I've been thinking about getting one, and I wanted to hear a few opinions on it. _________________ If we were given just one word of information in our entire history, how we'd treasure it!

I know my Zen Vision: M is smaller(but fatter), and does all the same things. It's also supposed to be able to be updated, that is, updated in its p2p software 'n stuff. I just wouldn't buy it right now 'cause it's a new piece of technology, and the company (I think Microsoft, actually) is trying a lot of new things with it. Buy it after they've already got the updates and you've heard about where it can break 'n stuff. _________________

Plus it's not supported by M$'s new Vista OS (and per M$ it has no intention). You are better of staying with the Zen, Iriver's, or the iPoo.. _________________ Pred threw a bunker party.

As well as for purchasing it, and all it's goodies... I have an Iriver H10 5GB player. Had it for 3 years now w/o any problems. The Other Half , she has the 20GB version. Again no problems. Too bad they are no longer produced. You can find refurb's on eBay. I picked the H10 20GB player for my daughter for under $150US. _________________ Pred threw a bunker party. Was in good spirits.

Just be sure to get a cover for it, and your fine (she dropped it and the screen got scratched). Same features as the iPod, Zune, Zen products. _________________

The quality sucks, so that's why I'm looking around for good MP3s or other gadgets. _________________ If we were given just one word of information in our entire history, how we'd treasure it!

I remember when I downloaded iTunes because a friend asked me to, and it said that I had 7.6 days worth of music on my computer. _________________ If we were given just one word of information in our entire history, how we'd treasure it!

Quote: In terms of audio formats, Zune supports MP3, WMA and AAC. Zune supports Microsoft's WMV movie format, and Zune software will transcode MPEG4 and H.264 video to synchronize to the device. The Zune can connect to a Microsoft Xbox 360, giving users the ability to stream music, videos, and pictures via USB. Windows based Zune Software can also stream music, videos, and pictures to Xbox 360 via a home network. There's one shitty downside... Quote: A key differentiator between Zune and competing players is Zune-to-Zune Wi-Fi communication. This allows limited sharing of songs, recordings, playlists and pictures with other Zunes. A track received from another Zune can be played for up to three days or three plays, whichever comes first, after which it expires unless purchased or downloaded via the Zune Marketplace online. Recipients cannot re-send music or audio files that they have received via the sharing feature. Not all songs are eligible for sharing – record companies can flag songs from the Zune Marketplace as "non-distributable". _________________ If we were given just one word of information in our entire history, how we'd treasure it!
