  • iPod Classic is just better... it just is.

    

  • @osamaFXX Well, I actually like this one more than the Classic. I have a friend who has this and another with the Classic. The touch pad can do more, it looks MUCH nicer (in my opinion), I believe it has a better radio, better headphones, bigger screen, etc... But iPod's dominate every other Zune. My bro has a Zune 3G 8GB and my Nano 4G 8GB is MUCH Better. My iPod Touch 4G is epic. :D

  • I was wondering if the old 1st gen 30g models can support the firmware updates?

  • yes, i have a 30 gb zune and they can be updated to the same firmware (3.1) as the new ones

  • yes

  • it doesn't come with a charger?

  • Yes, it comes with a USB sync cable, which charges your Zune when you connect it to a PC.

    There is an AC charger that is available separately.

  • Which is better 4gb 8gb 80gb or 120gb because i wanna get one and I NEED SOMEONES OPINION

  • If you need a small player and don't need to load a ton of content (e.g. videos) on it, go with an 8gb or 16gb. (The 4gbs are older models and harder to find.)

    If you want a higher-capacity player, and want the larger screen, go with an 80gb, or an 120gb if you can afford it.

  • how much is a zune 80?

  • zune 80 trust me u won''t regret, it has enough memory for anything u have and has a great screen and design and its pretty affordable

  • i love the music. i just bought an 80gb for $70 but found out the ipod charger doesnt work with it. hmm...someone online said it will. zune accessories are very limited. i've hit walmart, the source, futureshop and have decided the internet is the best place to go :)

  • nice unboxing. got straight to the point without the normal people just loudly breathing and that's all you hear. instead you get a heart song that's up-beat : ) hehe. tyvm for the unboxing!

  • Thanks for that comment! I have to agree, I hate to sit through looooong unboxing videos! :)

  • do these play vidoes?

  • Yes, they play videos, show pictures, and play music.

  • CHRISTMAS IS WHEN I GET MYNE YAY!

  • subscribed by the way!

  • this is a really good unboxing, i looked up "zune unboxing" and clicked "highest rated" and found this. i'm so sick of shitty ones where there's just the sound of some dude breathing loud and stumbling over his words as he fiddles around with an ipod. good job.

  • Thank you so much!

  • that was awesome. i gave it an awesome! lol

  • I wonder if you guys buy a huge gb. I wonder what would you store in? Cause if all music its quite strange as u will not hear it all. If games . well i gotta say its agood deal.

  • I think the zune has great styling, I would rather buy a zune than a iPod, with an iPod you would jus feel the same as everyone else.

    Nice video probably best unboxing video ive seen, I didnt get bored lol.

  • Thanks for that feedback! It's hard to keep an unboxing video interesting, so I tried to set a fast pace for it. :)

  • Ha. It's actually a lazy Susan. I'm a low-budget operation. :)

  • nice touch with the rotatin stool lol

  • anybody know the name of that song?

    please!! i need that!

  • It's the Rolling Stones, "Hang Fire", from their Tattoo You album.

  • ipod classic is much better than zune because ipods have a lot of generations.

    zune sucks

  • i agree

  • all the generations? that means it sucked and tried to make it better but it still sucked. and give MORE reasons ipod better than zune

  • yea tell that to my ipod video that broke for no stupid reason=)

  • Ipods break like a bitch, I had to buy 2 new one's in the past year. 3rd gen classic, and 1st gen nanos were less breakable with syncing. . which the cable syncing for me become the issue EVERy 6 MONTHS.

  • lol that spinning wheel thing is kinda gay lol... not motorized

  • haha u can totally see his hand spinning it lol dumb

  • we really want to see it here in Greece.....i know tons of people who will buy it if it comes here!!!!!!!

  • i found a converter online that unprotects the itunes music so i can put it in my zune marketplace very usefull tool and i can put my subscription zune music in itunes!

  • microsoft, please bring the zune to germany :)

  • Got the Zune 80 recently and its great. Love that it plays WMA Pro files, since AAC doesn't work that great with Windows Media Player. Using Magic DVD Ripper (available on the net, converts to Zune friendly MP4) to stick my DVDs on it.

  • I fell bad for the people who bought this, only to realize they can't use any music they purchased on iTunes.

