Zune 80: Personal Reviews and Recommendations

[Pampered Laura]

Hubby and I are buying MP3 players, and we're looking at getting each of us the Zune 80. Do any of you have a Zune?

If you have one, do you like the subscription service / music marketplace?
How about the speaker docks - what kind do you have?
Car adapter - do you have one? What kind do you have if so?

I'd like to go buy one today, but keep hemming and hawwing!

What's a Zune?

I've never heard of it.

Oh sorry - it's Microsoft's version of the Ipod.

I like apple best for those kinds of things because I personally feel they are superior. JMHO So I'm the wrong person to ask. I really should be getting paid by Steve Jobs for all the endorcing I do on his company's behalf!

I would LOVE one, but I just spent a pretty penny on my new Blackberry.

I'm so afraid of any microsoft product!!!! To me, they just have CRASH written all over them! I finally got a Mac and what's funny is that my microsoft word and excel are the only programs that I use that are unpredictable... go figure!But back to your post... I'd go with an ipod hands down. I've also heard sandisks are also decent.

Okay, well I bought Zunes... I hope they're good. I read reviews all afternoon, and the Zune beat the IPOD in every aspect. My gym has TV's that you can listen to if you have an FM tuner, so the Zune works well for that, too...
I got my husband a black one, and myself a red one. The red one is the exact same color of my Blackberry Curve. lol

Yes, it comes just before Zuly and five months after Zanuary.

My husband loves his Zune. He uses it daily and loves the subscription. Such a huge money saver too.... not the $1.99 per song crap that others charge you! You can download unlimited song and whole cd's... as many as you want for like $16/month. And the variety is fantastic!!! Good choice!!!! You can also find lots of accessories on Ebay for a fraction of the cost at stores!

I just bought one for DH for fathers day. So far he's liking it (he hasn't left the pc since yesterday!) Matter of fact thats what he doing as I type too.
I also chose it for the radio option.
