[QUOTE=Milky;19373820]Zune HD + Zune Pass = unparalleled[/QUOTE]
100% agree. I owned a 30GB 1'st Gen Zune back in '08. Thing was a fucking brick, went through the wash and came out fine, dropped down steps fine. For Christmas '08 I got my Zune 120GB Black. It's an amazing Mp3 player, great sound, and the software is great, still a brick though. For Christmas this year I got a 16GB Black ZuneHD. It's amazing. I also got two months of Zune Pass. Which is awesome, especially when mixed with the software's SmartDJ feature, which is basically the iTune's Genius thing or whatever it's called.
This is the software.

You find the album, click on it, and then double click the song you want, it's not hard.
I hear the Zune Pass is a really good deal. Pay a monthy fee and get all the music you want, plus you get to keep a few songs too.
The only way I can get a Zune in Canada is through ebay or pay $300 on dealextreme.
If you're going to use it only for music/video: iPod/iTouch
If you're going to use it for music/video and would like to make calls/send messages: iPhone 2G/3G
If you're going to use it for above + Internet surfing, Apps, etc.: iPhone 3GS

I'm not a macfag. Those are just my two cents.

Oh well, I've only tried out the iPod and the iTouch at the store. The Zune HD isn't in stores over in Sweden Yet. I havn't seen it, anyways.
btw, with zune customize you can make the software look even better

Well I bought a 16gb one from newegg. Discuss
Should fit a couple of movies, should look sexy as hell on that OLED, etc.

How did you go about customising it? got a link?
[QUOTE=MisterM;19384339]How did you go about customising it? got a link?[/QUOTE]
oh shit I looked it up it only works for 3.11 software D: (I'm too lazy to update)
sorry bro (Assuming you're on 4.0 like pretty much everyone) mmmmm
I have the 3.11 installer, I wonder if that will still work or if it forces you to update during install. I'm sure there will be something soon, that skin was really just a background hack and inverting the text colors. You can try:
[url]http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/zune-hacks-mods/40297-zune-software-hacking-tutorial-partially-working-4-0-a.html[/url]
but the colors won't work so you can't do anything dark like me or else it will blend with the text.
try digging around in resource hacker

Zune has one of the easiest and fanciest interfaces for any MP3 player. It's flashy while being simple at the same time. The Smart DJ is also an amazing feature, it will play songs from the artist you choose aswell as a mix of other artists with similar styles, if you buy the Zune pass it will even download and play any song from it's massive library.

When compared to something like this.

It's not hard to choose.
So, you're going to try to tell me how good the Zune itself is by showing me the software on the computer?

Maybe because the software thats on the zune is essentially the same as it's PC counterpart. :downs:
It is also important when buying an MP3 player that it's PC software is as easy to use as the device.

Didn't a mod tell you to stop coming into threads saying "blah blah x is better than y", in a "y" thread?
Except this isn't a Zune thread. He's asking if it is good. It would be perfectly normal to post other recommendations.
Except, if you read carefully, which you can't, I never said the iPod was better.

You said things about the Zune Software, which is equal to what iTunes is to the iPod.

Me! PM me your Zune Profile name.
Oh, so mentioning it at all is horrible if I do it, but not anyone else?
What a great point. :downs:
[QUOTE=redBadger;19354117]The Zune HD is a very new product. The Store uses microsoft points so you can link it to your xbox account to get music with any leftover points you have.
I prefer Zune because of its simplicity and it does not use iTunes. Plus it has Audiosurf and a great Twitter app. The reason they have no good apps right now is because it is very new. But all the apps are free, which is a good plus side.
Music and Videos play very well on the Zune.[/QUOTE]
[i]A[/i] great twitter app. keyword. a. There are plenty of Twitter apps out there for ipod touches/iphones, and they're all great. Fluttr, Tweetie 2 (the best.), Twitterific..a bunch.
Simplicity? it's not much more simple
I mean a page of icons versus a scroll down of text, it's not much more simple
iTunes..I don't get why tons of people hate iTunes, it works perfectly fine for me.

Screenshot is a little outdated, don'tcha think?
As for the post above me, it's not very slow for me. :iiam:
Maybe because you're on the Windows version? Works fine for me, though, on OS X. Speaking of versions, the fact that there is no Zune HD software for OS X really pisses me off.

Yeah, well, most people on these forums are using Windows, and yes, Apple is too retarded to make a simple media managing program run well on Windows.
And your screenshot is still ugly compared to the Zune software.
