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 even need a computer to sync music to it if you have a zune pass.....



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

That's a paid service. The guy hates to sync and his opinion on the matter is obvious, that's not laziness.

Other than a paid service such as that, how exactly can you get music to a player without "syncing" it???  I'm really confused...dragging all the music into a folder that constitutes the mp3 hardrive or something along those lines is virtually the exact same thing as syncing.  It isn't like you can just go poof, and all your songs you want on the player are instantly there...

The best thing about WP7 is the Zune integration, everything else feels bare and boring.

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.

I thought the Zune died a while ago, hadn't heard a thing about it since like 2009

I'd prefer to havee the option, like some of the creative players. You can drag and drop in explorer or use WMP to do playlists and things.
