Zoom for the Zune!.......2007-12-26
I received the 80gb Zune for Christmas and love it! I have been doing all the necessary downloads so I can begin transferring music. After reading some reviews, I don't know what the big deal is about downloading the Zune software. Laziness or lack of research on the product may be the answer. I have read both booklets that come with the product and followed everything to a "t"....and guess what!?! Everything seems fine if you follow directions.
It's sleek new look makes it very attractive, the glass screen is also nice (i'm gonna buy a plastic cover though). It's easy to use and I love the large screen. It's still new to me, so I'm learning a lot about the Zune, but so far, I can't put it down!
What I expect.......2007-12-26
If you are looking for a digital media device that functions like it should then this is the one.
The Zune was easy to set up and the function has met or exceeded my expectations. I bought 3 IPOD nanos for my kids last year and found the design to be less than satisfactory. I decided to try the new 80 gig Zune this year. I bought 2 and I must say the Zune is ten times better than the IPODS. The software works like it should. The Zune navigation works like it should, I hated the Ipod wheel this is twice as easy. The graphics and the 3 inch screen are great. The kids love the radio function. Now Zune just needs to get manufactures to make more accessories for it.
The only thing that stumped me for just a couple seconds was changing the settings to find my sons music folder but that was solved with the help feature.
Can't stop playing with it!.......2007-12-26
I have scoured the reviews on Amazon for months trying to decide between an iPod and a Zune. The closest I've come to an mp3 player was a WALKMAN cell phone...so this was a big deal for me.
After spending the last few weeks trying to load my cd collection into my computer....today was the day!
I can honestly say, I have not stopped playing with my Zune all day (and I'm 44!). It's one of those things that you don't know how you lived without it once you get it in your hands. I work in a job where I wear headphones all day, so this is wonderful. I can listen to years of music I've collected and forgotten about.
The main reason I chose the Zune is for the radio and the screen size. Remember the days when you took pictures and actually had photos to share (I put everything on the computer and burn to cd to watch on the dvd player)? I can now share my photos with others on a screen large enough to see.
As far as the sound quality, I haven't much to compare it with but feel it sounds just fine.
For anyone who is still undecided, take the time to read the reviews on Amazon. I do it for any major purchase I make now.
Do not buy.......2007-12-26
Other reviewers have thoroughly explained why this product is crap, so I won't get into it. All I'll say is I received this for Christmas and it is the most frustrating piece of technology I have dealt with. It's about to go through a window. Save yourself from wall punching anger and avoid this product even if you have to pay more for a superior product.
Didn't make it for Christmas!!.......2007-12-25
I ordered the Zune 80GB for my son on 12-17-07, paid extra to get it in 3-5 days, and here it is Christmas afternoon with NO Zune. Thank goodness my son is old enough to understand poor shipping promises. Hopefully the Zune will be worth the wait!!

Amazing Device.......2007-12-26
I recieved this device as a christmas present and have already fallen in love with its intuitive interface, simplistic design, and broad range of capabilities. It's nice to be able to wirelessly sync the device to my computer through my home wireless network. I highly reccommend this device.
Not all files play.......2007-12-25
I bought this for audiobooks that we download from our local libray. They are WMA format, and the Zune says that it plays WMA files, but when I tried to transfer it wouldn't work. After deeper reasearch I discovered that it will indeed play WMA files, but only if you buy them from the Zune store. It seemed like a good player but I returned it right away, so I didn't get a chance to explore it. I bought a Creative Zen and it is sweet and played all my files perfectly, including the audiobooks.
Great MP3 Player.......2007-12-25
This is my third MP3 player after a first generation ipod mini (which I subsequently sold) and a creative zen micro photo (which recently died after 2 years of impeccable service). I liked the Zen, but wanted something a bit more sleek, so after reading some good reviews of the Zune, I bought it. I was not disappointed.
All of its controls are pretty intuitive. I think the control pad works as well as the wheel on the ipod mini I had, if not better. The zune software, while not my first choice for music management, works well for its purpose. I definitely prefer it to iTunes. The screen is bright and the wireless sync worked flawlessly. I don't really have a bad thing to say about this player. Others have complained about the lack of an equalizer. I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile and I think the sound is just fine, even through the included headphones. This may not be the case for those with more discerning ears, but I think it's just fine.
Terrible user experience .......2007-12-22
I received my Zune Thursday and affter a day and a half of trying it to work with my new HP laptop I've given up and will be sending it back to Amazon for a refund. Conversely, went down to Best Buy purchase a iPod nano and was down loading songs from iTunes in under 2 minutes.
Microsoft's Zune, a failure so great Microsoft is still struggling to sell models from last year at fire sale prices.
(BUY AN IPOD OR SANDISK MP3 PLAYER)
ok player, nothing spectacular.......2007-12-22
I just got this player today. Previously I owned a 2nd generation ipod classic. Zune looks pretty nice though I wish the screen was a little bigger. It takes time to get used to the Zune software and player controls because they are quite different than Itunes and ipod. Unlike the last reviewer, I found it extremely easy to install the softwares and set up the player. Overall I am satisfied. However, I have found the following negatives:
1. No equalizer, as many mentioned before
2. Can't find how to play the file at any time I want. It may not be a problem for songs. But for some podcasts, I want to fast forward or get back to an earlier segment.
3. Can't preset the radio frequences.
4. Doesn't display song names in chinese (it is just my problem)