  • Actually, that is rarely heard as a complaint. Most people who do a little basic research will be aware of iTunes' restrictions.

  • There's programs what can do magic to iTunes music :) (Then you can put them to any player ;) )

  • Yea, I feel bad for the people who unaware of the widely known fact that music from itunes is encrypted and that there are several easy ways around it.

  • lol at hand-powered turn table

  • yeah, we're a low-budget operation. :)

  • nice earphones

  • the head phones look nice but the

    software = fail

    itunes = win

  • Really? Most people are giving the software (at least the latest 2.5 software) high marks compared to iTunes.

    iTunes store is still better stocked, but Zune software is a treat to use compared to iTunes.

    Check it out again if you haven't lately.

  • well i have never used the sofware but from peers who have said it was more of a pain in the a** compared to itunes i have seen the software and i havent felt comfortable with it like itunes and itunes is very easy to use

    zune 80 or ipod touch 8gb ?

  • The 2.1 software had some metatag issues but those have been resolved. It really is pretty cool to use now with 2.5.

    Zune 80 or iPod Touch? Hmm both very nice players but very different. Go with Zune 80 if you want to watch videos - it'll hold a lot more and the screen is almost as big as the Touch. Go with iPod Touch if you want the browser though.

  • itunes is the worst. what can you do with an itunes video? play it on an ipod. anything else? nope. biggest rip off.

  • Play it on your televsion through Apple TV and play it on your computer through itunes.

  • my point being that you cant do anything with an itunes video besides what apple allows.

  • If I do jogging with Zune 80gb, will it crush?

  • Have to be careful with any hard-drive based music player. There are jogging armbands for it (DLO, Speck, others), but you're better off running with a flash Zune 4 or 8GB.

  • thank you

  • soo, it could brake if it bounces??? (don't get mad at me, i love Zune)

  • Not sure what you mean...

  • Maybe he meant if you drop it.. :o

    Anything can break if you drop it :P

  • In an early comment you said if you jogged with it, it could brake or something because its hard-drive based

  • yea theres no difference with the newer generation and the older generation exept size and space

  • Size, space, touch pad, and screen size (the 80GB has a slightly bigger screen than the 30GB, at 3.2 inches vs 3 inches).

  • would u recommend buying this one if u bought the old zune?

  • Well, it's definitely improved from generation one... but if you're happy with the 30GB capacity of the old one, and can live without the touch pad, you can probably get by for a while with your old one. I upgraded right away, but I still occasionally use my old 30.

  • Our chihuahua chewed up my brother's premium earphones.

  • How do you get songs from iTunes onto the Zune?

  • Unprotected songs in your iTunes library will transfer automatically to Zune. Songs purchased from iTunes will not sync - except for iTunes Plus tracks, which are not protected.

    Anything you've ripped from CDs or that are not otherwise DRM-protected will sync to your Zune.

  • People commenting in this video are so nice! No fighting! (At least on the first 10 comments) Anyways, Congratulations! Its already 1 year old! right?

  • Actually just a little over 5 months old. 2nd Gen Zune got released in November 2007.

  • Oh, just that i saw it said 1 year ago but it was you who joined 1 year ago.

  • The Zune looks pretty cool I guess, but I'd just like to point out that any headphones that come with it aren't going to be "premium" by any stretch of the imagination.

  • They're not top-of-the-line, but they are a definite cut above the earphones that typically come with MP3 players.

  • -They are in Ear

    -Without the use of EQ, they have great bass and clear mids and treb.

    -I would compare them with my CX300

  • that was a very exciting and well planned unboxing

  • Thank you!

  • Woooow I am so getting this now. Well, I wanted it from the start, butthe screen is SO big and there's 80GBs!!! For about $250! It's GENIUS! GENIUS!

  • Zune is better you dumb ass ipods suck they easily scratch and they so boring to use!

  • Thank you for saying that! I liked the iPod at first, but the design was always the same.....that white circle thingy...it kind of got annoying, honestly.

  • ipod touch is first choice, then 80GB zune, then zune flash, then any other piece of shit ipod.

  • but ipod touch is way too expensive for like no gigs at all.zune has 80gb like ipod classic.

