Just one GRIPE... Doesn't support DivX/XviD playback!.......2007-12-27
Everything about this thing is GREAT! But it really lags behind in MEDIA SUPPORT!
I mean COME ON! It can play almost every video format, including iPod MP4's, MPEG-4's and M4A's... BUT NOT DivX/XviD?! CREATIVE's ZEN's play DivX/XviD videos! But other than that, this think is PERFECT! I got it for Christmas, so that was awesome... DIDN'T have to pay for it. But yeah!
Besides the fact that is not the way of the future because of the lack of DivX/XviD playback, it will still continue to thrive in the social era!
So, about a 3.5 out of 5 for me... Yes, because of the lack of DivX/XviD playback... YES! That is the reason... Otherwise it'd be a full 5 Stars!
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.
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!!

Customer Reviews:
If I can help just one person it will be worth it. .......2007-12-26
After owing the Zune for over a month and dealing with its user UN-friendly music and video formats, I've come to realize that Microsoft's reason for such limited formats may be an attempt to force change upon the music and movie industry to create yet another monopoly.
This is the only reason that one can find when looking at the limitation of the Zune and realizing that Microsoft is a software company. They are not a start up company with limited resources but are on a course for market domination.
Buy the Zune if you want, but realize you are financing intellectual and progress limitations.
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.

The Zune Community and Marketplace
We're all exhausted by the cables and wires that tangle up our lives. Luckily, the Zune is one device that doesn't require another cord. You can easily connect to your home wireless network and sync your Zune with your PC collection of digital goodies. You can also sync using the dock, AC adapter, or speaker dock accessory (not included). This attractive, powerful device does much more than connect you to just your collection. The Zune is all about sharing and community. At the Zune Online Community you'll discover, share, and leave your musical mark. Create a Zune card and Zune profile page to reflect your musical identity. From the Zune Online Community you can invite friends, share song recommendations, post comments, and browse member pages to unearth new tunes and connect to others who share your musical tastes.
When you're ready to purchase music and load your device with new tunes, turn to the Zune Marketplace. With over three million songs, DRM-free MP3s, music vidoes, audio/video podcasts, and more content added every day, you'll certainly get your fill. The store is always open and just a mouse click away. You can also choose between the download or subscription packages--buy individual songs and albums, or snag a Zune Pass subscription with all you can eat access to discover and explore the nooks and cranies of artists and genres.
Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Once your Zune is loaded with good stuff, you'll be ready to embrace wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing. Share full-length tracks of your favorite songs, albums, playlists, pictures, and even audio podcasts. You can listen to the full track of any song you receive up to three times. And you can even pass along songs that are shared with you to other friends. If you find a song you really love, you can easily add it to your wishlist and buy it later when you sync to your PC. When it comes to syncing and importing your music, the Zune makes it easy. Zune software can automatically import your existing music, pictures and videos from iTunes and Windows Media Player in a variety of formats, including your existing playlists and song ratings.
FM Radio, TV Shows, and More
The Zune will also automatically import TV shows or movies recorded using a PC running Windows Media Center in Windows Vista. Record all your favorites, sync to your Zune, and hit the road with your favorite TV shows right in your pocket. The Zune also features a built-in FM radio tuner so you can listen to local FM stations or tune in programming while you're at the gym. Advanced tuning capabilities allow you to see the name of the song currently playing on select frequencies. Another awesome feature is the Zune's compatibility with the Xbox 360. Plug your Zune into your Xbox 360 to customize the soundtrack in supported games. You can also stream music, pictures and vidoes from the Zune software on your PC to your Xbox 360 console using a wireless connection. Whether you're staying in or going out, travelling or working, the Zune can be right there with you, providing loads of entertainment direct from your pocket.

