Amazon.com Product Description
Entertainment and sharing to go. That's the Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player. The Zune plays music and videos, displays images, and unlike the iPod, it even receives FM radio so you can stay on top of local news or sports. Designed around the principles of sharing, discovery, and community, Zune connects people and empowers them with the tools needed to share entertainment experiences. The Zune experience is centered around connection--connection to your library, friends, community, and other Zunes. It's powered by software that allows users to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace.



The Zune lets you share music and pictures with other Zune users in the area.


The controls are designed to be familiar and easy to use so you can jump right in and start having fun. View larger.


Zune software can find compatible music files on your PC and copy them to your Zune device.


Wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing lets you share your favorite tracks and photos.


Browse more than 100,000 artist bios and hundreds of playlists in the Zune Marketplace.
The Zune is a 30 GB digital media player, but there's a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures, or your own home-grown tunes directly from Zune to Zune (within 30 feet). You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you love, and easily buy them the next time you sync up--its like test-driving songs before you purchase an album.

The Zune's navigation is simple and intuitive with a scroll wheel and basic buttons, and the big, bright screen makes it easy to browse music and show off your favorite pictures and videos. This attractive, smart device stores up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video. Get creative. Make playlists on the go and watch slide shows while you're listening. And if you're watching video on the Zune, you'll be pleased with the landscape mode that allows you to get the most out of the vivid display.

Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Don't forget the primary principle of the Zune: sharing. With this device in hand you're holding an opportunity to share music and photos wirelessly from one Zune to another. Send your favorite tracks or images to your friends, or just about anyone with a Zune that's within your reach.

Whether you're walking down the street, in a room with a bunch of friends, at a concert, at the airport, or on the bus, you can whip out your Zune and see all the other Zune devices that surround you. In the blink of an eye you're connected to your best friend and you can send over your band's newest song. Another friend might get the hilarious podcast your little brother made at school, plus that hot new song you just downloaded from the Zune Marketplace. And, of course, there's all the good stuff that your friends want to send back your way. The connections are made and the Zune community grows.

Best of all, the song you sent (or received) isn't a short 30-second preview--it's the whole song. Your friend can sample the song up to three times in three days, flag it on their device and then buy it from the Zune Marketplace. You can send pictures, too. If you loved the photo of your dog at the park and you just have to share it with your buddies, shoot it off to whoever is around. And any pictures that are sent or received can be kept and viewed indefinitely.

Sometimes you don't want to be noticed, and the Zune allows you to fly under the radar. All you need to do is turn the wireless function off, or adjust the privacy settings to control whether people can see you are online. And if you want to keep your Zune private while studying in the library or reading the newspaper on the bus, you can also block Zune devices in wireless range from sending you a song.

Zune Marketplace
Zune makes it easy to find music you love--whether it's songs in your existing library or new music from the Zune Marketplace. You can easily import your existing music, pictures, and videos in many popular formats from your PC and browse millions of songs at the Zune Marketplace where you can purchase individual tracks or buy a Zune Pass subscription to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee. Plus, you can apply Microsoft Points towards the purchase of music so you can buy online without a credit card for added security. At the Zune Marketplace you can read over 100,000 artist biographies and features from leading magazines including XLR8R, NME, and FADED, and you'll have easy access to Billboard Charts, including Billboard 200, Hot 100 Songs, and more. You'll even be able to browse what people in the Zune community are listening to by checking out the Zune Charts.

Pre-Loaded Content
Zune is a vehicle to explore new sounds and share entertainment experiences. With that in mind, the Zune comes pre-loaded with a variety of songs and videos from hot, new artists, as well as some fun films and images. With something for everyone, the pre-loaded Zune content may help you discover your new favorite band, but at the very least you'll have some entertainment at your fingertips so you can start connecting and sharing. Zune pre-loaded content includes loads of audio tracks, music videos, and film shorts, plus 12 classic rock posters from "Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion."

