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.

Quick review of Microsoft Zune 80GB
The Zune MP3 player has a lot of good things to it:
1) Its easy to add files. (not like the iPod)
2) It looks beautiful and comes in many different colors.
