Zune Review

[egbduf]

what mask?

[Gurut2009]

I thinking about getting the 120 GB Zune or the 160 GB iPod. I'm not sure yet. My last iPod had a lot of problems, but I haven't tried a Zune yet.

[inerd40593]

looks cool. but i like ipod/itunes too.

[andrw675]

The Zune used to have the advantage over the iPod because of the widescreen playback and larger screen. But now Apple released the iPod touch so what's the point in buying a Zune for the same price?

[alexrenaud]

zune suck just by cheking this review thats what i think i got a ipod touch 2G and its way faster to hit the menu and to scroll or whatever and the screen is even larger so yeah why bother (btw im not an apple fan i better like microsoft but i still love my ipod XD

[Toenie]

lol at the mask, your fat, dont hide it but work out in stead of making masked reviews

[bto4]

when does he wear the mask? im too lazy to watch the whole thing lol

[ROKR77]

I dont like these things GO IPOD NANO !!!

[3HaloPlayers]

lol i got mine for free and traded it with some microsoft fan for a 80 gig ipod classic

[UnBoXiNgDuDe23]

yea u need to format it to whatever format the zune is

[arod1122]

Do you need to format videos to put it on the Zune or you can just drag it in right away?

[alockownsall]

why the hell are you wearing a mask?

[fluffythedestroyer11]

hod do u get videos on any1 have a tutorial or anything

[xboxfreak69]

oh thats the 1st gen nvm

[manetric12]

zune suxxxxx!!! go ipod touch!!!!!!!!!!

[cjp132]

IPODS RULE

GO IPOD TOUCH

[stewy098]

ipods suck

[pokeman260]

[mikeinchains]

[alockownsall]

Lol your probaly a fat 12 year old kid.

[KillerJumpingBeanz]

did you get the 30 gig?

[AlexFreestyle23]

where did u get the family guy episodes???

[mikeinchains]

millions and millions of ipods(over 150 million to be exact)have been sold since they came out. as of may 2007 there have been under 1 million zunes sold lol under 1 million! apple sold more iphones then micro sold zunes lol lol pwned... yep pwned

[XtremeMoviez]

You would be the nerd to research crap like that. You probably spend that much time looking that stuff up wishing you could afford one.

[BrandonPresents]

DUDE YOU LISTEN TO HAWK AND TOM

you must live near me :O upstate south carolina ftw i guess lol anyways great review i think im gonna have to get one, i just lost my ipod anyways :\

[Potcharadanai]

I love "WHITE AND NERDY" too

[Potcharadanai]

I love "WHITE AND NERDY" too

[madonna314]

how much are Zunes?

[fluffythedestroyer11]

less expensive then ipods

[Sashiel]

Excellent vid.  Now I'm sold as to what player to get. I like that unlike other reviews, yours was more like a "regular joe" review. Thanks you helped out.

[teck1king]

i hate ipod too thx that reely helped alot

[bawitback]

I despise the ipod, this looks like a decent alternative! Thanks for the Review

[skatergirlvans]

nice... but no offence zune supporters i PERSONALLY prefer the ipod i dunno y just easier for me 2 use

[guiltyspark75]

That was a very in depth Zune review.I like that unlike most reviews you went through the Zune software. Nice JOB!!!

[ronbat777]

thanks

[mojoNIKEdawg]

best zune video ive seen. helped me sooooooo much! THANKYOU =)

[rolandlaskernolaboy]

when you synced alltht stuff will it automatically go to the right place plz tell me

[rolandlaskernolaboy]

and can you drag and drop videos from your computer

[rolandlaskernolaboy]

can you drag and drop songs from your computer to put on the zune

[3E3zo]

are for or against zune in my opinion and the fact i own both video ipod and 30 zune and 30 zune is better

[gotahaveaguitar]

ok help. i love the new zune but all my music is on an external but only itunes manages to find all of it. WMP only god have and half of what it got has no artist. can the zune sofware be compatable?

[MiyukiTenten21]

can you use music from itunes or what? o:

[epinky2295]

Hell no

[cadekarren]

I think, It's the same file format I think. I'm not sure though

[JeffWaffles]

iTunes uses a protected AAC file format. Zune software does not take protected AAC format songs for legal reasons, but it doesn't mean it's impossible to do. You can just downlaod an AAC to WMA format converter. It's an extra step, but if you've got a lot on iTunes, and want to switch it over, it'd be worth it.

[mana2432]

yo im about to break my fucking zune im tired of that shit its too complicated to just organize your music, the ipod is simple but this shit is straight up crap

[cadekarren]

hey, do you get that 14 day download pass when you buy it

[zleftyguitarist]

ya b ut all the songs u downladed go back, so you put them on a flash drive and put the songs on it

[cadekarren]

Oh, Thanks so much I would've just downloaded a ton of stuff then lose it all then I'd be pissed.

