zune. So, because I didn't have an internet connection at the time, I had to go to my friend's house just to download the software.
I like the Zune hardware better than the Ipod. The interface is much easier to use and the screen is better vertically placed like the Zune.
What I don't like is the Zune software and the limitations of it. The software is too simplistic and doesn't allow as much customization as iTunes. iTunes seems more complete and professional. The thing I hate most about the Zune software is that you can't drag and drop music to it. You have to have a folder monitored by the software and it will take care of it for you. That's the only way to add music to it.
The Zune works similarly. You add music to the Zune by monitoring your Zune Music Collection which monitors a folder with your music in it. The lack of drag and drop convenience is the big killer of the Zune.
Finally, the touch pad they changed to is just a gimmick. I couldn't find any use for it. I prefer the way it is on the 1st generation Zune.
 Works pretty well for the most part January 2, 2008

I bought this for a Christmas present. So far it works pretty well. A couple complaints are that we've spent over 8 hours trying to figure out how to get podcasts to show up correctly in the player podcast area. For some reason, if they are not from the Zune Marketplace, they just won't show in the correct spot. They keep showing up in the music area. Screen is small with the 4gb model, but very sharp. I was able to play some videos, but they don't support enough types yet. If you like a nice small flash player for music, this item fits the bill. If you want more, you might be a bit disappointed. The price was very competitive compare to Ipods though so what you get for the money might be enough. I think Microsoft should spend more time on the basics and less time on the practically worthless wireless sharing thingamajig.
Works pretty well for me January 2, 2008

So this is my first MP3 player, so I cannot provide a detailed comparison with the ... you know ... the other brand. I haven't wasted my time in research on the topic either, this is a $150 device with a pretty simple functionality so I don't really care : when the time comes to drop 3 grands on a 60" TV I'll be more careful. I just happened to like the form factor better and I like that there is competition in a market too. I'm not invested in any particular DRM'd ecosystem, I use the device for listening to my ripped CDs and AmazonMP3 DRM-free tracks so anything would work for me.
Zune 4GB microsoft January 1, 2008

i really liked the menu of the zune (2nd gnrtion) it's way easy to use and
also the browsing is easier than ipods, at least for me, i've been using both for several years and now i prefer zune. really good sound as the song is recorded.
contras: well, i guess they didnt make a EQualizer or presets to set music. also when you buy it (even new), at least the (2nd GNRTION) dont bring the CD with it, you have to download all the software from the website, that's a little confusing for someone who's not Bill gates. but anyway, if you want to surprise somebody with a gift, this is a good choice.
