  • Zune has better music interface than I-pod. Doesn't really have apps,Only can be used with windows, Pretty Durable ( I had mine 4 two years droped it alot still works) 16 gb version only allows you to use 12.5 GB which sucks. Overall I'd get it over an Ipod unless I didn't have a smartphone.

  • Thumb's up for Apple!

  • how much does it cost?

  • still nothing compared to the ipod touch. keep trying microsoft.

  • @0neofthem But It Comes with a high price...

  • wtf zunes are sick. Why are people so obsessed with iPods?

  • You know, Microsoft and Apple battling it out in electronics,

    Well someday I'd like to see a NEW Company come in, blow our minds away, and be WAY Better than Apple or Microsoft. No ones got the Guts.

  • that thing looks so cool

    i wish i could get one in canada

  • i have the first generation zune. with the second generation firmware on it. on a free wireless internet area i can go through zunes server and listen to more music thats not on my collection on my zune. i replaced the screen after breaking it two years ago and replaced the battery as well. i can get 20 hours on playback. i like my zune

  • Should I sell my 8gb itouch for a 8gb zune?

  • @Firebirdgoalie YES!!!!!! i traded my 8gb touch for this 80gb zune and im happy :)

  • i have an ipod touch 8 gb but i need more memory for music. i need your opinion, should i stick with apple and just bump up to 16 or 32 gig ipod or should i go with a zune?

  • do you use apps?

  • @fr4nkfurt3333 zune, basically because of the price.

  • One thng that ipod has over the zune is the itunes interface. The interface on the zune marketplace is much more difficult to get used to. Itunes is much simpler. My brother has a zune and I have an ipod nano. I've used them both and I'm gonna stick with the ipod.

  • Comment removed

  • Does anyone know where i can get free downloads for my Zune

  • Use the Flashlynx video downloader in along with the Koyote video converter. You'll be able to download Youtube videos and convert them to mp3's if you want to. If you wanna put DVD's on there, you need to use DVD shrink in combination with Media Coder 0.7. If you just wanna find random downloads of music and videos, I recommend using Frostwire.

  • i love the zune iv had to got a new 1 cus i ran outa space there amazing

  • I have nothing agaist Microsoft I just prefer the iPod over zune it's nothing personle

  • I NEED HELP!!!!!!

    i cant download software for zune but i wanna put songs on my zune!!!

    do i just download 4.0 software to put songs on or do i need to download a differant software to put songs on?or can i just download 4.0?

  • I have an iPod, but prefer most Microsoft products over Apple. Should I get a Zune?

    The iPod I have is 8GB, it's one of the new nanos.( I think it's called a Nano Chromatic. )

    Basically, I am asking if a Zune has better features than an iPod.

  • buy an ipod touch if you have a nano!!! because you can but all your nano songs in the ipod touch... the zune hd is the same as ipod touch but ipod is a bit better. Trust me, I had a zune, it broke and i got an ipod touch and its the best thing i ever buyed.

  • Not trying to be mean but, is English your first language? I am only asking because you said 'buyed'.

  • I am pure french... I just started learning acouple month ago. it's soooo hard!!! But ya... I still need alot of work to do.

  • Well if you had only recently started learning English, than thats pretty good. :P

  • Thanks. But it's so hard because everything is french around me so I guess youtube is a great way to practice. Thanks for your support... I suck alot more will talking then writing! lol

  • @sensor1jo Lol it can be, but yet you speak better english than people who were born here. Bravo

  • Thank you. I've seen a lot of idiots that think they're cool by insulting others by their language. So I guess it's always good to have someone supporting you.

  • im a stupid american i wish i knew another language :(

  • @sploonsta I assume you are not in high school, but didn't you take a foreign language class? and if you are in high school, you should seriously consider taking one

  • lol

  • Awesome

  • With the Zune, you don't have to pay for music.

    i-Pod, the main idea is you should. If you found a way that you don't have to, then good for you.

