- Pros: Have had the 80gb Zune for over 8 months now- and it is awesome. Video playback is great, Audio is top-notch, and I've yet to find any drawback to the device itself. Microsoft even gives out three free music tracks a week from it's store to registered owners- while I can't say I have liked every track that's been offered I have downloaded 5 or 6 of the offered tracks. Awesome MP3 player. Also, included headset, while I'm personally not a fan of in-ear headphones, are top-notch!
- Cons: None related to the player that I know of. I don't personally like being forced to use device-specific software, preferring the more old-fashioned mp3 players where you just loaded the mp3's into the device, but that's no longer an option, and the zune software once you familiarize yourself with it is not bad and make for a nice backup music/video player.
- Other Thoughts: Awesome device. Use it everyday at work to help drown out the other people in the office while I'm trying to concentrate. Actually had a couple of people looking into buying it after seeing it in action. Great buy!
Best of the best
- Pros: This thing is fantastic. Media management is just a simple drag and drop. The video it crisp and clear as well as the audio. Media support already exists in windows (provided you have proper codecs which you would have anyway if you using the media). Video conversion with movie maker is simple just save as a mobile media device and MM takes care of the rest. The usually album/artist/song titles are assigned flawlessly so far and can also be edited easily under file properties in windows.
- Cons: Only con is it didn't come out sooner.
- Other Thoughts: I'm an IT guy and I keep my headphones on more than half the day and this is by far the best mp3 player I've found. DVDFab pro/platinum is a great program for converting dvd to digital.
Not as good as I expected
- Pros: Large hard drive. Decent way to purchase music. Battery life is good. Large Screen. TV out (although, it doesn't come with the wires for this option). not an ipod.
- Cons: Ghosting on screen, lack of support and information (it supports (or encodes) additional types of files than advertised but I can't find documentation listing them. Audio sounds somewhat tinny with their earphones unless their plugged in far enough, this could be uncomfortable- luckily MS included adpaters, but they're really hard to change.
- Other Thoughts: Some things seem to be missing from the firmware: Ability to play videos similar to audio (you have to chose a new video manually after each one). Ability to chose when it goes from landscape to portrait. Lacks customization options
And The software could use the ability to change file names easily
