Answer
Dont listen to Quik Boy, he has no idea what hes talking about. He just attempting to defend his purchase of a Zune. Ive asked him several times to refute anything in my post here...and he hasnt. Here are the facts about the ZunebrbrThe Zune is a joke, stay away from it.brbrIts WiFi transfer quotfeaturequot is limited to plays or days, whichever comes first and its DRM violates the Creative Commons license. The WiFi quotfeaturequot cant be used for anything else, such as wireless syncing. brbrIt cant be used as a hard drive mass storage device, as can be done with every other player out there.brbrIt has a bigger screen than does an iPod, however, it has the same resolution, making it look worse.brbrYou have to buy prepaid quotpointsquot in order to buy songs from the Zune store. The Zune store does not yet have video.brbrIt doesnt play Microsofts own PlaysForSure files, so music purchased from Yahoo Music or any other music store wont work. The Zune Player which you must use only plays its own proprietary format and mps. Microsoft is using misleading advertising regarding iTunes conversion. They make it sound like the Zune Player will convert existing iTunes to its own format automatically...it wont. You have to burn your iTunes music to a CD, then rip that music back to your hard drive again in either Zunes format, WMA format or in the mp format. If you do that, however, the sound quality of your music will degrade because both Zunes format, WMA and mps are whats called lossy compression. In this case you have an already compressed file being compressed again, resulting in terrible sound quality.brbrThe Zune is really just a Toshiba Gigabeat Toshiba makes it for Microsoft with WiFi, but it costs more than a Gigabeat and has limitations that the Gigabeat doesnt have.brbrIts extremely buggy and people have had nothing but problems installing its software.brbrIt doesnt work with Firefox or Windows Media Player. You must use the much inferior Zune Player.brbrIt only comes in three colors White, Black and ummmm....errr.....Brown?brbrLastly, Microsoft caved in to the music industry demands for a piece of every Zune sold because the music industry views mp players as theft devices, thus empowering the RIAA. Recording Industry Artists AssociationbrbrBut hey, dont take my word for it...see belowbrbrbrFrom the Chicago SunTimesbrAvoid the Loony Zunebrhttpwww.suntimes.comtechnologyihnatabrbrFrom ITWirebrWhy Consumers are Angry with Microsoft over Zunebrhttpwww.itwire.com.aucontentviewabrFrom PlaylistbrBidding a notsofond farewell to the Zunebrhttpplaylistmag.comfeaturesabrbrbrFrom CNNbrCNN Ridicules Zunebrhttpwww.youtube.comwatch?vbuKaqRGSabrbrbrbrbrbrJust say no to the Zune, either wait for Apple to update the video iPod or take a look at the Archos or Creatives Zen Vision either M or W line instead.brbrArchosbrhttpwww.archos.comabrbrCreative Zen Visionbrhttpus.creative.comlocalpromofina