    Zune has Internet, and whys the battery life so important. You're not going to be listening to it all day.

    When you go to bed, just charge it.

    Simple.

  • exactly why the ipod is better...

  • well i gotta agree, the zunes battery is garbage compard 2 ipod.

  • 'almost three times as much'..... its not near three times as much its more like 2.7 times if you round it off.

  • 'you might have snickered'..... i'm still snickering. iPod FTW

  • I'm getting pretty bored from my 2nd gen itouch. Thought about getting one of these but after seeing all it's limitations, I thought I would trade it in for an iPod classic. Please reply if I should or not.

  • Dude this zune is cheeper and has a bigger screen than the gay ipod classic....Bigger screen=better video watching....Go with zune.

  • @crystalotk I'm with you there, buddy! But, you forgot these pros as well :P

    Decent desktop software (iTunes is terrible), much higher bit rate which means better sound quality, another thing that helps the sound quality is the fact it has very superior earphones, also has wireless sync and better navigation. Zune rocks!!

  • iPod touch 2G simply breaks the competition. What does Zune say to ... YouTube, downloading iTune stuff right on your bed(and its actually faster) , hundreds of games for usually 99c, oh and btw i typed this comment on my ipod. Can zune do all that?

  • Can the iPod Touch hold a decent amount of music? No.

  • WELL SAID.

  • Zune doesn't need to do that. It's called the Zune HD, and it's a Portable Media Player, not a PDA, like the touch. They're going for two completely different markets. If your going to compare players, compare the right ones.

    Look at it like this.

    Competition:

    Zune 120 = iPod Classic

    Zune HD = iPod Touch (Even though, again, Zune HD is shooting for a rich PMP experience, iPod Touch shoots for a good Game and Pocket computer(

  • well, TBH... the only thing that ipod has over zune is itunes and the app store. can you endure all of that?

  • Had my Zyne 120GB for a year now its changed my life. I can have ALL my music with me in the car, plane, office, garage etc etc. I have loaded a few of my favorite movies onto the Zune as well, and with the large screen they are actually watchable its great. So I love this thing, but here are the downsides in my opinion: 1. No graphic equalizer, and 2: for video the format MUST be mp4 only. Plus theres something ironic about being "different" with a device from the global dominator, Microsoft.

  • Pretty good review.

    And Rebel232, just so you know, wmv format works too, along with mp4 for your videos.

    I own a Zune 120 and it seems to be more friendly with the wmv, because hell, it's Windows Media Video right? And Microsoft made Windows, so it's pretty much it's own video format.

  • iPods rock, but there's nothing really wrong with the zune. I just prefer all my itouch apps and my touch screen, cover flow, and iTunes store right on the iPod.

  • GTFO.

  • my next ipod better have radio!!!!

  • Of course they're going to make it seem great, but who needs wireless syncing when you can sync and charge it with a wire? iPod has way more content and when it comes down to it, do you need to share music through wifi? iPhone and iPod Touch already can sync wirelessly through Bonjour, MobileMe and the third party app Orb Live. Did you hear the Zune Leap Year Story? Once, there was a leap year, and the CPU in zune didn't know how to handle it and all the Zune devices froze.

  • wtf are all the stupid apple people watching this vid for if you dont like zunes? go jack off with your picture of steve jobs somewhere else

  • i freakin love my zune

    except the software

  • I agree the software could be better.

  • over time, it will improve through updates.

  • Zune sucks, get an Ipod.

    This guy sucks, get an Ipod.

  • well the ipod a simple a good the zune is simple but has better features than the ipod

  • well the zune is ugly as hell

  • really? I think it's beautiful :)

  • Cause people on the street look through/into your pockets?

