I have one and it is a piece of crap. iPods are not better either. Mp3 Players that require you to use a software to put songs and videos into it are mediocre.

Yeah ok... Just cause you're lazy to sync your mp3 player its crap...gotcha.

Who do you think you are to call me lazy? You can't make changes to your Zune inventory from any computer, you hook up your Zune to another computer and it won't recognize it at all neither can you insert anything to it, the video formats are so limited. I have seen cheaper mp3 players that do better than these pieces of crap.

You don't know what you're talking about. You can sync the zune with any computer that has zune software installed. Doesn't have to be your own computer or account. The player will assume a guest relationship with the computer and whatever songs you want to transfer on to the zune you can.
The only complaint you can have is that they are still software based syncs and not pure drag and drop like portable hard drives. However Zune software and Itunes do a lot more than sync your devices. They sort songs, donwload artwork, download band bios...etc. So its a decent trade off.
If that is something you can't live with (having to use zune/itunes to sync) and you're willing to use second rate hardware and user interface (like the Archos devices) as well as lose those sorting/databse features only so you can have non software based plug and play...power to you.

It isn't like every computer has the Zune software. If a friend of yours brought you a CD or has some songs in his laptop you cannot put that stuff inside your Zune and play it on the go because you would have to download that software to his laptop.
My sister's ex used to have an mp3 player that allowed him to insert the device to any computer where it would appear as a Removable Disk to which you could put anything. It even played Avi videos and it cost less than $60.
If you prefer some fancy graphics of interfaces over features, connectivity and accesibility, well power to you. I need my players to play my songs and videos, not look cute.
