Digital camera reviews of Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Black)
Digital camera Review: Don't do it
Summary: 2 Stars
Think again before you buy a Zune. Before you do, go look in any store and see how few accessories there are for it compared to Ipods and other players. If you want to plug it into a stereo or receiver, the only way to do it is with the universal MP3 jack. Very few manufactuers have cradles compatible with the Zune. Other than very few accessories and compatible products available, the player itself is all right.
The biggest problem is with the Zune software. The word "Zune" must be latin for "bug" because the software has a lot of them. You would think that with it being a Microsoft product, they could come up wiht a good support software or at least build on the (very good) Windows Media Player. It didn't happen. They make you use the Zune software, which is designed to entice you to buy stuff from their very limited selection of music, but not much else. I have a good-sized collection of songs and I subscribe to several podcasts. The Zune software on my XP machine shuts down or encounters a problem and has to rebuild the database typically about every two weeks. When that happens, you have to go in and resubscribe to your podcasts and reset your sync options. Sometimes you have to go to the esoteric help and Windows Update sites to manually download and install patches. Sometimes you have to run the same patch more than once. Their latest issue is a problem with the "Windows.NET framework", whatever that is.
I own two 30GB Zunes. I bought one for myself and one for my wife at about the same time. When I finally get fed up with them and throw them out of the car window, I will buy Sansas or Ipods. The Sansas will sync with Windows Media Player.

Summary: 5 Stars
At first i was a little bit dissapointed, but after get into the software, finding a video converter software, and downloading the latest upgrade (version 3 i guess), the Zune rocks. MP3, Video Files, FM tuner, Pictures. An with the latest version you're able to connect to a wireless network and browse music previews. GAMES,Clock. Theres nothing more i can wish.
