Hi there,i'd like to buy a new 8GB mp3, but, i'm confused between the new ipod nano and zune. people say that the 3rd gen nano has a great battery life now, but, i'm discouraged from transferring my music files to itunes and changing the format (i've been using windows media. so, they're mostly in .wma)Is it true that Zune's software is crippled?being an experienced useer, would you recommend zune or nano? =)thanks a bunch!!

The 3rd generation iPod Nano has 24 hours battery life for Music, and 5 hours for Video.WMA is a proprietary audio format created by Microsoft. AAC (what the iTunes Store uses) is not proprietary and was designed as the successor to MP3. AAC is used by the Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii and Nokia Nseries phones.iTunes for Windows allows you to automatically convert any WMA files you have into either MP3 or AAC files.

I'm also trying to find out how to update my MS Windows XP Media Center 2004 to XP Media Center 2005. Dell refuses to offer the upgrade cd. Hp offers it for $5 if you bought an HP. Microsoft says you must get the upgrade cd from the manufacturer of your pc. They will not sell it directly.

I think you should get the bigger one if you want lotsa movies. I recently put on about 50 songs and it took up .1 GB, but movies take up lots. I have the 8GB also cuz I love the green!! But you are better off getting more GB and paying a little extra than having to buy a new one because of no space left.

Heads up for you Faerie :)Zune's software runs better than the iTunes inmho..and its easy to use..Just once click, and you can sync it..be it on USB or wireless..I was using nano before and it took me long time to get used to the iTunes software..Get the Zune and love your player! :)

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

Yeah, personally I can't imagine trying to use a shuffle for books or podcasts even. I also had a second gen shuffle die on my in only a few weeks. IMO you really want at least a nano.

Define average??!! If you have tons of music, create or use acres of documents or books - maybe not. I did buy a 16 gig microsd card for mine, just in case. 16 gigabytes is a LOT of space - but more is better, right?

Thank you for the information. Since the 32 gb is only $50 more, it would make more sense to me to go with that one and then I can add whatever music I want, whenever I want and whatever genres I want and have an incredible personal jukebox. But I'll keep in mind what you said and I can always change my mind and drop down to the 16 gb. And no, I don't care about the video. If the 16 gb does not have the video function, that might be the way I would go then. Why don't these places just make music players at a less expensive price for those customers who don't want every electronic function that is available at the higher prices?

I had the older version a 64gb? zune and it worked just fine, I would check/clean the IR portion on the remote and speaker could just be dirty and interfering with the signal. Hope that helps you.

Have you been able to find any more suggestions on a frozen zune? I have tried your ideas, but it's still frozen. I would appreciate any more info you might have to offer.Thanks!

I can't believe the Zune would do that! Its beyond logic!! What they want you to do is have a portable device for your music but also have a non-portable copy?? The Sony syncs perfectly and the function is only 'addition'. If you want to delete, you have to delete from the player(but it has to be connected to your PC, you cannot delete from the player on its own). It also does not overwrite if you are trying to add a file that is already there. Once the player is connected to the PC and Windows Media Player is opened, there is a separate area where you drag the files that you want synced. I guess that is what prevents it from functioning like the Zune.

Amazon's MP3 Downloads will play on any audio player. Zune offers music through its software (in a manner similar to Apple) which is in a mix of MP3 file types that will play on any player, and music formatted to play only on the Zune. This is, again, identical to how Apple operates iTunes - the difference is in what formats each company sells its specially formatted music. For what it's worth, I find the Zune plays music with a richer and fuller sound than iPod. You should also know that both the Zune and the iPod require that you use their software to sync music from your hard drive to the player. I hope this is helpful (and I hope you choose/chose the Zune)!

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

I agree with what you say. The zune does seem to have been hurried to the market. It's difficult to take the zune as a competitor at the moment, but microsoft has already announced its plans for a "family of devices". So i'd wager that the scene will be very different once the newer zunes start arriving. Hopefully they'll release a larger capacity version as well; that's the only thing holding me from buying the device.

I totally agree with you on this, and if Microsoft ever wants to compete with the iPod they are going to have to do better than this. Don't get me wrong because I hate Apple, but this thing isn't gonna come close to an iPod. The least they could've done was match the storage capacity (60 GB, although now it's 80 GB). I don't expect this thing to do nearly as well as what Microsoft expects.

On my computer Zune automatically found all af my WMP and Itunes files and organized them.I have to say that after owning many MP-3 players, including I-Pods, that Zune is definately a good choice.
