User Reviews: Microsoft Zune Brown
Top Dog in MP3 players
Pros: WyFi connectivity with other Zones, FM Radio, Watching my videos on my big screen TV.
Cons: 30 Geg unit is to small. Down loading music, videos, podcasts, movies and the like is infectious. 30 Geg is not enough.
My 30 Geg Zune, is a murk when compared to the new 120 Geg Zune.
But that 30 Geg murk makes the ipod obsolete in the world of MP3 players. When I first saw my Zune, 3 years ago, I could not beleive that anyone in their right mined could buy an ipod over the Zune. But I digress, everywhere you look the ipod is there. It does have a great number of after markit supplyers which is a plus. But it lacks versatility. Plus when i buy music from the Zune site, its mine.Was this review helpful? Yes - Nonice Zune MP3 Player

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoDo NOT Buy This Device - Worst Customer Service
Pros: None
Cons: Worst customer service experience ever!
My 18 year old daughter bought the 30GB Pink Zune and after a year the hard drive stopped working. It was still under Warranty and Customer Support sent me a box and shipping label to have it repaired. Sent the device in and when they received it the LCD screen was cracked. They refused to repair the device and denied fault for the damage saying because the box was not damaged the device could NOT have been damaged during shipping, basically calling me a Liar!!!
All levels of customer support were rude and unwilling to do anything about it. The worst customer service experience I have ever had.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoZune
Pros: Awesome Features
Cons: Too big and thick (can barely fit in your pocket)
I own an 30 brown Zune I got on black fiday I had always wanted a Zune until the new Ipods came out but then I realized that the zune compared to some Ipods (not including the touch and iphone) it would kick some but I am 10 years old and think that the Zune is pretty cool except that the size coul be smaller and thinner.

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoBy the POWER of ZUNE
Pros: Download, SYNC & GO!!
Cons: Never thought a "BROWN" MP3 could be so cool
I'm not a I-Pod Ban wagon type of person. Started with a Dell JukeBox 20G, Progressive problems with it locking up, screen went out, left me with no visual only color. So I welcomed it to a concrete wall at high speed. Bought the ZUNE 30G Dudu Brown, got it at a steal though $89.99 AMAZON.com baby! IMPRESSED IMMEDATELY. I loaded it up and was off to audio & video BLISS! Getting music onto this is a snap. Great color screen, all your album covers, artist list, just like a MTV video snapshot. CPU charges this MP3 so no additional plugs. I have no need for videos yet so 30G is plenty room for my musical taste.
Thanks Microsoft!Was this review helpful? Yes - NoAwesome but not so much for those used to Ipod
Pros: Screen size, Sound quality for MP3's, Customized background, Over all style and design.
Cons: SLIGHT static on radio at times, Using device with software is a little difficult at first.
For those who are anti-ipod (which I am) this is one of the best MP3 players out there for you. I have been looking for a new MP3 player for the past two months and I have been interested in the Zune since it came out. For the past 2 weeks I have been researching the Zune to see if it was worth the trouble and for the most part I heard it was really good but there had been a few reviews that left me concerned. The biggest problem I heard was in concern to the software not being user friendly and confusing. At first I agreed with this but after ten minutes of poking around I figured it out but the key thing is to be patient because the software doesn't have your typical "spoon-fed" tutorial that tells you every single button to press and link to click (if you use common sense then you should be fine). The best thing to do is to install the software but do not plug in the device untill you adjust the software's settings to NOT auto-sync so you can just pick and choose what music to add (that's just a matter of draging and dropping the music/video/picture to the device symbol at the bottom left corner). I really like the video quality, images and videos are really crisp and vibrant. The over all design is really nice, simple yet chic. I really enjoy the fact that you can set your background to any of your pictures on the device. I think it's an understated feature that adds a lot to the personalization of the Zune. Lastly I have found that sometimes I will pick up a little background static in the radio feature, not loud enough to drown out the music and it's really only noticeable if you have the volume up pretty loud. Over all though I think that this is an awesome device and would recommend it to anyone except maybe those who are accustomed to Ipods (those are the people who generally don't like it so I've notticed). Also I would recommend that you upgrade the earbuds to the premium kind, they sound great and even though they are not noise-canceling they are the closest I have come to it.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoNot Just Like iPod
Pros: large screen, good sound, plenty of storage
Cons: Zune Marketplace can be confusing and slow and you don't want to take it running
I worked in Retail Electronics and was not impressed with the iPod. I was happy with my little MP3 player that held 120 songs as I mostly use mine for running.
When the Zune came out I quickly dismissed it as another item that was a status symbol thing. The Microsoft Rep showed me what I had misjudged. It was a handy little gem that was not right for running, but was perfect for lots of other things.
My husband bought one on my advice and shortly after I purchased my own. I had to spend a week in the hospital and I kept it with me at all times. I had downloaded movies and music on it and it kept me entertained while I waited to leave.
I certainly would not recommend to use this when running as it has moving parts that can easily be damaged, but I use it everywhere else, anytime I have to kill some time.Was this review helpful? Yes - Nohi