[epinky2295]

yes

[kainosktisi51902]

wow the screen is just gorgeous...

[lolimamonkeyman]

thanx alot, this video made me want a zune

[macbyatch]

i'm sorry xlost spartanx but ipods rule. the new ipods can do everything u say they can't in the first part of this video.

[geeingu]

can u just play regular music on the zune that was on your itunes ?

[dazedicer]

Zune will probably be my next mp3 player in a year or 2!!

[LiuShooPoo]

how do you delete all the songs that they put on the zune already?

[ilubB5]

your brother is so cute! =)

[mwidunn]

Please, . . . move *back* from the camera. Most of what you're describing can't be seen.

[Pigskin1126]

headphones are hard to take out so when you drop the zune it wont fall and hit the groud.

[felix290492]

i prefer zune

[PLeyava]

Zune > iPod

[alexanderhawks80]

well i though the zune like was a mobile phone as ell so im gonna just buy and ipod and save 200 or 300 dollars

[verdun]

ipods cost more. the zune is cheaper

[alexanderhawks80]

lol im getting a new nano for 200 dollars in aus

[caughtbytheflash]

how gay

[brydon10]

very similar to an ipod, the scrolling with the letter and many other things. But this thing looks better imo , I have a 30gb ipod

[xxJust2340xx]

Idk what color to get? Brown or Black?

[XxIbanezGuitarsxX]

BLACK

[verdun]

i was wondering can anyone tell me how to delete the music, videos, and pictures that they have put on the zune when you buy it in the stores bcuz it's frustrating me on how to get it off of there.

[xxJust2340xx]

Manually remove on zune software?

[panicluver605]

your zune should have came with a cd to download on your computer. you have to put that cd into your computer and then delete your songs

[Taurus702B]

Plus you can't play your music from your Zune using the computer's Zune software like on iTunes.

[nikeSB420]

hazeleye- yes u can put music from limewire to the zune. and it does it for you so u dont have to drag em in. zune is way betta than the ipod.

[moonlitphantasm]

I put music from Limewire to my iPod all the time without any issues.

[flashabby]

im retarted when it comes to this stuff. i was wondering how u keep ur music that u downloaded in the 14 day trial for free. can somebody explain it to me please

[mwidunn]

This is my complaint: Click, click, click. Do I *really* have to listen to that sound everytime I choose something? Sounds cheap as hell.

Also, if I'm understanding what I've read from other sources, Zune does NOT have a proper radio: It offers FM only. So, no talk, no news, no sports, no nothing from AM. That, to me, is not a radio. I find that not just deceptive to say it has one, but incredibly half-ass and useless.

[dillweed17]

i thought this thing was pretty cool but now i see what its like..its shit its so gay ill jusdt stick with my ipod

[macbyatch]

thank u! ipods kick ass!

[thekidfromvista]

Can you use LIMEWIRE TO PUT MUSIC ON THERE? and if you can is it easy? you just drag the songs from limewire into the zune software? write me back thanks.

[crazykenbei]

yea you can after you download the song you go to the zune desktop and it update with songs that are downloaded and not only that its well arranged or

yea after you finished your song from limewwire go to the folder and drag it from there

[pokerguy94]

Dude thats f***ing awesome, the radio tells you the station name and even the show.

[greenday052492]

i just got my zune, love it, buttons though seem loose

[mdpthegreek]

ditto got my h3 zune

[swordrain13]

whoa- i was listening to the fray 'how to save a life' on yahoo radio as i watched him load the same song on... cool

[hazeleyedguy930]

hey wats up...I have a question could you put music from limewire into the zune?

[sonofabeeach]

yea u can all u have to do is just drag n drop ur music

[codymoss3300]

hey i have one questjin can i use lime to get music

[mdpthegreek]

very nice review probably the most in depth one i have ever seen. i was gonna get a zune but than i decided not to and this has made me want to get one again so i will be getting the halo 3 one. may make a video showing the content on it once i get it

[Rocket1998]

i got a zune today yaah

[codymoss3300]

hey were did you get the videos for the zune

[Rocket1998]

I only need 60 dollars to buy a zune

[tdriftking88]

after the 14 day trial can you still use the music? I have heard of the subscription problem. Like when you end it your content that you downloaded is rendered useless.

[uniter01]

Damn I got a nameless chinese player with similar functions with 1/5 of the size for 30€. Overprized hughe bricket.

[nicckkcckk]

for the market place 14 day card is it free videos too? or do the videos cost money?

[aznboifromVA]

no way 14 hrs of battery life.

mine is lyke up 2 6 hrs.

