I personally won't buy a Zune, because in french, putting my hand in my pocket and saying that I reach for my Zune, would mean I'm grabbing my manhood.

Otherwise, if you want more features, better audio quality, and higher storage, buy something else.

Transfer protocal can be tricky, and the battery is not replaceable (although mine still holds a killer charge) are just minor gripes to me.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Rochester N.Y. | | | Me and the wifey own both brands....i give thumbs up to Zune.
Just the fact that i can plug in my Zune into somebody elses computer and download songs from their Zune program as a guest and not loose them or have my Zune program go all crazy makes it a better choice than the pod.
On the other hand....i think the itunes program has a lot more choices when it comes to song downloading.

But seriously, Zunes>iPods. I despise itunes (why do have their own special format? it takes up more space too and its the same quality as mp3). Plus, Zunes are just plain cooler. Unless you get an ipod touch, but then you'd have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a ridiculously small amount of space. |

AAC is part of the MP4 standard. Plays on most devices. Takes up less space than MP3/sounds better than MP3. Only the DRM is proprietry, and more and more itunes stuff is DRM free.
iPods/iTunes fully support MP3 if you have older files, or files from other places.
Compare that to Zune: Locked in MS format. It isn't even compatable with the previous Microsoft "Play for sure" product line. |

But 160 GB is so rediculous, because you have soooo much music, its hard to justify it as a portable device...
In other words, what do you want to listen to right now? well here it is...