5 out of 5 stars Loving It!!   August 29, 2008
I've had my Zune for about 2 months now and I absolutely love it. My iPod owning friends are jelous and I love how pretty the entire experience of listening to stuff on the Zune is. I love album art so I love that its featured nicely on the Zune now playing screen, not just a tiny thumbnail like most mp3 players. The radio feature is great for those days when you can't seem to find anything you want to listen to. I haven't used the video feature much yet but from watching the preloaded ones it seems great too. My only complaint is that my hundred or so songs that I had downloaded with Yahoo Music won't work on the Zune, but thats the fault of Yahoo more than the makers of the Zune (theres a reason Yahoo's music store is gone now)

overall I HIGHLY recommend it!!!



4 out of 5 stars 1st-gen 30GB Zune--Good   August 29, 2008
The Microsoft Zune is no iPod-killer. However, I greatly prefer the Zune over the iPod. As some have previously stated, it is doubtful that many iPod/iTunes users will want to make the switch to Zune, if any. The iTunes experience is solid, and there is not much that the Zune software can improve on over iTunes. The iPod itself offers (for most users) no reasons to switch to Zune. All this being said, I highly recommend the Zune as an option for anyone new to mp3 devices.

Pros:
>Wireless functionality: wireless syncing, wireless transfer between Zune devices
>Large screen
>FM Radio
>Very simple interface on the device itself
>Very simple setup of options in the Zune software; simple navigation
>Solid construction/materials: does not feel cheap--very sturdy; does not scratch/smudge easily
>Premium-quality accessories
>Great sound quality
>Picture quality/playback of photos and videos is top quality
>Device is operated by button presses--no scroll wheel (pro for me, con for others)

Cons:
>Buttons require a bit of force to press
>Device is operated by button presses--no scroll wheel (pro for me, con for others)
>Music is purchased with 'Microsoft Points,' which you must purchase--an unnecessary step
>Zune device can not be used as external hard drive
>Videos from Zune Marketplace work flawlessly; videos from other sources can require a lot of work to convert and function
>Initial installation of Zune software can be a nightmare; look on the Zune website for 'Zune Setup Package' for an easier time
>Accessories are pricy; can be hard to find
>"Bulky": much thicker than an iPod (I like this, but it is hard to make it disappear into one's pocket)

Overall, I would not recommend the Zune to someone already familiar and happy with the iPod. However, I would recommend the Zune to someone who is unsure and new to high-end mp3 players. The Zune is solid, sturdy, durable, easy to use, and its numerous features work very well.



5 out of 5 stars No problem with Zune   August 28, 2008
I have no problem with my Zune. Must of the complains are coming from things that can be solved, but the user don't know how to do It. If you turn off your Zune, and the next time you turn It on, and you want to continue playing the last playlist and the last song, you only have to use and push the "play" button 2 times. It begins where you left It.
I have a very good organization of my folders, I connect It to my TV (even though the quality of the video is not the best for TV), etc....
I am happy with my Zune....



5 out of 5 stars Worth Every Penny   August 26, 2008
This player is awesome . It was able to fit my entire library of music picture, and about 15 DVD's and still has room . I did upgrade to a better set of ear buds though . It's wireless link is easy to set up and the compatability with the XBOX 360 is a great fit for me . Highly recommend over IPOD .


5 out of 5 stars I love my Zune   August 25, 2008
I ordered the brown 30gb zune while stationed in Iraq. It came through the military mail system without a hitch, I believe largly in part to the label on the shipping container that said "computer parts". Very thoughtfull of the seller, if it had said MP3 player I would have never recieved it lol.
I loaded it up from my laptop with video clips, picture slide shows and thousands of songs, arranged playlist, the works. Used it everyday for hours, and even accidently closed it in an armored Hmmwv door resulting in a dent, not a crack. I destroyed the headphones it shipped with but no biggie.
The battery life is very good, 8-10 hours maybe off and on, charge time from my laptop usb port was super fast. No problems with the software or any user interface complexities. Now I'm home and lost the usb cord to it but ordered a new one and a bunch of other accesories, I use my zune daily at work while running around the site.