    : /

  • fuck you man the ipod is so over fucking rated. alot of people say ipods are diffiult to use and they break easily

  • True.. their over rated because they been out a lot longer than Zune, Ipod was the first high

    quality mp3 player to ever come out before the Zune, that why more people got their hands on the Ipod, Zune kinda just pop out of no were. When Zune came everyone pretty much had the Ipod thats why Zune had such a hard start in breaking into the portable mp3 era. Don't get me wrong the I like the Zune too.

  • yes, that's completely true. ipod and apple are much more recognizable brands. they have been out so long so people will obviously go with what they know. plus you might want an ipod because everybody at school has one. (yes, i have one. it's pretty boring TBH) after i jailbroke my itouch, i thought i would have a world of possiblities. nahh, all it gives you is free apps and emulators you probably barely use.

  • Take that ipod 2:10

  • zune lookz like shit i personaly love miscosoft productz but the appple ipod iss way better than that trust me zune iss dumb thick

  • does the Zune 30gb 2nd gen really exist????

  • nah

  • thx some nitwit wanted to sell it to me!!!!!

  • no problem yo

  • zune hd looks awesome.

  • get an ipod touch...

  • yup, pay alot more for less storage space. certainly makes sense.

  • true, i like the 120gb.

    the apps are okei when they don't crash...

    lol

    i'd rather have capacity rather than features for right now. plus 5 yrs from now the 120 will still be decent.

  • I couldn't count the number of times that apps crashed on my iPod Classic. I'm looking forward to getting a Zune.

  • I can't wate for the ZuneHD to comeout in the UK

  • I have had my iPod for about a year and a half, but I am thinking about getting a Zune. Should I get one?

  • Get a Zune or Sanza. I've had my iPod for 4 years, and i've always wanted to replace it. iTunes is a fucking joke. The only reason why i haven't replaced it is because i need the 30 gigs.

  • yeah i loved my sansa but they were fragile. rememeer my 1st one broke and i couldnt use the warranty. i then got a second one. it ws acting dum b so u used the warranty. i bought a zune and a week later my new sansa came back xD

  • He lied. It takes no time whatsoever to get used to the touch pad.

  • I agree with that. It took me about 5 seconds.

  • Zune HD will pwn all

  • hahaha

  • IT STILL LOOK LIKE A BRICK!!

  • I have the 2nd generation zune and I gotta say I haven't had any problems with it. Granted its my third zune but my first two were 1st generations so obviously they've made major improvments. I like the sleeker look of it and the battery life, I've found is really good, When I've played it for an hour or so, it barely goes down at all.

    The radio feature is pretty sweet too. I don't care about apps and stuff, I don't need to have internet 24/7.

  • My 1st generation Zune won't even read on my new computer.

  • ipod touch is better!

  • Only because of the apps. As soon as XNA gets going for the zune it will PWN.

  • yea! if it had internet that would be awesome!

  • Google zuneHD.

  • I did not know that! : l

  • I think I'll sell my old 30gb and get one of these. I like the main button look a lot better anyhow.

  • eew.....

  • In the past 3 years I've had 3 ipods break on me.

    And that's from gentle use.

    I'm going to give Zune a try.

  • ipod touch / iphone owns this

  • Yeah maybe, but the classic doesn´t

  • yea but this is not suppose to replace the ipod touch. Its oing against the ipod classic.

  • not made to compete with the touch dumbass , it it was made to compete with it then it would have similar features

  • i just got my 120 GB Zune today... haven't even installed the software yet and i already love it. Ipod Killa lol

  • someone please help me??!! i love my ipod but the zune offer of unlimited downloads for $14.99 a month is irresistible!!!! wat shuld i do????

  • Get the Zune then, I have one as well as an iPod.

  • is that 14.99 a month thing a good deal? can u really get all the songs that you want?

  • ITs a good deal if you love music, and now every month you can keep 10 FREE Mp3 tracks of your choice.

  • Can you use an Ipod on a PC or is Apple one of those selfish companies that won't let you do anything that isn't related to their company

  • yeah u can use it if u have a pc but thts not being selfish just trying to get more business

  • wat a turd....

