Has anyone tried it with the newer Zune HD (16 GB)? Any suggestions for a speaker system for Zune HD?

It works, there used to be a little plastic adapter that you could get from the manufacturer so it didn't wobble around but it works without that. I don't think it charges the Zune HD though.

Since most speaker systems have a 3.5mm in, you should be able to use almost any speakers that are even made for ipods. We used our zune with a bose sounddock for quite some time and it worked well. There are 3.5mm to bluetooth devices that would allow you to transmit to bluetooth speakers (seach for 3.5mm bluetooth transmitter on amazon). I don't know how well they work, but that would allow you use any of all the bluetooth speakers out there. I don't think you're going to find a good docking speakers made for the Zune. Good luck!

i installed it in a first gen, 30gb player and it worked like a charm. It is a little bit thicker than what should fit in the zune, so it will bulge a little bit. I cannot confirm or deny if it works with other generations of zune players.

I Believe, but don't "quote me", that I read that on a forum(presumably good information)that they ARE backward compatible, so that the new dock V2, should work on all forms of Zune Players up to 80gigs, and I believe that either this newer Dock, or the next generation possibly V3, not sure, will handle 720P res. Feel free to correct/verify this information.

Actually, in response to my other question, nevermind. I found through Yahoo! Answers the "secret" to making YouTube videos Zune compatible. I've followed it with zero problems, and now I've got some kickass music videos on my Zune. :)For anybody interested in the tutorial, you have to visit:http://www.zunescene.com/forums/index.php?topic=4946.0I swear, this is the absolute most helpful little thing I've found related to the Zune to date. :)

Hey - I too am in Birgitta's position, trying to decide whether I should stick with iPods or go over to Zune. I currently own a iPod Mini and did not like how the battery went bad and now can only be played once before the iPod says that the battery is low and goes out. I am trying to decide whether to get a 80G Zune or an 80G iPod classic. My main question is - being an iPod owner, I have put so much time into my iTunes organizing it, putting in cover art, etc.If I was to buy a Zune, can I get everything out of the iTunes, including cover art?thanks

I wish people would stop blaming Amazon. Amazon is no longer selling the device. Its a MARKETPLACE seller that is using AMAZON To sell the Zune & unfortunately they have hacked up the price since the 80GB models are being discontinued.Dont blame Amazon, its the seller.

There is no volume control on this speaker because it uses the volume from your mobile device to determine how loud the output is. Is the volume on your Zune too low?

I use an iPod Classic (older model 20gb) and it works fine. I do not have an iPhone but play my Zune through the aux input. I also have a Google phone (Nexus 5) and play it through the aux input with good fidelity. The sound is very good and I don't play my Bose 901's in the living room anymore because the dock is so convenient and so good. I like th price/value factor of the Altec Lansing docks. I still have my first one playing in the basement...Nice!

I just have a regular Zune 30gb, yours is an HD. But in the reviews several people said it works for the HD also. It comes with a bunch of adapter plates so I am sure it should work.

I actually purchased the Zune 120gb and tried to use this device that I had for my Zune 16gb and it does not work. It is not compatible with the newest version of the Zune 120gb, just check out the Zune website.

After cabling my A/V pack (with a Zune 120) to my audio system, I'm getting sound through only 1 speaker. I tried re-seating the red/white/yellow cable on the audio with the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks.

For the most part, it should. I have a 32 GB zune. I bought this dock expecting the remote to not work, but i only wanted it to charge anyway. There are several adapters for different sized zune. I was pleased that i wan able to connect to my home stereo, my TV and after a battery change in the remote, i can skip songs and have volume control. I cannot control anything else remotely, like navigate menus. Still have to do that hands on via my device, but its not a problem.

As long as it has the same connector as the regular zune, you should be fine. Id attach a photo of mine but I'm not sure how lol Sorry

There's actually a few cases out for the 80Gb. Check the offical Zune webpage at www.zune.net

I got a Zune for Christmas and have already sent it back. I loved the look, the feel, the bigger screen, and the radio. The only problem I found was the software and it lagged(like a PC). Until a new version of the Zune comes out I would go with something else.

I have to put the Zune HD live on the adapter as none of the docking inserts will work for the Zune HD, I have trouble sometimes with connection but it always comes through.
