In my opinion the best thing about the Zune is the marketplace. You can subscribe and download a bunch of music for just the flat rate. Other than that they are pretty much the same. You can download stuff from limewire and add it to the Zune no problem just by linking where that program saves the files. The other problem with the zune is there are not alot of accessories for the product. That might change but if you go to the store the amount of products for Ipods especially if you want a radio that will be instantly compatible you have to go Ipod. I hate saying it because I'm now Zune all the way, I've even converted my wife to zune, but damn, every time I walk into the store I wish mine would be compatible with some of the boom boxes that are sold there. If you need any other info just let me know, I own a 80g Zune, an 8g and an old 30g. I know zunes.

The Zune has a 60mb version, I saw it at Walmart, I don't know if it's 60mb exactly but it's a small portable Zune. Besides the Zune has just came out, you can't expect it to have all the models that the Ipod already has.

I have a Sansa that has no trouble with vista using the windows meida player. I love it I was thinking about the zune but from these post maybe not I should just stick with the sansa since it also has the sd slot for expansion.

Eric - check the Reviews. One other buyer has evaluated the item on a Zune 120GB.

iPod Touch 8GB 4th Generation is my favorite. But since you had a nano, maybe you might not like it since it has a touch screen,etc. I like it because watching videos on the retina display is AWESOME!!!!!! Plus music too. I don't really use it for much else besides Playing Music/Watching Videos/Pandora. I don't use apps, use the internet sparingly, etc. You should probably wait until September because a new nano will be coming out then.

I have owned Zune 80 GB for the past 3 years. It worked fine initially. It stayed unused for the, past year or more. Now that I want to use again, it is giving me a lot of problems. It took hours for the screen to even light up when I started to charge.The battery is draining dead after being fully charged in hold or off position.It is abruptly shutting off while playing music, if I touch any button for >>, << or pause.I cannot turn it on unless I connect it to the computer.Does anybody know what is going on? .........Ms. Espee.

Hello i recently purchased a Zune home A/V, However i found that the dock plate is not compatible with my Zune, which is a 16 GB. Can someone please advise me where i can purchase a 16 GB dock plate? Thanks in advance.

Because you are using it for movies, you must get the 8gb model, the 4gb will fill up too fast. The 4 gb model is ok for a moderate sized music collection, most of those 30 or more gb players are usually mostly empty for most people, but not for movies. Since a 3g shuffle was just introduced, I would strongly recommend waiting for an update for the nano, im betting a 16 gb model is coming, frankly I'm surprised the current nanos don't come in a 16gb model, I think they are just trying to sell more ipod touches, which i cannot recommend unless you have a huge pile of cash to get rid of.

I am very happy with my 2GB Sansa. Just updated the firmware (very smooth application downloaded from Sandisk site).Sleek design, not as cool as Nano, but very close. Ubercool video which Nano doesn't have, which works surprisingly well.Bigger screen than Nano too. Micro SD slot a great plus. And it also works like a storage device, so you can take files with it, something Nano doesn't do.Go for the $129 (at time of writing) 4GB model.

I'm a bit surprised by my Zune. I'll leave it in untouched, unused, and within 4 days the battery is dead. What a pain! A big disappointment. I mean heck, my cell phone lasts a lot longer than that. Is this normaL? I can see the battery dying if I was using it, but it's just sitting there!!!

I like WMP 11. The Zune software is basically the same, but with Zune Marketplace integrated. Nevertheless, I agree, the Microsoft Points system is quite silly. I mean, I know they have their reasons, but I think it would be easier for the average user to use plain dollars. I went ahead and subscribed to the Zune Pass option ($14.99 plus taxes I think) which lets you download all you want and synchronize to up to two Zune's. I've been downloading like crazy for the last two days and loving it!

I disagree about Creative Labs being "excellent player". I have had a CL Zen for a year now and I'm ready to replace it. The Zen locks up once a week. The controls seem to respond randomly when you press the main function key. I had a great offer for a Zune, but after reading all this crap (pro and con) I have decided to live with the Zen for another 6 months ...

it does not matter whre you order it from. everywhere is sold out of the zunes. I spoke with amazon twice today and they said that they ran out and will not get anymore in stock until December.

Ok great thanks for your comments; was getting scared, thought that this version was coming out with problems. BTW, what do you think about the Zune or the Creative Zen? do they match with iPod?Thanks once again