[greenday052492]

looks like it kicks the iPods ass. Id get a zune and get rid of my iPod but i spent like 300 bucks on itunes music and fucking apple wont let me use it on other systems, oh well

[xSleepy00x]

whoever said the software crashed... they should have read that a high speed internet connection is recommended

[hvaughan5]

actually you can listen to those songs during the trial, and then at the end of it they won't play anymore. It's BS

[zachposey]

unless you remove the drm, then its not trail protected and you can use as long as you want, when my zune finnaly arrives, ima download an assload of music, remove all the drm, free musics

[Canadien001]

can you sync your zune on different computers?

[shiftyshifty00]

The Zune is region free, right?

[Colamix666]

Creative Vision M or W is better than the zune.

[pookman182]

you have blur's self titled, nice...i hope its not just song 2

[HomestarCutie7]

Weird Al Yankovic ROCKS!!

[thunderbob4]

how come when people compare the zune to the ipod

they use the ugly brown and green zune. what about pink,red,white or black & blue.

zune is no better than the ipod video and of course its better than than the shuffle and the nano.

[bry1500]

Ya, I'm getting a Zune :).

[NyBayBie]

are the songs u download free? or do they cost money.

[doerrfan]

God People Are Stupid.

[NyBayBie]

Shut your mouth, fatty.

[ProxShady]

You get a 14 day free trail with the zune allowing you to get free music in 14 days

S when you get the zune...

DOWNLOAD LIKE HELL!

[zunercks101]

this video is good, im getting my zune next weekend im getting the brwn one

[Bootz48]

Now i know im getting a Zune

this video was so good

i always wondered how the market place was

[0scar2ooo]

zune is way beter then an ipod an i agre with futbolskillz

[futbolskillz]

i love my zune and its really annoying when people criticize it for things that are not true.

[soccermaniac88]

does zune give you software to change ur videos to the .wmv or mpeg 4 format?

[TashonJohnson]

I love the Microsoft Zune and I know the consumer who bought the device love it too.

[Aiman619]

alright! you got fort minor's we major... i love that album!

[eddiehalofreak]

nice vid, i like the review

oh you have the extact sae screen i have, but there is a huge line of stuck pixles

[mii999]

i do think that the zune is good but maybe i could agree that the wifi thing is kinda nonsensical. but a good player. i think the only reason why theres so much hate going arnd is because of the whole apple microsoft war.

[Netheros]

I think the Zune is quite good, don`t know why people critisize it so much. The only thing it's crap is the wifi stuff. You pass songs a after 3 playbacks or 3 days they vanish. Any idea of its release date for Europe?

[GuitarsRule08]

Hey I was wondering. if u download songs with the 14 day pass thingy will the songs only be available to you temporarly or permantly. And will songs allready saved to ur cpu be compatible with the Zune software?

[sonofabeeach]

you can just drag and drop the songs onto the zune software or you can just use limewire

[avatar098]

can you upload songs that is in your already in your computer?

(not to mention the iTunes in the computer)

or should i buy an ipod instead

[Breado2]

was he wearing a mask??

[jasonstheory]

That's what I thought at first. But it's just the camera he's holding.

[gwizard014]

do zunes still come with the 14 day trial pass

[gwizard014]

hey xspartanx where can u get a dvd ripper to put movies and tv shows on your zune? what did u use?

[darekdude]

i agree you should get ipod video

[NecromanceS]

ok, my ipod nano broke, so ive been wondering, since the zune and the ipod video are about the same price at the local best buy, which one should i get? I think i heard that the zune wouldnt be itunes compatible, so i dont know which one to get. little advice? anyone?

[guillereturns27]

You should get an iPod video

[yzak100]

Go for the iPod Dude if you dont want to start over your music. For the Zune you can only use Zune Music which sucks so go for the ipod for music for the zune you have to BUY it only ONLY BUY MUSIC in the iPod you can even use Free Music in iTunes.

[YumPieMusic]

There should be a war between apple and microsoft. Word and products are solving anything, they should just see who lives. I vote microsoft

[sex14]

i just need 3 days until i get my new zune! woo hoo! lol

[sex14]

stupid! how can the zune be free?

[kor9313]

Excelleny review and I LOVE 30 seconds to mars!!! I saw them in concert at the 99xmas ball!!

[shoggoth]

My god that's clunky.

[beastlair]

nice review!

[needs9a9name]

long live ipod

[hoyanwan2k7]

Why do you have Usher on your Zune?

[travis264]

dude we have the same keyboard

[ItzMeThatGuy]

it wont let me put it in my libary its family guy

[Zunehelp]

download your family guy videos from google video

[ItzMeThatGuy]

all the links for family guy go straight to you tube

[hoyanwan2k7]

are they free?