  • I just got my touch, its actually really cool. Yes the price is hefty and only for 16GB. I have less then 1000 songs and barely any pictures. The rest I use for videos and such. Plus I can just watch a lot of things off of youtube and other websites. The zune is also really good, its screen is really nice and handles well. I just prefer the ipod touch, but that's me.

  • haha

    only the naughty kids get zunes for christmas.

    iPod touch ftw :)

  • does anyone have the zune? i want to buy the 80GB zune but i have a few questions about it.

    does the zune get loud? i like my music loud.

    will i be able to put mp3's and WMV's from my computer onto the zune? or will i have to buy them from the marketplace? i like a lot of underground music that probably wouldn't be on some marketplace.

  • how much did it cost

  • $250 MSRP.

  • can i take back my old zune since i paid 250 for it back to target i got the three year warrnty?

  • Nice, I got A free Zune!

  • how?

  • I got it at ZuneMAX (dot) com

    But I don't think It's online now. I Think they are rebuilding the site.

  • Yeah, How?

  • do u know how 2 put movies videos on the zune

  • Only thing I hate about the new Zunes..

    They were announced 1 month after I got my 30GB Zune -.-

  • OMG same here. >.> But im buying a new one again. lawl.

  • Lol I'll end up getting a new one in the next year maybe.

    All depends on how much the scrolling still annoys me by the time I have the money.

  • wheres the charger?

  • yeah?

  • The sync cable charges the player, through the USB port in your computer.

    You can also buy a separate wall-charger if you want to charge it that way.

  • I have a zune, an Ipod Classic, and a New Touch...I have the zune just cause I like the Interface, and I have the touch and Classic cause They were presents...I don't know Why every one says Ones better than the other...They're all the best players I've ever had...I think they're all equals when It comes to performance...

  • Is this really better than iPod Classic???

  • way better

  • i like my ipod better. ive never heard of a Zune in Canada tho...

  • watch tv

  • ya i live in canada to its not available here you have to go to the states or just order it online

  • its going to be available in canada soon. zune is way better more GB for your buck!

  • the ipod classic 80 is the same price as the zune 80 o.0

  • well i got both and the ipod dont make me happy as my zune. cnet rated zune 80 #1 device for mp3's too . its all good if you want an ipod or if you got an ipod. but i love my zune. 0.o

  • I bought an iPod Classic 80GB and the audio quality on those things is not good at all. The 5G ipods actually have better audio quality then the 6G classics. I have had it for a few days now and I did an A/B tests between 6G iPod, and a cheap Sansa C250 I have and the sansa blew the iPod away as far as audio quality. I used to own a 5G ipod and remember the audio quality to be better then the 6G classic is now. As soon as the zune sells in Canada I will go out a buy one.

  • good thing i bought my 5G ipod before those new things arrived, cus:

    * i hate the new interface

    * i hate the metal cover

    * sound quality (:

    but dont be mad, i envy coverflow a lot though(:

  • Coverflow is sweet. I am also going to really miss having my iPod as a mass storage device. I will also miss the clock and stopwatch. Calendar was kidna handy at times. I bought iPod games that cost me around $20 so now I am out $20. I am super glad I didn't buy my songs off iTunes or else I wouldn't be able to play them on a Zune.

  • wat the easiest way to get video(good quality) on my zune

  • Man I fucking love my 80gb zune way better than the ipod.this bady so light and thin and a big screen with its touch pad feels so good in your hands with its atlumime back and its massive stroge 20,000 soungs!!,25,000 pictures 250 hours of video and comforble head phones which are really exspencesive since the core isn't platice its actually stitch together!!!,also it dosen't hurt your ears when you put them on with sound blocker. including a save screen for zune as well!!

  • did u make love to it?

  • i did and it was wonderful

  • sweet my zune originals 80gb is coming in 4 days in the mail and about a month ago everyone was all booo zunes suck now that people are buying them they love them and with the social growing we are going to be able to share songs more cause more peeps getting them GO ZUNE!!!!

  • fuck you rich people with your i phones and ipod touch and shit

  • i wish i was rich.

    Have all of the fancy accessories that come free on a zune

  • too bad the ipod touch can only hold a third of my music collection- il go with the zune

  • yeah i have a job hoomo??!

