Zune 80 GB Digital Media Player (Black) Reviews
| 875 of 947 people found the following review helpful  Outstanding., This review is from: Zune 80 GB Digital Media Player (Black) (Electronics) I've owned 5 different kinds of iPods, as well as the original Zune, and I must say, that this product is by far the best of the group. I spent the day trying to return my iPod Classic (80GB) so that I could get my hands on one of these---and I had to look just about everywhere in town to find one.Is this better than the iPod Classic? Undoubtedly. I can make a fair comparison, as I have been toying with the Classic for the last two weeks. I've had iPod Nanos (first and third generations), 3 iPod Videos (5G), and an iPod Classic (80GB). The iPod is a fine product line, but I had too many bad experiences with the 5G video to want to keep them. I heard that the Z80 came out so I went and bought that one instead. I'm going to spend most of my time here discussing how the Zune 80 compares to its predecessor, the Zune 30, as well as the iPod line--as it has set the standard for mp3 players for the last few years.

[Disclaimer]I work for Microsoft. I think I have been objective in this review--you can draw your own conclusions.[/Disclaimer] Also know that I do not work in the division that makes the Zune, so I have no insider information. Let's start with my likes and dislikes of the Zune 80: THE GOOD * Beautiful, bright, large, glass (not plastic) screen. The size (3.2") is so much better for viewing videos and pictures. * Size and weight (lighter than iPod Classic). * Capacity (80 GB). * Built-in Wi-Fi and associated wireless sync. * ZunePad. * UI (both of the device and the PC software). * FM radio. * Ability to rent music (allowing one to listen to whole songs before deciding whether to buy or not). * Build quality. * Customizable backgrounds. THE NEUTRAL * Wi-Fi sharing--if there...

That being written, I am pleasantly surprised by the Zune 80 gb player. I have owned hard-drive based MP3 players since 2003 when I bought my first one. I was recently using the 5G 60gb iPod and it needed replacing so I start researching players again. After a great deal of research, I bought the Zune but didn't open it right away. I waited a few days. That was a mistake. For a few days, I just used the free Zune software. I have read some reviews that the software is terrible. I initally agreed but after learning it, I realized I reacted in haste. Sometimes it is a bigger challenge to 'unlearn' other product's software. That was my case. Now I like its simplicity. I would recommend some improvements to it though but it is fine in a general sense. The player is quite good. The sound of the music, to me, is better than my iPod. I did a direct comparision listening to the exact same... Read more |
