Digital camera reviews of Zune 80 GB Digital Media Player (Black)
Digital camera Review: Atleast its not an ipod...
Summary: 3 Stars
The good: Plays music, sounds great, looks great, not an iPod.
The bad: Zune software too simplified, no control over your music organization other than manually editing the tags. The touch pad is annoying; since it does not have a separate select button, you can end up skipping, rewinding or moving in menus instead of just selecting what you want.
Digital camera Review: Awesome Media Player
Summary: 5 Stars
I imagine I will get a lot of un-helpful votes from the music stealers and cult of ipod fanatics (lol) but...
I bought my Zune a couple of months ago and have used it extensively during that time. I have watched lots of movies, hundreds of podcasts, I have about 10K photos on it and about 11K songs. We listen to it for 12 hours a night at work 6 days a week.
I have had no issues with the player at all. It sounds great. Videos are sharp and clear and nice to watch on the large screen. The in the ear phones sound terrific (albeit they suffer a bit from microphonics). The battery lasts all night at work for music and will easily last for a full length movie or two.
I also have the Zune Pass and I think that it is great and is going to be the wave fo the future (subsciption services will be anyway). Having access to millions of songs...LEGALLY...what a deal. I will be buying the wife and oldest son a Zune soon and the Pass will work on their players as well as my player and on 3 computers. What a deal!

I got the zune the other day,and it is definitely the best media player I have ever owned. People are right,though,the software isn't the best,but it's better than Itunes.Plus,once you get used to it,it's really easy. I'm so glad I bought this overall.Digital camera Review: Awesome buy

I love my new Zune 80GB. I got it right before Christmas and work diligently for 4 days straightening out my mp3's so that they would be able to fully use the features of my Zune. I love all of the features from wireless syncing to being able to see the art work for the songs I have downloaded on to it. I would say this is the best buy of this type and Amazon beat the prices of all the stores I priced (even with shipping).Digital camera Review: Awesome! perfect for a teenage music lover like me.

Well, Ive owned a 30gb ipod video, and my dad owns a 80 gb classic. But now that i own this zune, i will never go back. Im 18 and have about 60gb of music, so i was looking to upgrade me 30, but i didnt really like the 80classic my dad had, so i looked elsewhere.
Apperence/feel: I was very surprised on how solid this thing felt, the glass screen, the sturdy back. Everything looks sleek and well built. The only gripe i have about it is that the top wireless piece feels a little loose, but that could just be mine.
Interface: The whole user interface is great. its easy to learn, and works very well.
Battery life: The battery life is relitivly low in comparison to the ipod classic, averaging at about 20 hours for music and about 4 for videos.
Comparison: Well, with just about everything, the zune does out-do the ipod, the look, feel, and overall performance truely is a unique experience. The one thing i will give apple, is that the marketplace of itunes does still kick the crap out of the zune marketplace, though i will admitt, the zune market is quickly adding more podcasts and such, so that is a good thing to see and hopefully it will soon be as versatile as itunes.
I think this media player is superior to apple ipod, though it still has room to improve. honestly i give this product a 4.5/5 but ill give it the benefit. highly recomend
