Microsoft - Zune (30GB) Media Player Review

I have to say that I got my 30g Zune as a gift, however, even if I had paid for it with my own hard earned cash I would feel the same way about it, which is to say that I love love love the thing.

Zune doesn't produce the 30g anymore, and I can't figure out why. It's the perfect size for me, I hardly have 30g worth of stuff, much less 80 or 120g. The 4, 8, and 16 are too small, so the 30 is just right.

Mine is white, and despite only having a case for the last 4 months or so, it looks excellent. Is not a stain magnet and cleans well with a soft cloth.

I have always used a screen protector, so the screen stays nice and unscratched as well.

I have had the 30g Zune since April, 2008 and have had no issues with it, or the Zune software. I do enjoy the Zune software better than iTunes, which I hated so much that I stopped using the iPod I had because it was so cumbersome and such a memory hog. Apparently I'm the only person on the planet that hates iTunes, so who knows.

I've watched videos a few times on the Zune---there are 3rd party programs you can use to convert the video to whatever format the zune uses. They are crisp and clear!

I use the zune daily at home, on the bus, while at work, and in the car. Battery life is just as good as it ever has been and I have not noticed a decrease in battery life since I've had it.
