I LOVE THE ZUNE! THE IPOD DOES NOT COMPARE AT ALL TO THIS!

Advantages: Big screen, customisable, fun games, easy use and navigation
Disadvantages: The headphones that come with the box are a bit plastic-y

When i first purchased my zune, which was around 100 pound less than i would have had to pay for an ipod, i was a bit shocked by the size of it. After having this music player for over 2 years, i still feel it has been my favourite purchase ever. The sheer robustness of this player amazes me! i have dropped this off my lap many times to find it still doesn't have a single scratch on it, now i'm not saying it's invincible, but its very durable and ...
...smudge free, the plastic casing is like magic :) In my opinon the interface on these players are a dream! and highly customisable, you can have your own wallpaper etc, screen is verrrrry big! big enough to enjoy a movie in bed with i would say. With 30gb at your bay, you have a hell of a lot of room to store your music, videos, and podcasts - on the subject of podcasts and music, the Zune Marketplace that you sign up with when you get your zune is ...

Review of Microsoft Red Zune 30GB

Black 4GB Zune

Advantages: Compact, customizable, Stylish
Disadvantages: Small amount of memory, Small Screen

The four gig zune is basically a mini version of the big 30 gig zune. It has very clear sound with the music and radio. It holds a decent amount of songs, photos, and videos. It comes with FM Radio and the option to set presets. The navigation on menu was fairly simple and easy to use. It has great customization features, such as being able to set a wallpaper. The small screen has very good resolution. I wouldn't recommend it for watching movies, ...

Review of Microsoft Zune 4GB

Microsoft Zune 80Gb audio and video player

Advantages: 80Gb disk, FM radio, video player, wireless synchronisation, neat device and OS
Disadvantages: Problems with dvr-ms files, annoying synch app, possible probs with encrypted wireless

The Microsoft Zune 80 is the Zune 30's bigger brother. It plays MP3, WMV, WMA, MP4 music and video files, displays JPEG pictures and has an FM tuner, but its real value is its truly whopping 80GB hard disk which can hold my entire music library and several full length films. It also supports wireless connection to your home network and can transfer music wirelessly to nearby Zune users (with restrictions) should you have the urge so to do. Given ...
...a nice change for a Microsoft offering. The screen shows a big picture of any album art associated with a piece of music, and you can fast forward through a piece with the 'squircle' button. You can also lock the machine using a slide button at the top edge, either when running (to ensure your song list isn't interrupted with accidental button pushes) or when turned off (to ensure it isn't accidentally turned on). The 3.2-inch video screen was big, ...

Review of Microsoft Zune 80GB

Zune is a superior MP3 player

Advantages: Great interface, radio tuner built in, good battery life
Disadvantages: A little different at first, takes a little time to get used to it.

I have had an iPod, like so many, for years and years. It wasn't until about a year ago I discovered that there ARE other MP3 players out there. These MP3 players can be good too! the Zune is by far one of the best I've found. It has an interesting and unique interface. It can be a little bit intimidating at first, but has many different features that you are sure to love. the Zune has a radio feature that allows you to listen to your favorite radio ...
...the Zune Pass which you can buy for 1 month or 3 months at a time, and you are allowed to download unlimited music to your computer and MP3 player! Only thing is, once the subscription ends, your songs go away. They have added a new feature to this to make it more worth your while in that you get to KEEP 10 songs each month. So, it is practically like buying a CD each month and getting unlimited download capabilities. In short, the battery life, ...

Review of Microsoft Zune 8GB

Basic but good mp3 player.

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Basic functionality

I had this mp3 player for a couple of years and I grew to really like it. Please note that newer more fancy mp3 players are available now, although I bought mine a few years back. The player is reliable and never broke down. It is easy to use and you don't need to ever read the instruction manual. The display screen is small, but you can still see whatever you need to see. When looking at lists of songs you can see 3 songs displayed on screen ...
...great. I bought better ones for around 10 pounds seperately. The sound quality is good, and so is the FM radio. You can't watch videos on this, its only for music, and there is no connectivity to the internet either. You can't read books on this, nor are there any games. It's not a telephone. This is not the best player you can buy! However as a value for money proposition it worked for me. ...
