Microsoft zune 30 gb $100

July 9, June 18, May 27, May 25, Quite simply, the perfect MP3 player! May 15, April 5, January 6, This stores lots of info but it is not nearly as portable as the smaller flashed based version which I prefer.

Battery life is ok on audio, but is killed when running video which is expected. October 16, October 15, I have really loved my Zune from day one. It still works great for all types of media. September 6, August 24, August 18, I think these were unfairly clowned on. Sound quality is amazing, better than my iPhone 4.

Bulkier by todays standards and the screen has got dust under it. July 23, February 24, Though I always go through a fair spec to spec comparison before denying one product vs another, I chose the Zune for a few standout reasons. So, I thought to myself This means both on the PC and on the Zune, as well as my My cousin has an ipod and uses the itunes store for her music She asked me, how can I play my music in Windows Media Player? After searching for a good 10 minutes, I came to the conclusion only Apple Products can play Apple branded media.

I was able to quickly match up all songs and albums, with the folders and genres I customized. Microsoft knew that in order to compete with Apple, they had to have similar specs, similar price, but better overall value. It has to be more than just a name. And, as we now see, Microsoft has truly committed a team to making Zunes evolve with each release, and eventually, now, turning Zune into a brand of its own. Just another cool feature to keep us connected to the things we love.

However, with the continued support of Microsoft, and now the Zune marketplace expanding onto new devices Xbox and soon, Phones August 6, The battery still last all day and only a few minor scratches on the screen. But it does an amazing job playing back movies and music videos much better than any of my friends Ipods.

I love the UI it is very easy to navigate and the software is much better than Itunes. I just wish more people would realize that competition is good for the market instead of going just for what all the cool kids have. I also wish it had a web browser. It just occurred to me that doctordevice may not have updated the firmware. I know that the Zune software does not let you do as much as iTunes, but it is more innovative and intuitive.

I wish all PMPs could be directly accessed directly as a drive, but that is a marketing question, not a technical one. There is a workaround for the Zune using Windows, by the way.

Might I add that Zunes are highly scratch resistant compared to the best-selling, though not the best, PMP? Words cannot describe how much I love this product. Everything that it does, it does almost flawlessly, from adding and playing music to podcats which are handled much better in the zune software than itunes.

The UI looks and feels much better than the linear and forced ipod UI, and you can set pictures as backgrounds. Basically, this player does everything that the ipods not including touch do and more. With wifi, you can purchase songs from the zune marketplace on the go and update your zune card and friends list. And hey, an FM radio! Take a hint, apple. The most intriguing and original part of this device is the social.

It shows your song plays and overall play count in a sexy and cool looking way. The software and website also recommend listeners like you, by taking your plays and matching your music taste with others. Cons: A little on the big side. I wish I could believe that could happen I love my zune 30! I recently upgraded to a Zune , which is even better hardware, but the Zune 30 will remain in my family until it stops working. It will be a hand-me-down for my son in a year or two.

It looks amazing! July 17, July 15, The 30GB models are perfect for storing music and video. The hardware is pretty sturdy, too -- ours have survived more than a few drops. July 12, I also bought the Zune 30 within 4 days of release. The guy showed me this and i have not given it up since. Ever since i have had my Motorola Razr, i have felt the need for devices with large screens and back then, this is also what sold me on the Zune.

I still carry around my Zune, using it mostly for podcasts now, however I was jammin out to some old Metallica the other day :D. No need for me to upgrade, the Zune 30 does all I need it to do and i still have about 13 gigs free.

I purchased my Zune 30 on its launch day. At the time I was ridiculed for not getting the ipod. But soon after I realized that the Zune 30 was a wonder of its own. Though it might be a brick, its the features that keeps me playing music on it constantly. And the screen size was amazing, after watching videos on it I wondered how ipod owners watched things on that tiny screen.

Then the other Zunes came out and were way more thin. But there is a secret I was listening to my Zune 30 as I was writing the review. I have yet to live somewhere where the ever-loving inter-net is so reliable that I can always stream radio, so I like FM radio in the ugly brick, and I definitely like how reliable it feels, and is.

