Microsoft - Zune (30GB) Media Player — 

I purchased my Zune on sale at Target when it was insanely cheap for the 30GB and a car audio kit. The Zune integrated right into my audio folders on my computer which was great because I have used Media Player as the software to play and organize my music for years.  Everything transferred over without any hassle whatsoever.  I cannot say the same for the piece of junk iPod I also own.

The bad part about the Zune is the software - go figure.  Microsoft started out with a winner and then it went downhill.  Unfortunately, they decided that using the playlists that you already created in your Media Player and transferring them over to your Zune wasn't a good idea.  Well, they were dead wrong.  I have had to go and rebuild all of my playlists in the Zune software so that I would still maintain some level of continuity with my Media Player.  BAD CALL MICROSOFT!!

The car audio kit i.e. FM transmitter that came in the kit was junk really.  Not that any of them actually work they way they promote themselves, but since this one is attached to the Zune name, I'll let you know how crappy this one is too :)

All in all though... it's a good player.  Holds TONS of music and I also have 2 or 3 movies stored on there at a time for watching during my travels.  It does a really good job.
