Just thought I'd bring this up front for a shot at 1,000,000

I think part of the reason the MS makes you use the Zune software rather than drag and drop using Explorer is that it needs to convert some files such as videos. I know when I have been putting videos on my Zune lately, it always goes through a conversion process so that my Zune can play the videos. My wife's Zen player is the same way.

Every time I have tried to have Zune convert my videos it has done a crappy job. I always have to use a 3rd party software to do it with.

I had a terrible time trying to do that. I finally gave up on it last December after trying for several days. It would always APPEAR to work. The movie would show up on my Zune software normally. It would go through the conversion transfer process, but I never could get it to actually show up on my Zune.

BTW, I think the Zune 30GB doesn't seem to do videos properly. I'm sure you could download them from the Zune marketplace and they would work fine. I don't have that problem with my Zune 80GB that I just got a couple weeks ago.

Anyway, I finally figured out the best way to do it for me. Once I used DVD Shrink and DVD decrypter, I created a movie project in Nero and exported it as Nero AV (or something like that - it lists it as a file for portable devices like a PSP).

iTunes is tough to beat from a pure 'user-friendly' standpt. Now, there are better sampling apps, for sure. The iTunes store generally only plays 1minute sample of the track. www.beatport.com is amazing for sampling whole tracks, but it's limited to the electronica genre.

iTunes might be the simplest program to use this side of WordPad... I think you might be doing something wrong.

Mine still works great. And it was a lot cheaper than the iPod. Got a 30GB for $65.

Get an Apple product. Evidently, they'll cure the world's ails. :)

Only problems I have with itunes is that you have to manually add your music to it and the fact that it doesn't detect duplicates automatically.

Other than that, nothing really wrong with it. I wish I could use it to add music to android phones.

Personally I find the Zune software much more intuitive and more visually pleasing. Along with the subscription service, it really makes me hate being tethered to itunes because of my phone.

Supports MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, WAV and APE audio formats; AVI, WMV, and ASF video formats (DivX/Xvid/WMV codecs); JPEG image format; TXT text files.

It's like having a VLC and Foobar players in one and it fits in your pocket.
