Goes with me everywhere. Even gave my Ipod away ok.. This actually my second 30 GB Zune. I still have my first one as I use it at work for when i work out during lunch. I prefer the Micrsoft Zune's software for organizing my music.
I have owned my first Zune for over 6 years and have never had a problem. It may not have HD video and all the cool applications like a Apple touch. But it does do the one thing I want it to. There are great alternatives with Creative and Apple. I have found my Zune to be more reliable software wise when compared to my creative mp3 player.
And the Zune holds more than the flash creative drives I looked at. It might be an old design and it definitely is not a device with a lot of apps; however, it is sturdy and I will not have to re-organize my windows playlist structures with its included software. I wanted something to replace the old iPod I had years ago. I was sick of how iTunes worked and wanted a more flexible software.
Apple just has too many copyright restrictions as far as music goes. After purchasing the Zune, I was quite surprised at all of the features on it. Compared to a Zune, and iPod is relatively The display on the Zune is gorgeous, with customizable backgrounds and such.
Plus the screen is about twice the size of the iPod so you can actually see what you're watching. As far as the software goes, it takes a little while to get used to like all things from microsoft. One feature I especially liked was being able to just unplug it from the computer when you wanted to, instead of having to wait for the device to tell you it was ok to connect. I've had some problems with that from iTunes. I have owned a Zune for about 2 months.
The FM plug-in transmitter works okay in the car and look forward to getting a new car with an aux plug. I purchased a set of BOSE headphones and they help the music sound good. The Zune software works fine for me, and the Zune Online Marketplace offers many individual songs that can be automatically downloaded to my PC. But there are also many albums that cannot be accessed through the Zune marketplace for whatever reason. The feature for which I purchased the Zune was its video potentialthe screen is large, beautiful and crisp.
But finding a video to put on the Zune is not easy. Given the vast storehouse of music videos from the s, you would think Microsoft would help Zune owners to access them. I am willing to pay for the videos if I could find them. Skip to main content. About this product. Open box. Make an offer:. Auction: Pre-owned. Stock photo.

Sold by lukesten About this product Product Information Watch videos in rich color and a resolution of x pixels on the 3-inch LCD screen of the Microsoft Zune digital media player.
With a signal-to-noise ratio of 89 dB, this Microsoft digital media player delivers better sound by suppressing the background noise. They provided everything except the call I had to make. It was impressive. All in all, I am very happy with the unit and so are my kids. The screens are large and very clear. It does not have an extreme high volume, which is good. I have noticed with ear buds that acclamation to the volume occurs quickly and it is very easy to damage your hearing.
A work associate has one I can hear when I have my headphones on, set to low volume. Read full review. Microsoft's Zune is my first digital media player and I am glad to say that I am quite pleased with it's features. It was easy to setup and the Zune software is fairly easy to use.
The battery life is around a good hours if you're listening to MP3's, around hours if you're watching videos. The unit itself is fairly light, but the dimensions are kinda bulky if you want to exercise with it. It does a good job of sorting everything out automatically, but you can rearrange inside the Zune software.
My only gripes with the unit is when I used it the very first day, songs would cutout for a split second and resume playing at regular intervals. After I decharged the unit completely and recharged it however, the problem went away. Also, it can be kinda hard to find Podcasts and non-music related material if you have alot of music stored on the unit. All-in-all, I feel that the Zune can hold it's own against other top of the line players. If you're looking for a 30GB media player that has wireless capabilites, FM tuner, decent battery life, and an easy to use interface, then I would reccommend getting the Zune.
The zune is basically like the Ipod Video with a larger screen. So that's a plus. It has however, for it's first years always been crippled by shoddy software, however with the Zune music management not in it's 3rd version, things have finally improved to be about the same quality as itunes.
Also, this version of the zune doesn't have a click-wheel. The downside to this is you can't really control the speed you scroll at, so if you have a long list of artists it could take seconds instead of seconds Oh, another bright side: My ipod always seemed to break down every 4 months or so, my zune lasted nearly 2 years before needing a replacement. It's very durable! First off, I have an X-Box My Zune connects to it and allows me to play music off my Zune on my which is connected to my surround sound system.
It sounds beautiful. Browsing through the Zune library takes seconds, unlike when I connect my iPod on there, which takes a minute just to load the initial artists list, then half a minute to load in sub-categories.
This boasts the faster processor inside the Zune. Another example of Zune's processor is the very minor and quick loading pause when playing long videos. I have a couple of videos on there that are about an hour long, and it loaded faster on my Zune then it did on my PC! The video was also extremely clear and the sound through my headphones wa s great. Playing videos through my wasn't so great, it was extremely pixelated, but since I'll be rarely using that feature, that doesn't bother me much.
The menus on the Zune is actually better then expected. I was expecting Microsoft to Windowize it with icons and embed the face of Windows Media Player everywhere. However the menu is straight to the point, you got your music, pictures, video, radio, community for the wi-fi access and settings. If you geek out and let the Zune software download album art and such, it makes it look extremely nice when browsing the Album section under Artists, as each band will have a thumbnails of some album art near each album, it makes it quite pretty.
I can do without the gigantic letter that periodically appears to the right of the list when browsing through the Artists list, if anything it's more of a distraction, maybe in time they will get rid of that or have a setting for it, who knows. Pictures has the standard set up, where you browse through thumbnails and select what you want to full screen.
You can even set a picture to be your background, similar to an actual PC. My wife was happy when I used our wedding picture as my background. Videos have a similar listing, with a thumbnail, name and basic info for each video you have on there. Videos actually look great for the size of the screen, making it great for travel use. I watched a couple episodes of Robot Chicken on the train and it was just as great of an experience as watching it at home, just got a few crazy looks from people after laughing.
The sound is great, you can actually hear the differences between the equalization settings. I was a bit disappointed though that you can customize the equalizer, but maybe that will be in a later update. Battery life is quite nice too, I was using a Zune, showing it off to friends and family for almost 12 hours straight with no breaks and it went down to about half. For something that loads videos, music and connects to wi-fi? That's not bad at all. Now for the main reason why I gave this a 4 star rating instead of a 5, the software.
I've never been so aggravated in my life. First off, it read a lot of my MOV files as music, not Movies. MOV is a Quicktime video format. I don't understand how one file works in Media Player well, but not in Zune, which is basically the same program just made into an iTunes variant. There was a couple of miscalculation errors when syncing, syncing itself can be difficult at times and the program itself takes forever to load!
I hope they change it soon or some third-party support comes out soon. I do love my Zune though, just not the software. Reviews were very good, so figured I'd give it a shot. Very nice unit, very sturdily built. Software was a breeze to intall, simple to use. The only complaint I have is that if I have a bunch of misc music in a folder, i. Havent figured out how to get them all to show up in the same "album", even if I use " genre" while searching, it still shows each song as a separate album with one song in each album I guess I just need to make more playlists..
The sound is nothing remarkable, slightly less pronounced than the Zen, but still acceptable. Luckily, all of my music lacks the protection, or I would be less satisfied with the unit, as it does not allow protected music to be uploaded to the unit. The radio is a great addition, but does not pick up stations quite as good as the Zen did.
The video screen is quite a bit larger than both the Zen and IPOD video, but is just as crisp and clear. Who could go wrong with that?? Skip to main content.
