 Can MS be arrested for false advertising? October 18, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Gawd, what a POS!
The first one was DOA.Took it back-the volume controls(?) made static noise on the new one-The next one worked for 2 weeks then just died-MS you have billions how can you create such cheap cr*p? Are they assembled by chimps in China?
I was annoyed by my iPods ergonomics, but that is heaven compared to this junk
Also kind of embarrassing when people one after another remark "You have a WHAT?-Whats a Zoon?-Never heard of 'em"
 Great Music Player....until it breaks! October 17, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I received this MP3 player as a gift from my brother and mom last Christmas and was overly thrilled! I wasn't expecting to get it, ya know? It was on my wish list but I thought it was an unrealistic request. I loved this thing! It was cool to have all my music on it, at least until near the end where I got close to maxing it out. This, along with the firmware 3.0 software, or maybe my wall outlet, or possibly cheap hardware started my problems. First off, it started by acting really sluggish. I thought, well Microsoft just released another Zune so maybe they also released an update to fix the slower 2.5 firmware. It solved it for a while. It then crashed more often. Recharged the player from the bottom up. Does it again. Now, I can't get tracks to play or anything. Wow! Not even to this Christmas and its dead! Its dead!!! Unbelievable! My brother got a 120GB Zune two weeks ago and died the next day. He traded it in to Best Buy for an Ipod Touch. He's happy and I'm broken hearted. Two things my experience has taught me. Don't buy any hardware from microsoft and if you do, get a warranty 2 years or better not from Microsoft but from a local store where you can trade this piece of garbage for something worthwhile like an Ipod! Or....go back to Cd players is all I can say. Update!!! It is still alive as of November 2! but I do not know how long. I'm thinking oh no, now I can't replace this thing. I will admit, it must have a brain inside it because like herbie, it has a mind of its own.
DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR MONEY October 15, 2008

Everything about Zune sucks - so please don't waste your money! The device is flawed, the software sucks, and the social is a joke! Save yourself a lot of frustration and steer clear of Zune.

How is this possibly $549... is that a typo or somthing? Two weeks ago it was less than $280 brand new.
 Zune Opinion - 6 months in October 11, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had my Zune for about 6 months now, and it has fast become a valuable and entertaining part of my tech. I was previously attracted to the alternative the Zune gave to the iPod, as the items were previously pretty similar.
However, now that the Zune 3.0 software has been released, it's versatility has increased dramatically. Things such as the Channels, which provide you with a list of songs each week that conform to a theme of your choosing. The Pics section, which provides suggestions for you based on your current listening habits, is a great way to explore new music. I'm not using the buy from FM (a feature which tells you what song and arist you are listening to on the radio, and gives you the option to buy it) or the Zune Marketplace (which allows you to buy songs over a wifi connection and instantly download them), but I can see how they would be useful to others.
But the killer app that compliments all these features is the Zune Pass, which for a monthly fee allows you to download as many songs as you like. This makes finding and trying new music interesting, fun and legal.
I find it amazing how much this device has changed since I bought it, both on the Zune hardware side, and the software side. If they continue to expand this versatility I think I will be owning my Zune for a long time to come.
I'd heartily recommend the Zune to anyone wanting to expand their music collection and expose themselves to new artists and styles. If that's you, then the Zune is your device.