  • sorry it took a while to reply but it was in my pocket when i went outside then when i got back in it was cracked in multiple spots. screen is very weak and not that sensitive. i wouldn't recommend it especially if you are getting it because of the touch screen buttons are just as good. I don't like trackball like this. I love the touch screen yp-p3/ipod touch. yp-p3 is close to a multi player. Offer subway map and calculator and sketchbook. such a practical

  • .... ever considered you didnt take good care of your Zune andit was at its breaking point?

  • LOL no videos made avalible hahahahhaha that funny use BIT TORRENT BITCH! All the movies you fucking want for free... muhahahahhah

  • good review and cute guy lol 8p

  • LOL he said you cant really use the Wifi on the zune?? what an idiot!! you can.. you just have to be nearby someone with a zune.. and you have to agree to send eachother music..

  • Can I use the 2nd gen Zune on my Bose SoundDock

  • 22 hours, what the fuck did they do? keep the backlight on full, and the screen always on?

  • I have a question, Creative or Zune, as I found that creative sync with windows media player. I dont really want to install more software

  • can you plays games on the Zune

  • yess i think when update it idkk thoo :)

  • yes

  • very nice review.. something I'm always looking for. Thx

  • About the same price range as a iPod classic. I'd get it, now that iPod only makes the classic with 120G. 120G is too big.

  • you actually dont have to get it 120 i got an 80 gig

  • Uhhh, yes you do. The current iPod Classic only comes in 120G.

  • really cuz i have an 80gig

  • Did you not read my comment? THE CURRENT IPOD CLASSIC ONLY COMES IN 120GIG.

    GO TO THE EFFING WEBSITE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

    The 80G was last years iPod. Jeeez.

  • You really are what you say you are, "coolmanstupid" STUPID.

  • and it wont detect half my videos.....what a piss off

  • Id think twice befor i bought one of theose zunes.....the software sucks hard!!!! it makes you load all the media into the program which takes forever and it tries to put all the songs into albums....you cant just access the drive on the file system and put the media in the directories.........I am really dissapointed with it..im taking mine back after christmas and spending a little more money on the archos ...... I would not reccomend this product

  • uhhh....you have the option to import your media into the software pretty much any way you want. so, yea. know your shit.

  • down with iPod anything

  • looks pretty cool, a heck of a lot cheaper than those iPods too :D plus you dont need to use crap ass iTunes rofl

  • yea I know its awesome! Im getting one tommorow ^^

  • Very nice video on Zune MP3 player. On my website you can online text for free to anyone. Very easy and awesome to send multiple text messages in one click. Just go to my profile to see.

  • ya realy its just someones opinion y shud you care what he thinks he has a wright to his own opinion

  • I have a zune 80gb and love it. I got a zune just to be different and skew off from the ipod generation (had an ipod mini handed down to me). If you do get an ipod, just BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR MUSIC! I lost all my music when my hard drive crashed, and I couldn't redownload my songs from itunes (you HAVE to buy them AGAIN). I backed it up on a flashdrive, but had to reformat it when I reinstalled winXP. Praise the zune software to allow me to drag my songs from my zune to my computer.

  • wats up with 3:33 ....wat is that???!?!?!

  • Zunes come with free engravings, that was one of the many artistic patterns you can get on the back, Brian didn't really mention it but it does shine in the light oddly in that shot.

  • thanks bro... i might get wonna those for my zune

  • Fanboy!

  • this is a review u mug

  • i lik the ipod nanos better than the zunes

    4gb mp3s, but wen it comes 2 comparing this 80gb zune 2 the ipod classic forget about the zune just simply blows it away!!!

  • It's clear you're just throwing out a biased opinion because you don't give any reasoning behind why you think this. Also the Zune in this video is last years model the Zune 3rd generation is even better...