perfect!!!!!!!!.......2007-12-27
1st I must say the red is awesome looking. I own the 30gb, 8gb and the 80gb
and this is my favorite out of all of them, and this is why, the screen is very sharp and the sound quality is amazing, I dont go anywere with out this thing, it's much cooler then the nano I really don't like ipods.... at all
With ipods you can impress a few kids at school, but that's about it. With this and all Zunes you can customize the background, makeing it your own style. The red looks nothing like the red on the box, it has a much more glossy color. The interface is outstanding and the zune marketplace is very simple and actully has a subscription to it's music which ipod does not. You will want to buy a new pair of earphones because the pair it comes with suck, I suggest you go to your local fye and pick up a ten buck pair of skullcandy earphones. Oh yeah, the screen does not scratch easily because it's made of glass.The 30 gb Zune's screen was made of plastic and it scratched super easily. thanks for reading :)
Zune 8 gb.......2007-12-26
Actual size was not what I expected. Could not view in store prior to Amazon purchase. Amazon shopping was not exactly clear that the Zune 8 gb was 1/2 the screen size as the 80 gb version. Cost me shipping on returning it to Amazon.
totaly amazing.......2007-12-25
My mom got me this zune for christmas, I had been anticipating the mp3 player for like 4 months. I had my mom install it on the computer because when i tryed it was to annoying and i was in a rush to play guitar hero 3. It took my mom about 3 hours to install it because we had to upgrade programs and they weren't working but after a bit i came over and just went by the directions and bam! it worked. I have about 200 songs and 2 shows on it, its awsome. The image quality is mind blowing and trust me on this buy zunes over ipods. Ipods SUCK! they snap, crack, break, all the time buy a zune they never break.
No Zune for Christmas here!.......2007-12-24
I wish I had a Zune to review! I ordered this well over a week ago with Amazon's *guarantee* to be delivered in time for Christmas! Well guess what ... it is now Christmas Eve and there is no Zune under my tree for my son. That is very poor service, Amazon!
Great little MP3 player.......2007-12-24
My only regret is that I did not buy the 30 or 80 GB Zune. This device is easy to use, compact, and the software is even easier. The picture quality is amazing for videos.
The only slight negative is the finger pad. It can be a little touchy as your finger needs to be right in the middle in order to make a selection.
Product Description
The Zune Car Pack gives you everything you need to be your own DJ, listening to your tunes through your car stereo while keeping your Zune charged.
Amazon.com Product Description
If you're taking a road trip, the Zune Car Pack gives you everything you need to be your own DJ, listening to your music through your car stereo while keeping your Zune charged. This device transmits music from your Zune into an FM frequency that can be picked up by your radio tuner. You can automatically select an optimal station for broadcast using the auto-tuning Zune FM Transmitter. It often takes more than one station to stay tuned in if you drive between different regions with different stations, that's why the Zune FM Transmitter has two presets so you can easily swap back and forth between your most commonly used broadcast stations. To keep up with a long road trip, you can charge your Zune while listening to music in the car. The magnetic storage clip allows you to keep wires out of your way, and the dashboard grip pad provides a great place to rest your device in the car. It is compatible with the Zune 4 GB, Zune 8 GB, Zune 30 GB, and Zune 80 GB.
What's in the Box:
FM transmitter/charger, dashboard grip pad, product quick start guide, product manual.