July 8, I got the zune because is was a tad cheaper than the ipod. It sounds great, the screen is wonderful and the ui is easy to use.

The software is where the zune fails. Even though I have a fast computer, the software is just plain slow. The frustration just grows with larger music collections. The features and ability to update song information is lacking to all of the alternatives out there. Even Windows Media Player would be a much better option to use, but of course, Microsoft prevents you from using it with the zune.

July 3, I received a Zune 30 as a gift and have loved the player since day 1. Any complaint muttered about the Zune aside from 1st gen design appeal has almost consistently been with the software. One of the best features is the inclusion of an FM tuner.

Once during a tornado producing thunderstorm and again during a hurricane. It seems basic but when the power is out and you feel isolated having that silly FM receiver is definitely reassuring.

This player is loaded with features now as well including the ability to sync wirelessly, tag songs for purchase that are heard on the radio, and excellent Xbox integration on top of excellent performing hardware. The Zune is an excellent buy. July 2, If you asked me which MP3 player I wanted, I would have said none. I came across the Zune on woot. Navigation on the Zune is done via a 4-way directional pad and 3 buttons. The menus are well organized and easy to navigate through.

Scrolling through long lists is eased by showing the alphabet when the up or down directions are held in place. The Zune 30 currently supports music, video, pictures, podcasts, audiobooks, and even has an FM radio receiver and support for a few games. The Zune has good sound quality and features a built in equalizer with several presets for acoustic, classical, electronic, hip-hop, jazz, pop, and rock.

If you can get past the size, video on the Zune is quite enjoyable. The only downside to the Zune is that you need to use their software in order to sync content onto your Zune. My biggest complaint is that it runs sluggish on older hardware I use it on a 3Ghz Pentium 4 but seems to be okay on modern systems. I personally use my Zune for Podcasts and Audio books. I got this as a gift on the day that it came out.. Never had a single problem with it.

Its rugged, dependable, sleek looking and just perfect for me. The sad thing is that Zune got off to a bad start so not many people have heard of it. And the people that have either love it or hate it. Oddly enough the people I know that hate it have never actually tried one. I let a good friend of mine, loyal apple fan try it out, he loved it so much he went out and bought one for himself.

The wireless sharing, large screen, cool looks, and free upgrades struck a chord with him. Cant go wrong with this player. July 1, WeightBattery LifeAll in all a great music player that candle handle video but requires a lot of trascoding for popular formats like Xvid, H.

The Wi-Fi sync is great in theory but not so much in practice due to limitation of strength of signal. ZP Subscription makes it veritable music discovery machine especially with the auto updating channels and 10 free DRM songs a month. On Windows, the Software although processor intensive is much more stable and friendlier than iTunes. The free feature updates of later generation Zunes is also welcome.

Other than that I love my machine and would recommend it to anyone. I score it 10 out of I have heard stories about the battery problems, but I have had NO problems with the battery. I think anyone that gets this machine will be very happy with their choice. There are also various sizes and colors to choose from to fit your needs. I bought this MP3 player for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas.

I'm using the unit in advance to see how it works. The player is easy to use and works well with Microsoft Marketplace. The unit is a little big in size but does hold 30 gigs which is more than enough for me let alone a young child. I like the fact that it comes in different colors. I hope it is as dependable as my Zune HD. This is the best MP3 player I've ever used. It's simply amazing. I love the design on it. This thing is scratch proof! You can strike a key to it and it wont leave a mark!

The device itself is just pure silicon goodness. I wouldnt trade it for any other MP3 player. The screen it just beautiful. The color is just amazing, so is the clarity. I just cant stop talking about the design. I got the pink one, but I also love the brown and white one. If it wasnt for the pink one being limited edition, I would have bought the brown one.

But I love this one more. Beautiful Microsoft, just awesome. Though I dont like the black one much.. Now, the software But still fairly decent. Not much to complaing about. It could have been better. But I'm sure that it will be with a couple of updates.

There are so many things much better than the iPod, and this is the best one out of all of them. Skip to main content. About this product. Make an offer:. Stock photo.