  • dude zune is not for poor people bill gates presentated it and you ass hole think that a

    ipod is better than zune

  • a shut up u dumb bitch dont even know what were talkin about

  • i know what i am exatly talking about this is ''microsoft'' zune key word microsoft

    and bill gates made it if you diden't know that you are the dumest person i ever born in this world

  • wanna get down then

  • oh yea i will get donw you mom after i am done

    Oooo

  • Your guys' English is horrible. By the way, the word 'dumbest' has a 'b' after the 'm'.

  • yeah your just dumb if you think that anything made by apple is better then anything made my microsoft. All of apples products are idiot-proof, therefore you should only need to buy one if you are a complete idiot

  • Wouldn't Idiot proof mean idiots wouldnt want it?

    But I think apple products are good

    ONLY the computers tho

    That only because of the Imovie and Garage band tho

    other then that

    Apple Sucks

  • exactly the only reason i would ever buy a mac is to record/edit audio or video. and by idiot proof i mean that idiots can screw them up...so idiots would want them

  • ah okay yeah other then thats they suck

  • i know, no games

  • So, you can use the Sync Cable to charge the Zune?

    Also.. can you use Windows Media Player to download music onto the Zune 80 GB?

  • I just bought a Zune, You use the cable to charge and download <3 , it can sync to your Xbox 360 really really easy.

    You get software now that makes things really really easy, even easier for podcast since you can search for them on the software and it downloads to your zune automatically

  • I know this is a noob question but where is the battery charger? Is it the cable?

  • Yes like most newer mp3 players they just use the USB cable to charge the battery to save on packaging materials.

  • can you put the firmware from this on the first one and is the only different the touch pad thing and the design cause i;m poor can't afford the new one.

  • Yes, the older ones (Zune 30GB players) are updated with the new firmware. So the main difference is the lack of touch pad and the body shape.

  • mobilitysite (is a youtube memeber) has a video on this, check it out ^^

  • i love the zune 80 ill definitely be buying one over and ipod, the screen is great the fact that the headphones that come with it are premium, and the ipod is so cold and unpersonalized

  • Lol, the packaging is just like the iPod, the player is way better though.

  • Or you could just wait a few more days, b/c zune 80 will be in full stock in 3-6 days I believe.

  • dude just got one at walmart today i messed with it and its awesome but my sister payed 4 half so i dont get it till christmas

  • What's so social about the zune

  • you send pics, and songs to eachother and stuff like that

  • yeah but that is so useless

  • then you aren't very social xD

  • Is useless because when you transfer songs you will only be able to play it for 3 days or 3 plays, and not to mention that the wifi drain battery life more quickly. Another thing that is useless is the wifi syncyng, damn sooner or later you have to connect the zune with the pc,and again it will drain the battery life.

  • The 3 day rule is now exempt. It's 3 plays.

    Connecting to the PC doesn't drain battery life you, it CHARGES IT. And in order to wi-fi sync, you have to be plugged into a source of electricity anyways (but that requirement might soon be taken away), and it is VERY useful, because then you don't have to connect to your PC every time you want to sync.

  • thanks my friend!

  • And none of the stores know when they are going to have it in! I hope they have it by black friday!

  • ebay

  • idk how to sell my 30gb?

  • do-do-dodo-do-do-dodo-do-do-do­do-dodo

  • what are you saying?

  • yeah mines ordered and it is currently backordered though =[

  • this is a cool vidio i like the way it ends with the zune closing the screen

  • the way they packaged it was so neat and organized

  • yes everyone is comfortable with bloody ipods..... ipod this ipod that....

    ipod should be banned.....

  • i prefer the ipod UI,

    but apart from that, zune probably has the best features

  • O wait nvm i thought he had two cause he was showing the box and the cable. Sorry it was 11PM =\

  • Great video...

  • wow i lik the packaging and it looks nice man i want 1

  • I had it uploaded a day ago, but set it as "private" until I was ready to release it at 6am Pacific.

  • i bet if people knew your youtube screen name they would have seen this video before the rush on zunerama.

    how long has this been here that we didnt know about??

    -lenny

  • zuneboy, he didn't release them to the public until the NDA was lifted.