piece of junk.......2007-12-22
I recently purchased the car pack for my new Zune. However, there was way too much static to even enjoy it. After a while, I couldn't even get any audio from the Zune just from the radio station. I was only able to hear the device depending on my location. If you do buy it keep your receipt. Mine is going right back to the store. Terrible!
Far different experience...I have one & my experience is superb.......2007-12-21
TAKE NOTE: Don't turn your radio on UNTIL you have found a clear FM station with the Zune Car Pack 2. Turning your radio on FIRST seems to prevent the device from finding any clear FM station.
None of the harsh negative reviews are accurate IMHO and with respect to these people. It really makes me wonder of their validity in every single claim. The reviews greatly differ from the excellent and flawless product I just received and used. It could be that these well meaning people simply missing something on how to use this very simple and EXTREMELY effective device. My experience was a 100% POSITIVE with ZERO trouble! The Zune Car Pack 2 actually shocked the hell out of me because of the negative above reviews (I was already prepared to send it back). Like most everyone I read the user comments before I buy anything. I called Amazon to verify I could send this product back before I bought because of the horrid reviews above. Sometimes I will gamble anyway with a product purchase like this and this time and it paid off BIG. I got exactly what was advertised and what I wanted in my car.
1) I live in a VERY URBAN area. Nearly every single radio frequency is occupied. I plugged in the adapter hooked up the Zune used the auto-tune to find a clear station. Turned on the radio, tuned it to match the clear frequency and the sound was flawless. I honestly could not tell any significant difference from direct input. No kidding it works that well and that easy. There are also online resources that can locate some good clear FM frequencies by zip code if you should need extra help.
2) No static at all! Believe me I tried to get it. I shook my Zune like a nut, I shook the transmitter like an ape, I even placed metal objects on the cord and put the transmitter in every weird place I could think of. Perfect no static. I could not make static no matter how I tried (Man, I forgot to wrap everything in aluminum foil...now that may have a chance)! I tried my hardest to make this accessory sound bad and hear the static claims in the previous posted reviews. But the Zune Car Park v2 remained superb.
3) The Zune pad the is designed to hold the Zune on the dash or somewhere flat. Now I had my doubts about this set-up because I drive rather aggressively. I dusted off my dash and place the Zune on the pad. The thing is rock solid and I would trust it in almost all driving circumstances with confidence except for a hard hitting accident. A fender bender won't move that Zune a bit.
Try it out for yourself. You can always send it back to Amazon if you do not like the way it functions.
Plug in the adapter in the cigarette lighter, plug in the Zune, use auto-tune to find a clear station, turn on the radio, tune it to match the clear fequency and WOW!
The Zune Car Pack 2 is easy, static free, and movement DOES NOT effect the sound at all. As I said before I TRIED my hardest to get static but could not (with the exception of wrapping everything in aluminum foil).
The Zune Car Pack 2 is an excellent product in every respect.
That is what my real-world URBAN experience PROVED to me. I also learned you cannot always trust the reviews you read. Though I would not like to shop without them.
Give it a try as there is really nothing to loose----
I think that the problem is the device is so simple that people are not following the correct process for the device work properly (and the instructions could be better).
Remember to get the clear station tuned with the Zune Car Pack 1st and then turn on your radio and tune to the clear frequency.
Put your $80 towards a new car stereo w/ AUX input.......2007-12-15
I have a brand new Zune 80 which I love, but I have an older car with a stereo deck that does not include an AUX input. I heard mixed reviews (mostly negative), but decided to give it a go.
I purchased this pack at a local store, took it out to the car to try it and was utterly disappointed. I found a single station that barely came in. I moved the Zune all around the car, nothing. I moved the Tuner portion of the car pack around, nothing. I walked back into the store with it and returned it. Save your $$$ and buy a car stereo w/ AUX input. Amazon doesn't allow 0 stars...
Zune Car Pack.......2007-12-07
Works great out in the country away from a lot of radio stations. But in town (where I use mine the most) there is WAY to much static and can't get it to work very good. Would not recommend.
Very Suprised.......2007-11-23
At first I was suprised that it didnt get much low channels and so I gave up (at first) but because I put the metal part on the power chord part it was staticy but If you situation is like mine if you plug the pack in regularly and put the tuner part on the passenger side dashboard where their air bag is then alot of channels are very clear and I put the zune on the pad on the dashbaord ( it do get staticy if you move the zune around some) but over all it works fine

ok.......2007-12-27
Took a few days to arrive; came with different headphones and no box or instructions. Said like new and 1 week old. It didn't seem like one week old to me. Daughter is happy to finally get an ipod and seems to be working well so far.
Excellent music player.......2007-12-22
I purchased two of these last Christmas for my teenage daughers. We have had zero problems and the battery life is excellent!
Just in case ..........2007-12-18
the two gig was too small, I returned the 2 gig. The 4 gig works great.
Save your money and buy another MP3.......2007-12-17
Worked ok for the first couple months now it won't turn off. Use a cover but didn't save this piece of junk. got a san disk for a fraction of the cost and it works much better and more memory can be added with the san disk. Get the san disk and avoid this cruddy fad piece of trash.
First MP3 player, wow!!!!!.......2007-11-22
A couple months ago I bought a black 2 gig ipod nano, for just $50. Why??? I simply didn't want to spend a couple hundred $ for an MP3 player. Yes it was partly used, but the person selling it bought it for his wife and she never used it(I bought the ipod off of Craigslist) so I got it. It was missing the USB cable and docking thing, so I bought the cord off Ebay for a couple bucks. I didn't see any reason to buy the docking port, and so I just stuck with the USB cable. Instead of downloading music off the internet, I just took songs off of Cds I had. And wow, does 2 gig hold quite a bit! The nano works great except for one thing, the battery. My battery work for about 6 hours, more or less.
I am not sure if that is the average battery time for a second generation Ipod nano, but it does seem kind of short.
Some of the features I liked about the ipod was the fact it kept world time, and has a pretty detailed calendar in which you can mark days.
Right now my nano has a couple thousand pictures on it, once I put into it over 10,000 photos, and it took over an hour to get all of them downloaded! No surprise, it took a huge chunk of memory, so I erased most of them. To keep you entertained, there a four games:music quiz, parachute, solitare, and brick.
One other feature I'd like to point out is the hold switch on top. It's very useful if you are the kind of person who carries their player everywhere. Once the switch is on, nothing you press will turn it on.
I recommend the ipod nano to all music lovers!!!