  • still doesnt change it the nano beats the 16gb zune... and the reason why the 80gb zune is better is because it has more features than than the ipod classic so im srry that i forgot 2 tell a reason behind it mr. mp3 expert

  • See, you can just say "the nano beats the 16gb zune". End of thought. Zune's are better then Nano/Classic iPods by far. The combination of the Zune pad, Radio, easier to use interfaces, lower price, and a bigger screen are all reasons that the Nano doesn't measure up.

  • okay let me remind u ITS MY OPINION.... i think the nano beats the 16gb zune... if u think otherwise well then great 4 u because i respect others opinions unlike u

  • I would respect your opinion if you had a reason behind it but you don't you just make statements and back it up by telling me that I don't respect your opinion...

  • why do i need reason behind it its my opinion!!! my gosh learn the meaning bro... its not a statment because no one cares if i say ipod nano is better than the 16gb zune

  • reasoning fail

  • すごい!!

  • just wondering about the zunes batt life, is it something to be concern about? im thinking about getting it...thoughts?

  • No not really i've been using my zune since march and the battery goes at lease for a day in its lowest settings and without wifi...but cnet is right WI-FI does kill ur battery! YEAH U SHOULD GET IT!!! WAYYY BETTER THAN IPOD CUSTOMIZATION WISE!

  • kool, i thought about it and its not like im gonna have wifi on all the time, so im getting it for xmas thnks.

  • What are low settings ? im thinking of buying one and if i leave the volume on max! how long will it last.

  • Low setting meaning like out of the 3 display back lighting options of high medium low choosing low and also for amount of time the back light stays on which range from 1 sec to always on choosing a low time period..... ZUNE IS THE BEST IF U GO TO MY PAGE U CAN SEE A MINI LITTLE REVIEW I DID ON MY PINK 8GB VERSION!

  • Here are the FACTS. The Zune 120 has a larger screen and wifi, which take considerably more battery life. The iPod Classic has a smaller screen, better battery life, and is MUCH smaller, and has iTunes' vast array of entertainment(MOVIES AND TV SHOWS), but lacks features like radio(WHY), and a ZunePad(oh wait! that's just Microsoft's cheap knockoff of the clickwheel!) I would suggest going to your local BestBuy to try out the zune in person, then go to your local Apple Store to try out the iPod.

  • The apple iPod is waaaayyyy more fragile. The Zune is stronger and more durable.

  • I've had a 30GB 1st genertion Zune for about a year. In my opinion, the Zune 120GB is a great invesment for anyone that wants a lot of storage, good battery life, games, movies (you need to install Cucusoft to do this), podcasts, and the ability to share songs with other Zune users. The Zune does not share some Ipod features- it is still very large in size, not as sleek and the Zune marketplace is average. It is compatable with almost all digital media files on your PC. I strongly reccomend it.

  • bom chika wah wah chika wah wah

  • does he have to act gay or he knew he would be reviewing it over the internet, he didnt compare the the sound against the ipod which is the best sound. I only really care about the sound though

  • No.

    The iPod's sound quality has always so-so, and of late, critics have been saying the Zune's audio quality is a bit better than the iPod's.

  • go ipod nano 4th gen

  • me heart zune

  • they make it sound like a piece o shit, i might not get it.

  • 80*3 is going to be 240GB, so it's almost twice the previous one.

  • great review, thanks

  • u can make the battery last lonegr if u ste teh screen to go off afetr liek 3 seconds(if teh zune has that function)

  • mmm... adult hits...

  • haha lol

    noticed that too

  • bom chika wah wah

  • god damn it i wan't one but i live in europe and i can't wait for them to come out with a 3rd generation so i'm just going to settle and update my ipod to a new classic 6th gen or a touch...

  • i think he lives at the bay area

  • you're cute

  • I have Microsoft computer but.. I'm a ipod for life

  • No Zune for UK or Windows XP users. Or search function. :( improve this an I will buy. Higher batt life not important but a seller for me.
