Microsoft - Zune (All Models) Media Player Review Summary

If you’re looking for an alternative to the Apple iPod, then you might consider the Microsoft Zune media player. The Microsoft Zune has a larger screen than an iPod and Zune owners - especially those fond of watching videos and movies or showing off their pictures - love both features. "The Zune is easy to use and has good battery life," says one reviewer. The Zune is available in many sizes; it can store as few as 1000 songs or as many as 30,000 - plus video and pictures. That's a lot of portable entertainment! The Microsoft Zune is "way better than an iPod," according to the community. Read more Zune reviews and compare them to the other MP3 Players too.

My husband gave me the 4GB Zune last Christmas.  This is my third MP3 player.  My first was an i-pod which broke down repeatedly.  I sent it for repair 4 times.  The problem kept happening and Apple would not resolve the issue. 

My second MP3 was a SanDisk.  I really loved this one, but it was confiscated by my son.

So now I have the Zune 4GB in red.  I am so happy with the Zune.  I have not had one problem with it.  The 4GB is capable of holding 1000 songs, can hold pics or video.  I love that fact that it is wi-fi so I don't need to hook up to my computer because my home system is wireless....

Microsoft's Zune is an amazing product. I myself have the 30 gb version, and I love the sharing capabilities. I love the updates released yesterday for the software, so now my zune can have a clock. The color I got is black. All i would reccomend is getting a screen protector and a sleeve for the Zune.

<update>

After the Great Zune Crisis of 08 (in which ALL the 30gb zunes simultaneously froze up within the entire US) you would think i had lost my faith in Microsoft, but my zune restarted itself and has since been a loyal friend. (: I quite enjoy the huge screen and storage capability, and the...

This was an awesome mp3 player, I loved it a lot. I named mine Quantasia just because. I used to love iPods, but once I had used my Zune, I couldn't get over the bulkiness of the iPod. But why do I say "was"? I lost mine. And now I can't find it. Sort of sucks, huh?

  My son got a Zune for his birthday last year, he researched it and picked a Zune over an IPOD!  It charges on his computer and the battery life is awesome.  He downloads songs on a Zune website from microsoft and then he can burn CD's, he has made me a few mixed CD's.  He can also watch videos, and series on it as well.  It has a big touch screen, which he finds very easy to use.  His is actually a special edition "Gears of War" Zune.  He earns  an amount of microsoft points each month, then he can go to the website to purchase music, video, backgrounds, and more.  He can also play games... review »

I LOVE my Zune!!! Its so much better than ipod!!! Zune lets you use practicly any music company to put music on your Zune. It is so practical. I can buy a cd at walmart, rip it on to my computer and sync it to my Zune. Its as easy as snaping your fingers. Well what if you don't want to buy a whole cd. You can purchace music from literaly anywhere. My favorites are walmart and Amazon. If you don't want to do that, you can purchess a Zune card for $15 or $25. With that you can buy music, tv shows, and now movies. I've had my zune for almost 3 years and its still goin strong. Another good thing...

What an awesome companion!  I travel a lot and music is important to me.  There's nothing I can't stand more than arriving in another state where I don't know the local music stations.  Even worse is driving too far from home and having the radio stations fade on me.  Now that I have my Zune, I simply plug it in, hitch to a radio station and I'm enjoying all my favorite music without static or commercials that mean nothing to me.  I dated a DJ, so all those cd's are loaded up and I can't believe how much music this things holds!  Works FANTASTIC as a home system as well.  Great sound! ...

compact and easy to use. battery life is solid. Desktop software is much better than Windows Media player and I like it better than itunes. I don't download much content from the Zune software site. I also don't use wireless feature much at all.

Only negative I would say is that the number of accessories is limited. I only found one suitable armband for taking the Zune to the gym.

This is a great MP3 player better than the IPOD, as it has FM transmitter in it.  It holds way more songs than I could ever put on it, and is extremely small and sleak.  My one pet peave with it is that they shrunk the Zune and also shrunk the size of the screen. I really prefer to have a larger screen, other than that I love it.