Pros: Huge Beautiful Horizontal Screen When Watching Movies. Unique MP3 Player That Comes In Many Cool Colors. Durable. Fingerprintless surface. Good Battery Life. FM Radio Built-In. Has Wi-Fi To Search Other Zunes
Cons: CANNOT USE AS A HARDRIVE, Bulky And Chunky, NOT User-Friendly Software. Long Downloading Time For Big Files. Wi-Fi Function Is Limited Only To Use By Finding Other Zune-Users
I've had my Zune for 6 months now and the biggest problem with this MP3 player is the software, it's horrible. I've had a 20GB Ipod and it was the easiest thing to use in the world, software and control wise. Getting the Zune and the PC to work together is one awkward task. Especially if there are some songs that you want excluded from your library. The software really takes out the fun of having a MP3 player because you'll be spending most of your time trying to work around the software instead of the software trying to work around you. The Zune software reads a user's library automatically and memorizes it on its own zune software and to be able to add songs you must keep everything on your computer forever.
First, having to add songs to the Zune is only done through playlist or folders and once you add it to the Zune it's annoying to add more because if you have deleted those songs from your computer then your out of luck with putting them back on your Zune with the new
song.
Also, I had a really hard time with certain album art that was showing up on the wrong songs, so I had to delete all the songs that gave me trouble and then recopy them from the CD and re-tag the song files with the right pictures so they would show up properly.
Then, In the beginning I sooner or later figured out how to work around all of the annoying problems of Auto Syncing with my Zune and my PC and all the setting were dead on right for me. I downloaded a big update and it reset my Zune so I lost everything and I had to start all the way from the beginning with my song playlist and
folder...that sucked bad!
The Zune is pretty new but I was able to buy a wall charger, car charger and it used an aftermarket connection cable from the Zune to the PC and once I started using the PC cable it always started reading my Zune as a guest to my PC and then for me to start using the cord I had to delete everything and re-sync my Zune with my PC using the new cord.
Here's a big one with me. My 20GB Ipod didn't have video or a color screen but I was able to use it as a portable hardrive and always use to transfer data from me and my friends computer but the Zune will NOT let you do that at all. That was a VERY big dissappointment.
Transfering Movies to the Zune takes forever, for example a 300MB MP4 file will take about 30 - 45 minutes. I've seen a Video Ipod transfer the same data in almost 2-3 minutes.
The last thing, is that when I had my 20gb Ipod hooked up to my PC I was able to play my music from my Ipod through my PC but now when I hook up the Zune to the computer, that is completely impossible to do. I guess that happens because the Zune software expects you to keep every song that has been downloaded/
sync'ed to your Zune on your computer.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoDear friends
