Microsoft - Zune (16 GB) Media Player Review

I heard about Zune's last fall from a family member who was looking into getting one. I researched it and found the features interesting. I received a Zune for Christmas as a gift, not really knowing what to expect. I had an iPod that was only 2 years old (which was my first MP3 player) and was only familiar with what an iPod had to offer.

Within an hour of opening up and playing around with my Zune I was hooked. I love all of the features and the easy interface of the Zune software/Marketplace. The Zune has an FM radio on it and if you live in an area that has advance tuning capabilities (shows song names on the radio), then you can "add [a] song to your cart" and download it later when you hook it up to your PC. What a great way to discover new music! Another great feature of the Zune is the wireless capabilities. If you have a wireless network at home then you can wirelessly sync your Zune with your PC. You can also buy and download music right on your Zune (wirelessly) without having to hook up to your PC. Share music with friends (who have a Zune) wirelessly too. If you have an XBOX 360 there are some features that can be used with it as well. The screen is bright and colorful. You can add your own pictures to your Zune and use one as your background. Watch videos, play games, or listen to audiobooks. Zune also offers a Zune Pass for $17/month. You can download unlimited songs and keep 10 (every month you get 10 more to keep). The Zune does it all and more. Love it!
