AMAZING
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love my Zune it’s great, I have had it for 2 years and I only just started having problems with it. I am a bit rough with the hold button so it doesn’t work anymore.
Other than that it’s amazing. I could sit here and sing it’s praises all day, but I have things to do.

Took two,but was easy to do

I’m fairly new at online ordering. I used my economic stimulis money to purchase A Zune-80. The Zune works great,but that’s not what this review is about. When the Zune arrived,the battery would charge just fine,then drain down to nothing within one day,even without my using it.At this point I knew I was in for A hard time; returning something online.I went to Amazons & clicked on the return instructions.Whoever set up Amazons return policy gets my vote for office.In no time I had A new Zune on its way to me,the necessary paperwork to return the defective one & several e-mails keeping me informed of all progress.Had I purchased from A local store,I would’ve gotten A replacement,but,I would have to drive to town,fight traffic,use up $20 worth of diesel,on top of that, it was about $15 cheaper at Amazon.
Great mp3 player

I going to make this review short and simple. This is a great mp3 player. I have both the 160gp ipod and this zune. I would pick the zune over the ipod any day. The zune has a bigger screen and a raido. And for people who say the zune software sucks. well they must be the most retarted people on the fase of the earth. The zune’s software is easy to use. Well if you want a great mp3 player then get the zune.
Very good, but not perfect

Things I like:
*The size and shape of the device
*The large, beautiful screen
*The Sound quality
*The picture viewer
*The optional touch feature
*The interface and menus
*The really cool headphones that come with it-fits nearly any sized ear
*The USB that comes with it
Things I don’t like:
*The Zune program: the only way to sync, the program is slow; and it is not that user friendly. There are many bugs in synchronization too
*THE AWFUL SERVICE- it is nearly impossible to find a phone number, you have to go through website hell for help
*My battery is defective and trickles, it never lasts more than 5 hours when playing, and when turned off, it lasts about 8, which is weird. It needs to be replaced, but the terrible microsoft service is sending me the package to send it in and get fixed; 6-8 weeks. Sucks. I should have bought it new rather than used in “mint condition”. It was in mint condition save the defect battery
*another weird thing is some of the album art is displayed in extremely low, blurry quality, and it crops the album art from a square to a rectangle because of the screen shape.
If you like the ipod and itunes you probably better of with one of those because of the good service and everything. But this is a pretty cool gadget.
Waiting for it to blow up next!

I have never owned an ipod, or mp3 player. I read some reviews and talked to a few people and decided on the Zune, by Microsoft. Boy was that ever a mistake!
I mainly decided on the Zune, because I did not want to be strapped to just using itunes. I also wanted something with massive storage space and the 80 gig Zune filled the need for me. My Zune worked great for two weeks and then all heck broke loose.
It stopped syncing my music from my hard drive and from the Zune website. Massive synce problems, I mean massive. Then it crashed on me twice, dumping my extensive collection of music both times. I could never get my entire collection back onto my Zune. I couldn’t even get 1 song at a time to load.
The trouble shoot web pages did nothing for me and after reading the tech. support news forums I was amazed at the amount of problems that people were reporting. Especially right after buying their Zune. Can you say “class action law suit on the horizon?”
I called tech support and I don’t think the guy even knew what a Zune was. It sounded like he was asking me questions from a set of que cards. No help at all from those bozos. He finally told me that I had to send it in for repair. I was like “Dude, I just got this thing 2 weeks ago. It shouldn’t need any repair.” I told him that if he thought it needed repairing, that I should just be given a new one. No dice, and no help from the Zunnies.
My last attempt at syncing music from the Zune site resulted in a total melt-down of my Zune. I got another synce error, so I disconnected the Zune from my PC. Right after I did this, the screen went blank. Finally after some button pushing, a messege came on the screen telling me that I had to re-load the firm ware. This was the third crash mind you. Automatically knowing what to do after a crash now, I went and tried to re-install the firmware. Only this time it wouldn’t load. After 3 or 4 unsuccessful attempts at trying to re-load the firm ware I finally gave up and now I’m stuck with a $240.00 black brick that doesn’t do anything.
Whatever you do, don’t buy a Zune. Get anything but one of these. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go get my money back and buy myself an ipod. The only thing else that could happen with my Zune, is that it could blow up in my face. I’ve got it secured in a cooler with dry ice. Zune = BAD!
