I've pretty much made up my mind on the Zune HD, I played with a 2G iPod Touch and looked at a bunch of apps on iTunes. I really dont care for apps anymore(which the Zune may have apps also). I just want it to play music and get on the internet, and the HD has a HD radio which is really nice.

I would say thats a bad choice but by what you said the zune is better for you. I love my touch just because I love apps. The zune's new month pack where you can get unlimted songs or whatever is awesome I must say.  8-)

As I bring my Zune to work when I work on planes, it holds up well and apps are not really needed on a MP3/video player. The Zune is pretty robust too.

Only thing is wish is that the screen would tilt like on the iPOD, when you are looking at videos, instead of just the default setting, but it is a small price price to pay, for it to be hit on the screen with an aircraft tire and not brake the screen.

Well, just found out that you can use Rhapsody on the iPod. I may be switching pretty soon. ;)

Funny that this has come up, as i'm considering getting a new MP3 player also. I don't like iPods, so i've been considering the Zune.

But i'm curious. Does it require its own software like the iPod to transfer the music over, or do you open it up like an external drive with explorer and simply drag your music onto it?


Yes, the Zune has its own program for music management. :)



Pity. The one thing I really like about my old Sansa is that I can plug it into any computer, and the computer sees it as an external drive, allowing me to drag my music over in Windows Explorer. No complicated software required.... 8-)



I just got a 4Gb Sansa, and that is by far my favorite feature.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

It gets treated just like a thumb-drive, and charges while you're doing it. 8-)

I just got the Zune HD, it is pretty sweet, the touch screen is very responsive, but not overly. And the clarity on the scream is amazing. As soon as I go through the book, I can see how to use the HD Radio, and set my back ground pic again, as it has less buttons then before.

Tell us more about it. Can you manage your music  library and playlists on the Zune without a computer?

You mean as far as deleting songs, and arranging them in