[NewlifeArcade]

I own a ps3 also + a wii ThunderBob and I agree strongly because I think the same thing will happen... The IPhone will be clearly better and nicer but cost as much as a...well...ps3.(thats sad lol) So it is a BIG rip. The Zune will be like the wii and be simpler but still kinda high tech.

[ItzMeThatGuy]

hi iam alex iam 15 from miami,FL

well i was thinking about getting a zune i was wondering about what u thought

also what converter do u use for your zune the ones i used for my ipod [no longer have, stolden] the sound didnt match the picture

please get back to me about the issue

[ThunderBOB3]

To ItzMeThatGuy,

You should get a zune and you dont need a converter.

" I didn't" I am for sure that you dont need a converter. For that i think that the converter is already inside the zune, zune zune.

[ThunderBOB3]

Also ItzMeThatguy

no offense but you really should not put Personal information over, literally, over the internet.

[ThunderBOB3]

i am on ps3 network!

okay first to all zune haters i know apple will make a iphone but come on $499.99 for a 4Gb phone. thats bs.

i bet that zune will take over apple as soon as they make the iphone. i just hope zune doesnt make that reject zunephone.

but one last thing it costs $599.99 for the 8Gb version. go look it up on youtube type Iphone its a nice and expensive doom for apple.

[guillereturns27]

Yeah! And thanks for listen Weird Al! I loved it!

[Finnegani]

great walk through!!!!

[Loss]

Good Review!

[heheric]

Great review(Y)(Y)(Y):D whats your Gamertag on 360 live?

[SoooBlue]

Great review!

[phatmandave69]

if i have episodes of 'the office' that i down loaded off of itunes can i use tunebite platinum or something else to put it on my zune? plz help.

[Aigan]

Not legally...and most likely not anyway. Apple DRM is pretty hard to crack. I would recommend not buying anything from itunes ever.

[eukfire16]

ok...it's not touch sensitive buttons it's cuz..well...the I-Pod has copyright

[ZL4D]

I don't see any reason to buy this player. For starters the screen is 3inches(ipod 2.5) but they both have the same resolution. The Ipods sensitve clickwheel is fantastic, the Zune buttons are not. One thing that sounds cool is the WiFi connection, but i'm not sure you can share anything you want. GREAT review!!

W.K Sweden

[Aigan]

I can't wait to get one of these...it will be so awesome! Oh and plosem, it works for all the music, but there isnt any videos in the marketplace...though maybe in the future!

[GenCollado]

Did you know that u can play pause while you're in the menu? That's a good advantage as you don't have to go to the "now playing" section of the Zune. I just found that out.

[Plosem]

So are you saying with the 14 day Zune pass, you can download whatever(music,videos,etc.) you want from the Marketplace for free, in a fourteen day period? BTW, do you have to pay extra money to activate the pass or does it allow you to use as soon as you open the box.

[Tboninator]

It's a fourteen day free pass, but once that pass is up, your music is deleted, but recorded with macdata in case you want to find it and buy it.

Songs are 79 MS points each and roughly 900 for an album. Not too bad, 900 is about 11 bucks.

[ranger616]

where did you get the family guy episodes?

[migman29]

u can download music from ure computer u dont have to download it from the zunestore

[Pranav360]

ya u can

[aceofspades102]

great review.

[GohanDBZ]

Very nice review

[crammage]

why dont you guys ever talk about creative mp3 players?

like the creative vision :m?

it has more features the only better thing the zune has is the screen and rubbery stuff ?

[wildguy293]

Best review ive seen well done in-depth analysis

[ekeesser1]

my zune doesnt work with stolen music does yours?

[SaDiStiC2121]

you either dont own a zune, or you downloaded a peace of shit song thats fake. I do own one, and yes, they do play downloaded music.

[GenCollado]

mine does.

[weezerfan]

oooh, it has a radio

[stian123123]

alt+a is a much easier way to mark everything=)

[ekeesser1]

ya but it doesnt support wma but it says it does so someone help me?

[pendingdoom]

i wish i wasnt the only person with the zune around my Area so i can send stuff.

Why is zune Better than the Ipod? becuase when you put videos into your zune, it automaticaly Converts them to the zune (Sets Zune Prefrences to the Video to be synced. The zune also supports more than one type of Video Format, so you dont have to have the hassle of finding a converter. Besides the Video part.

[jamleafer]

do you now if you can sync music from Windows Media Player??

[pendingdoom]

No, it has its own program. BUT it still looks like the same Layout as the WMP 11.

[jamleafer]

can i use existing music on my computer? i would just have to open it in the zunes program right?
