Awesone MP3 player!
I replaced my older Creative Zen player with the Zune 120 Gig model. I love my new mp3 player. I don’t think it’s lacking anything. The controls are easy to use and the sound quality is great too. I am using a pair of Sony noise cancellation earbuds. The video and picture quality are also very nice. I would recommend it to anyone.
Very god player
Overall this player is very good. The proprietory usb cable and the zune software sux. The battery playback time could be better..
Not happy!!
I am not happy with Zune. For some reason, I had high expectations forgetting it is a Microsoft product. At the end, I am returning this product after trying for a week to make a fried with it. Here are my points:
1. Zune software is bad. Well, you should know who made it: Microsoft. Nor user friendly, very slow and full with surprises - most of them bad for you. I have no recommendation how to use it, so let’s go the next item.
2. Screen appears to be very small and old-fashioned letterbox, not a wide screen. Only about 15% of my music videos and movies are wide screen, so this would not be a big deal if you do not look at the future. Everything is coming wide screen these days and I consider this a flaw.
3. Image defects: When I played my music videos, I noticed the following problem: As you know, most of the music videos are very dynamic in scene change. During playing, a horizontal line showed up every time right on the middle of the screen. When the scenes are changing slowly, this defect does not appear. I played the same videos (mp4 format) on my computer and there is no problem. I am returning the unit without a replacement.
4. Synching videos takes a long, long time. I mean LONG. For just a 10GB of music videos in MP4 format it took me a whole day.
5. Bad sound and no equalizer to improve it. I read some of the customer reviews and I thought it should not be a big deal. Wrong. The sound is more towards the treble side and no equalizer to improve it. This is a big problem for me.
6. Headphones need to be thrown away. Very cheap, inconvenient, and with bad sound.
7. No customizing options on the menus and font appearance. We are dealing with 120GB of memory here. They could have added more options.
8. Music videos cannot be sorted in playlists. The main reason I bought Zune was to load my music videos and play them. I was disappointed to find out there are limited sorting options.
I am giving it 2 starts only because there are not a lot of similar products out there to compete with. Still a good move from Microsoft. However, on performance I would give 1 STAR. My recommendation: Wait for something better if you are in my position.
