Zune
 

I want a good MP3 player for the truck and for at work. FM player with some extras. Looks like the Zune might be a good fit. Will it work with my existing music that I have ummm...bought off Limewire? I assume it's all good? What else do they do? I see there is a monthly subscription and assume that is optional? How much is it to purchase music? Are they easy to use....sync is easy to use???? Sell me on them if you love them.....Thank you for the help and suggestions. bt.

I've had a zune since woot.com first offered their refurbs. it'll work with your existing music. it works as a video player (if you want to watch off a small screen). I've never used their subscription service, so I can't attest to how good or bad it is (I've always just ripped tracks from my cd collection). sync CAN be a pain every great once in a while, and if you have a music collection of any size (over several thousand), it can take some time to load them up initially (but you'll have this issue with ANY new mp3 player).

suggestions: watch the web for specials. woot.com will offer them for cheap at least once a month or so... refurbs can be had for less than 100 every day of the week if you know where to look (and I've never had a single issue with the two refurbs I have, one is mine and one is my wife's... she's harder on hers than I am, and it's never had a single issue).

you can do everything with it--podcasts, music, video, and some of the newer ones can do HD and record radio. good times.

I bought a ZuneHd a few months ago it kicks ass much better than the Ipod and holds more music for the same price.

Thanks for the info. So are they easy to use? I basically want a fancy mp3 player that will fm transmit so I can take to work and play on a stereo....never owned an ipod but everyone says they are hard to use along with i tunes. Thanks for the info.

I love my ZuneHD. Much better PMP than my iPhone, and the software is a whole lot more user friendly.

I would be all over the ZuneHD if they would start getting some damn apps out there for it. Preferably the same stuff other app driven devices have. Oh, and charge a fair price for them. MS has a nasty habit of thinking their software is made of gold.

I still wish MS would eliminate that damned MS points crap too.

I use the Zune Pass, which is by far the best music subscription platform out there. $15/month for all you can download, including web streaming from any computer. You also get to keep 10 songs a month forever. So basically you're only paying $5/month to listen to all the music you could ever want on your Zune.

Yeah, if I ever do break down and get one I might just use that since my wife is always wanting new songs anwyay.

Someone said with the ZuneHD you can do a wirless sync. Still haevn't tried it yet though but thats pretty badass.

Indeed, and it is badass.

Howdo I do it? I'll give ya some casino cash.

Zune's are the shit. I've owned a first generation 30gb and now have a 2nd gen 120 gb and love it. My buddy has the ZuneHD 32gb with the subscription service and he loves it. I've never had any problem with either. Easy to add music and recognizes all your music.

I have a Zune30 but my Touch trumps it. Nothing wrong with it though.

Um, the huge difference in the price makes the Zune trump the touch. I don't need my mp3 player to play games, get on the net, etc. I carry a touch pro 2 for my phone and it covers all those bases. Hell if my phone had 50gb of memory I wouldn't even carry the zune (I really like having access to all of my music all the time).

It's ridiculously simple. Make sure the wireless on your Zune is on and connected to your wireless network (the same one your computer is on). Then just click on your Zune on the software and hit Sync.
